Trump and the Big Seven: They did not reach an agreement.
On Friday and Saturday, June 8-9, Canada hosted the G-7 summit. Despite the large number of issues on the agenda, the issue is really only one, it’s the main one: the new fees that Trump introduces against the US trade partners – against China and Mexico – and against the US allies – Canada and European countries.
The outcome of the first day of the summit is short: they did not agree. There are no joyful media reports about a “breakthrough” in the main issue. All the efforts of the participating countries turned out to somehow sign the final text – it must be signed before the middle of the Saturday, June 9, as Trump announced in advance that he would fly early to Hong Kong for a meeting with the head of North Korea.
All media write that everything could have ended even worse-the refusal of countries to sign the final text – and this is actually a complete collapse of the group of seven.
Let’s note an interesting turn of the plot around Russia. Trump, even before the summit, to all the other leaders of the Seven, unexpectedly said that it was necessary to return Russia to the Seven (that is, to the G8, respectively). Trump’s proposals were quickly rejected by the leaders of Germany and Britain, but Italy supported it. Very quickly, literally within one or two hours, Putin’s spokesman Peskov said that the Kremlin (read – Putin) is not interested in returning to the G8 – “we are more interested in developing other formats.” (On this day, Putin met with the leader of China, Xi Jinping).
At the very meeting of the Group of Seven, Trump did not raise the topic of Russia’s accession to the Group of Eight. At the same time, it was stated that “all European countries in the Group of Seven are against the return of Russia – until the conflict is settled in Ukraine” (that is, Italy was promptly “persuaded”). Still, we note that Germany and Sweden and Finland agreed to the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline – which was opposed by Trump … (this is not about the Group of Seven, but important for the overall picture).
The result is this: the General Statement of the Group of Seven will most likely be signed – but there is no main text in the text – a decision on the trade dispute over the new Trump duties. At the same time, the EU is preparing an introduction in July of reciprocal duties on goods from the United States. The last attempt to agree – Merkel’s proposal to convene a “forum” specifically on the issue of trade conflicts.
How will this affect the markets? I do not think that we will have a noticeable gap at the opening on Monday. But I do not see any reason for rapid growth.
EURUSD – closing day and week.
