Head of France's Medef business lobby worried about recession risk from U.S. tariffs
PARIS, April 9 (Reuters) - The head of France's Medef business lobby group warned on Wednesday that U.S. tariffs, that are deepening a global trade war, could hit economic growth and lead to a recession.
"Of course I am worried," Patrick Martin told RTL radio when asked about the impact of U.S. tariffs on Fench businesses
"The risk is that growth will stall and that we go into a recession," he added.
President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs on dozens of countries took effect on Wednesday, including massive 104% duties on Chinese goods, deepening his global trade war even as he prepared for negotiations with some nations.

Bank of Thailand forecast to keep rates steady on June 25, cut in Q3
BENGALURU, June 23 (Reuters) - The Bank of Thailand will pause its easing cycle on Wednesday to preserve limited policy space amid ongoing trade uncertainty and renewed domestic political tensions, according to a Reuters poll of economists who expect a rate cut next quarter. The decision to hold would come despite prices falling 0.57% in May, following a 0.22% decline in April, and economic growth slowing to 3.1% last quarter. More than 60% of economists, 17 of 27, in the June 16-20 Reuters poll predicted the BOT would leave its benchmark one-day repurchase rate (THCBIR=ECI), opens new tab unchanged at 1.75% on June 25. Ten forecast a 25 basis point cut to 1.50%. "Following back-to-back cuts in February and April, the case for further near-term easing has diminished," said Lavanya Venkateswaran, senior ASEAN economist at OCBC bank. "BOT can afford to wait until the impact of the previous rate cuts works itself through the system, while preserving its limited policy space. The onus is now on the government to step up with fiscal policies and trade negotiations to mitigate downside risks to growth," she added. Among those who provided a longer-term outlook on rates, 17 of 24 respondents expected the BOT to cut rates by a quarter point to 1.50% by end-September. Five predicted no change, while two expected rates to be half a point lower by then at 1.25%. Looking further ahead, half of those polled, 12 of 24, expected the key rate to be 1.50% at year-end. While trade talks with the U.S. are underway, a 36% tariff on Thai goods announced in April, but put on hold for 90 days, is looming if no deal is reached before July 9. Renewed domestic political uncertainty could also weigh on the central bank's policy decision-making. The United Thai Nation party - the second-largest partner in the governing alliance - has called for Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to step down after just 10 months in office. "It's really hard for the BOT right now because a lot of uncertainty is going on. It's not just the trade but also the domestic political situation, so it's better for them to wait a little bit," said Poon Panichpibool, a markets strategist at Krung Thai Bank. "If the situation gets worse then a 50 basis point rate cut will not be ruled out. I think that would be a better time to use monetary policy," he added.

Iran told shutting down oil 'choke point' would be 'economic suicide'
The US has warned Iran that closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to American strikes on its nuclear sites would be 'economic suicide' as the UK is warned it could be hit hard Iran has been warned that shutting down a crucial Middle East oil "choke point" following US strikes on its nuclear facilities would be tantamount to "economic suicide", as reported by The Telegraph. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on Iran's allies, including China, to exert pressure on Tehran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, stating that any closure would be a "terrible mistake". "I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," Mr Rubio said during an interview with Fox News. "If they do that, it will be another terrible mistake. It's economic suicide for them if they do it. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours," he continued. In retaliation for US strikes, Iranian lawmakers have voted to obstruct vital shipping routes through this key waterway after Donald Trump decided to engage in the conflict between Israel and Iran, reports the Express. However, the vote by the Iranian parliament is not definitive, and state television has emphasised that the ultimate decision lies with Iran's top security officials, Reuters reports. The narrow strait, situated within Iranian territorial waters, is considered the most critical oil transit choke point globally, with approximately one-fifth of all worldwide oil supplies and a third of liquefied natural gas passing through it. Any efforts to disrupt maritime traffic by deploying mines or missiles could trigger a global oil crisis, skyrocket inflation rates and potentially plunge the economy into a downturn. On Sunday, specialists cautioned that such a move to shut the strait might also elicit "a significant military response" from both the United States and its allies. Eurasia Group, a leading consultancy in political risk, advised clients: "The US has amassed a massive military presence in the Gulf and surrounding region, and a move by Iran against the strait would almost certainly trigger a significant military response." Ami Daniel, CEO of maritime data company Windward, noted that even the mere "perception" of an Iranian assault on shipping could reduce maritime traffic to a mere trickle. He further remarked: "People are talking about whether they block the Strait of Hormuz, but how about if they just make it very dangerous to go through?". "Commercial shipping is not the Navy. They don't have to go. So actually, even just increasing the risk to go there will gradually make a big difference versus blocking it completely." As anxieties mount regarding a fresh oil emergency, countless drivers could be hit with soaring fuel costs at the filling stations. The UK, which relies on imports for roughly half its oil supply, stands to be particularly exposed. Following President Trump's ultimatum giving Iran two weeks to start talks, crude oil settled around $77 a barrel last Friday, as market players speculated that any immediate conflict was likely to be averted. Amidst escalating tension, market analysts are bracing for a surge in prices come Monday, as the "risk barometer" skyrockets. There's chatter that we could be looking at $100 a barrel or even higher on the horizon.

Rupee under fire after US strikes on Iran jolt oil, stoke risk aversion
MUMBAI, June 23 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee is set to open weaker on Monday, pressured by the rise in crude oil prices and risk-off sentiment following the U.S. military action against Iran. Non-deliverable forwards indicate the currency will open around 86.75-86.80 per dollar, compared to 86.5850 in the previous session. Oil prices jumped to their highest level since January after the U.S. joined Israel in attacking Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, increasing concerns over the potential impact on energy supply. Tehran vowed to defend itself. The attack came just after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that such a decision would come 'within the next two weeks". Fears that Iran may disrupt traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key conduit for about a fifth of world crude flows, lifted oil prices and weighed on risk assets. Goldman Sachs warned that if oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz — a key chokepoint for crude shipments — were halved for a month and remained down by 10% for the following 11 months, Brent could temporarily spike to $110. Brent crude hit a high of $81.40, before retracing a part of its rally. The rupee, which had caught a bit of a breather on Friday, unfortunately has to contend with the U.S.-Iran news, a currency trader at a bank said, "and we're back to watching if 87 breaks". An FX trader at another bank noted that the rise in oil prices was milder than expected, and attention now shifts to how Iran chooses to respond. "While Iran may feel it needs to retaliate to US strikes, blocking the Hormuz might be a step too far," ING Bank said in a note, and said that the price action in Asian trading suggests markets do not yet believe crude flows through Hormuz will be blocked. KEY INDICATORS: ** One-month non-deliverable rupee forward at 86.90; onshore one-month forward premium at 10.25 paisa ** Dollar index up at 98.92 ** Brent crude futures up 1.8% at $78.4 per barrel ** Ten-year U.S. note yield at 4.39% ** As per NSDL data, foreign investors bought a net $235.3 million worth of Indian shares on June 19 ** NSDL data shows foreign investors bought a net $34.4 million worth of Indian bonds on June 19
