Um I guess no surprise.
voice-verified
Um but the the and and you know the contrast between that and what's going on in the in the labour market is
voice-verified
And that's what the media is writing today, you know, the FT story today talking about you know citing some Fed sources and basically talking about whether um Kevin Walsh will actually abstain from giving a dot lot.
voice-verified
Um, you know, uh y y if you look at Williams, you know, the the vice chair, influential, he said he didn't think that for guidance uh was was particularly useful.
voice-verified
Um, you know, so he's g he's he's got an ally there.
voice-verified
So it keeps the market guessing, I think.
voice-verified
Um yeah, I don't think anybody's surprised at the news of a new slate of tariffs to be all I mean, we knew to your point there that the that once the the the the Supreme Court struck down the IPA tariffs, um, you know, and the the Trump administration pivoted immediately to a ten percent across the board levies for a hundred and fifty days under the section one two two.
voice-verified
That hundred and fifty days runs out on the twenty fourth of June, hence the reason why we need to have a new set of uh legal
voice-verified
Tariffs as far as the Congress is concerned.
voice-verified
And so James and Greer is rounded on this idea of uh in the 301, um uh as you say, uh which permits retaliation for you know so-called unfair trade practices around uh the idea of uh of most of the US's um key trading partners are uh are using um forced labour.
voice-verified
A lot of pushback it has to be.
voice-verified
it'll play out and then we'll get more you know, we'll get more tariffs under two hundred three two, two hundred one, three three eight, what have you.
voice-verified
It's worth noting for all this, for various tariff, you know, um for the the the the the average tariff rate uh as far as sort of you know monitors of this reckon it's it's it's lower than ten percent anyway, eight percent for the world, three to four percent for Canada and Mexico.
voice-verified
It's also worth noting that the EU and the
voice-verified
US, you know, it looks like they're going to tie up their deal at fifteen percent by July, that Trump's deadline, and Canada has proposed today uh a new detailed uh trade um deal that it wants to uh it wants to uh debate with the US by the first of July deadline.
voice-verified
So I think, you know, th th these tariffs are sort of, you know, the sidew a a sideline really against the sort of meat of the the the real uh
voice-verified
bilateral discussions that these guys are having.
voice-verified
Yeah, she's alongside uh Chris Kent uh before the Senate Economics Legislation Committee.
