In the past 24 hours, global markets have been influenced by a mix of political developments, economic data releases, and geopolitical tensions. Key themes include ongoing U.S. tariff policies under President Trump, anticipation of Federal Reserve minutes, and potential summits involving major world leaders. Oil prices rose amid position adjustments, while broader equities faced caution due to trade uncertainties. 0 Markets were mostly lower as investors awaited Fed insights, with oil falling on prospects of a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting. 1

US Impacts (Political, Economic, Geopolitical): Political news centered on Trump’s tariff policies, which are creating market volatility and a “delicate policy dance” as investors under-react but risk amplifying future impacts. 61 Economically, the U.S. is seeing choppy trading ahead of Fed minutes and Powell’s speech, with persistent policy uncertainty and geopolitical risks like the US-Russia summit contributing to macroeconomic volatility. 63 67 Geopolitically, tensions from tariffs and potential summits (e.g., Trump-Zelenskyy) are weighing on sentiment, with markets bearing losses amid global value erosion. 77

Europe Impacts (Political, Economic, Geopolitical): European markets edged higher amid political developments overshadowing economic data, with focus on a high-stakes Trump-Zelenskyy summit. 20 Economically, weaker global expansion is dragging on exports, while bond yields and spreads reflect tightening momentum loss. 21 Geopolitically, tensions from US-Russia summits and broader conflicts are impacting stability, with markets shrugging at tariffs but bonds reacting negatively. 23 17

Japan (This Morning, August 20, 2025): Japan’s exports fell 2.6% year-on-year in July, more than expected, due to U.S. tariff pressures, marking a third straight decline. 41 43 The Nikkei eased off record highs as the trade honeymoon fades, with automakers rising on a weaker yen but overall sentiment cautious. 40 Asian stocks showed resilience, but Bitcoin’s weak structure amid Fed signals added pressure. 44

China (This Morning, August 20, 2025): China’s markets advanced on renewed trade optimism, with the CSI index down 0.38% but overall Asian upswing noted. 30 35 India and China are mending ties amid Trump tariff threats, potentially gaining momentum. 34 Shanghai’s key index soared to a 10-year high as investors rotated in, though spot tin prices fluctuated amid mediocre demand. 36 31

Key Earnings News and Sector Impacts

Earnings season is winding down with mostly positive results. On August 19-20, notable reports include:

  • ZTO Express (logistics sector): Reported Q2 parcel volume up 16.5% to 9.8 billion, adjusted net income RMB2.1B; positive for e-commerce and transport sectors, boosting confidence amid trade tensions. 33 
  • Keysight Technologies (tech/electronics): Expected EPS 1.72 vs. 1.57 prior; could impact semiconductor and AI sectors if beats, given tariff sensitivities. 57 
  • Other mentions: Viking Holdings (travel) solid Q2 but EPS miss affected river metrics; Medtronic (healthcare) lowered tariff impact guidance, raising FY26 outlook – supportive for medtech amid volatility. 53 Overall, earnings have lifted sectors like tech and consumer, but tariffs pose risks to export-heavy industries.

Drivers for Future Markets and Verified Prices (as of August 20, 2025)

Future markets are driven by U.S. tariffs escalating trade wars, Fed policy signals (e.g., rate cuts), geopolitical summits (Putin-Zelenskyy, US-Russia), and earnings momentum.
