President-elect Donald Trump's latest tariff proposal could represent a potential economic earthquake, with economists already forecasting significant fallout for trade flows, exchange <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns">rates and consumer prices.</a>
On Monday, Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada, blaming these nations for failing to curb drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Additional, he pledged a 10% hike on Chinese tariffs. 
Mexico, Canada, and China collectively make up 43% of U.S. goods imports, with shares of 15.4%, 13.6%, and 13.9%, respectively, according to Goldman Sachs. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs: Tariffs Could Rattle Global Markets</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts were quick to assess the broader economic implications of Trump's tariff rhetoric. 
Isabella Rosenberg, a Goldman Sachs forex analyst, said the proposed 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports would represent a significant economic shock for both the loonie and the peso.
"If tariffs were to rise to 25%, the estimated impact to USD/CAD and USD/MXN would be about 13% and 17%, respectively," she said in a note to clients on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the Mexican peso weakened by 1.9%, while the Canadian dollar – as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) – fell by 0.6%. 
Tariffs at the levels proposed by Trump would disrupt supply chains and amplify costs, Rosenberg said. 
The analyst said she expects that a renegotiation of United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) – which replaced the previous North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) – will likely take place next year.
&#8220;The USMCA is up for review and renewal in 2026, and it appears likely that this will involve renegotiating some aspects of the Agreement,&#8221; she wrote. Such uncertainty will keep the Canadian dollar under pressure in 2025, according to her view.
Joseph Briggs, an economist at Goldman, said: "We expect that the incoming Trump administration will impose higher tariffs on imports from China as well as auto imports from Europe and Mexico shortly after his inauguration in January."
Briggs added that the tariffs would likely affect economic data even before they're enacted, citing heightened policy uncertainty and ripple effects across currency markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">$300 Billion In Government Revenue, But At Cost Of Higher Inflation</h3>
If fully rolled out, the tariffs would generate nearly $300 billion in annual revenue for the U.S. government, equivalent to about 1% of GDP, according to Goldman's calculations.
Yet the direct effects of tariffs don't stop at border disputes — they also trickle down to the wallets of everyday Americans.
Goldman Sachs estimates the effective tariff rate in the U.S. would rise by 8.6%, leading to a 0.9% increase in core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) prices.
For context, this inflationary impact is three times larger than the effect of previous tariffs under Trump's first administration, such as those targeting China and auto imports.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Trade Tensions Are Back</h3>
Trump's latest trade salvo reintroduces significant tension to global markets, evoking comparisons to his first term's tariff battles. 
The potential 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada has economists and investors bracing for wide-ranging effects, from inflation and exchange rate volatility to supply chain disruption and consumer pain.
While Trump's hardline tactics often double as negotiating strategies, the sheer scale of this proposal ensures that its reverberations will be felt long before Jan. 20.

Goldman Sachs Expects Major Selloffs In Canadian Dollar, Mexican Peso, Says Trump Tariffs Threaten USMCA Agreement

President-elect Donald Trump dropped an economic bombshell Monday, announcing plans to slap hefty tariffs on key U.S. trade partners once he returns to the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">on Jan. 20. </a>
Trump pledged 25% tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian imports and an additional 10% levy on Chinese goods, which would remain in place until drugs, and in particular fentanyl, will stop entering the U.S.
&#8220;Thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing crime and drugs at levels never seen before,&#8221; Trump wrote on Truth Social.
&#8220;On January 20th, as one of my many first executive orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on ALL products coming into the United States. This tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this Invasion of our country!&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Markets React: Peso And Loonie Hit Hard</h3>
Currency markets were the immediate shock absorber of the news. The Canadian dollar, tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>), nosedived 0.8%, breaching the 1.41 level against the U.S. dollar — a low not seen since April 2020.
The Mexican peso didn't fare much better, sliding 0.9% to 20.50 against the greenback, while the Chinese yuan slumped 0.4% to a four-month low.
Robin Brooks, economist at the Brookings Institution, warned that this may only be the beginning. "The Mexican Peso is down 1.5% after tonight&#8217;s tariff news from the president-elect. To put this fall in perspective, the Mexican peso fell 10% in just a few days right after Trump's surprise win in 2016. So this fall is small and only the beginning of a sorely needed repricing."
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) fell 1.5% in premarket trading on Tuesday.
James Thorne, a market strategist at Wellington Altus, questioned the practicality of Trump's rhetoric. "Do you really think Mr. Trump will put a 25% tariff on Canadian Sour Crude Oil?" Thorne wrote. "Recall it's mixed with Sweet Shale oil and then refined. Constraint of US refining capacity. Think about that for 1 minute."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China In The Crosshairs: Fentanyl And Tariffs</h3>
Trump renewed his criticism of China, blaming the country for America's fentanyl epidemic.
&#8220;I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States—But to no avail," Trump said. 
He accused Chinese officials of failing to deliver on promises to crack down on drug dealers, stating, "Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America."
The tariffs, according to Trump, would serve as a dual-purpose weapon: curbing illegal drug imports and bolstering his "America First" economic policy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bill Ackman: Trump Is Using Tariffs As Weapon</h3>
Prominent investor Bill Ackman chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Trump's tariffs are less about trade and more about leverage. 
"To be clear, according to Trump, the 25% tariffs will not be implemented, or if implemented will be removed, once Mexico and Canada stop the flow of illegal immigrants and fentanyl into the U.S.," Ackman said. 
"In other words, Donald Trump is going to use tariffs as a weapon to achieve economic and political outcomes which are in the best interest of America, fulfilling his America First policy."

Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar Slide As Ackman Says Trump Will Use Tariffs 'As A Weapon'

On Monday, November 24th, U.S. markets ended the day on a positive note, with gains fueled by a sharp drop in bond yields following Scott Bessent&#8217;s nomination as U.S. Treasury Secretary appointment eased concerns over government borrowing and trade tariffs, boosting market confidence.

US Futures, European Stocks Rally Post-Trump Victory While Crude Oil And Gold Decline - Global Markets Today While US Slept

A second Donald Trump mandate could lead to marked shifts in global commodity prices, spurred by his pro-fossil fuel policies, potential tariffs, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" rel="noreferrer noopener">aggressive trade stances</a>.
Oxford Economics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/resource/trump-presidency-could-alter-the-trajectory-for-commodity-prices/" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a> that Trump has campaigned to "unleash a new ear for fossil fuels," as deregulation of the U.S. energy sector could increase the production of oil, coal, and natural gas.
They expect that accelerating the current expansion in the domestic production of energy commodities would "lower the prices and, in turn, outweigh greater demand for diesel and gas through the repeal of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act."
"Trump has pledged to roll back restrictions on drilling and permitting which were implemented under the Biden administration, as well as to streamline deregulation and end any [electric vehicle] mandates or green energy incentives," UK-based Gibson Shipbrokers stated, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/102924-us-elections-trump-presidency-seen-as-bullish-for-tanker-rates-in-us-middle-east-russia-wild-card" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> S&amp;P Global's report.
Industrial metals and agricultural goods, including steel and soybeans, will likely feel the impact of renewed tariffs, especially in a trade showdown with China. While China sought to reduce its exposure to U.S. soybean imports by importing more from Brazil and Argentina, it still buys a notable amount of U.S. oilseed.
Futures prices reacted accordingly to the election results, with the November 2024 deliveries declining 2.01% on the CME exchange, while Soybean oil prices rose 0.42% for the same period.
Trump's proposed tariff of up to 60% would likely weaken demand for industrial commodities like copper, steel, and iron ore, all essential to China's manufacturing.
"If Trump wins, I expect we'll see a serious slowdown in demand for metals. China, the largest consumer of these resources, would be facing the toughest constraints," Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/commodities-under-pressure-likely-trump-win-us-presidential-race-2024-11-06/" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> Reuters.
Such a shift could weigh on commodity-exporting nations like Australia, making it more challenging to maintain export revenues.
Matthew Durban, a former Australian Trade and Investment Commission economist, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/increasingly-unstable-expert-claims-trump-win-would-be-calamitous-for-aussie-economy/news-story/c9e258889a0135c1f1cbbc80e3f1b234" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted</a> the risk for News.com.au, stating that Australia's economy would face "calamitous" consequences from reduced Chinese demand, which currently accounts for 35% of the country's exports. Tariffs would disrupt Chinese industrial activity, leading to lower demand for Australian commodities that fuel Chinese manufacturing, such as coal and iron ore.
That situation would put the country in strategic tension as it balances its close alliance with the U.S. and its economic reliance on China.

Donald Trump's Victory Could Disrupt Commodities, Put Australia In Precarious Position

대통령 당선자 도널드 트럼프의 최근 관세 제안은 잠재적으로 경제적 지진을 일으킬 수 있으며, 경제학자들은 무역 흐름, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">환율 및 소비자 가격</a>에 대한 중대한 여파를 이미 예측하고 있다.
월요일, 트럼프는 멕시코와 캐나다에서 들어오는 모든 수입품에 25% 관세를 부과할 계획을 발표하며, 이들 국가가 마약 밀매와 불법 이민을 억제하지 못했다고 비난했다. 추가적으로, 그는 중국에 대한 관세를 10% 인상할 것도 약속했다.
멕시코, 캐나다 및 중국은 총 43%의 미국 상품 수입을 차지하며, 각각 15.4%, 13.6%, 13.9%를 차지한다고 골드만삭스가 발표했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">골드만삭스: 관세가 글로벌 시장을 흔들 수 있다</h3>
골드만삭스의 분석가들은 트럼프의 관세 발언이 미치는 광범위한 경제적 함의를 신속하게 평가했다.
이사벨라 로젠버그(Isabella Rosenberg), 골드만삭스의 외환 분석가는 멕시코와 캐나다 수입품에 대한 25%의 관세 제안이 캐나다 달러와 멕시코 페소 모두에 중대한 경제적 충격을 나타낼 것이라고 말했다.
&#8220;관세가 25%로 상승한다면, USD/CAD와 USD/MXN에 대한 예상 영향은 각각 약 13%와 17%가 될 것이다&#8221;고 그녀가 화요일 고객에게 보낸 메모에서 말했다.
화요일, 멕시코 페소는 1.9% 하락했으며, Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>)가 추적하는 캐나다 달러는 0.6% 하락했다.
트럼프가 제안한 수준의 관세는 공급망을 방해하고 비용을 증가시킬 것이라고 로젠버그가 말했다.
그녀는 미국-멕시코-캐나다 협정(USMCA)의 재협상이 내년에 이루어질 것으로 예상한다고 언급했다.
&#8220;USMCA는 2026년에 검토 및 갱신될 예정이며, 이는 협정의 일부 측면을 재협상하는 것을 포함할 가능성이 높아 보인다&#8221;고 그녀가 썼다. 이러한 불확실성은 2025년까지 캐나다 달러를 압박할 것이라고 그녀가 보았다.
조셉 브릭스(Joseph Briggs), 골드만의 경제학자는 &#8220;우리는 새로운 트럼프 행정부가 중국 및 유럽과 멕시코에서의 자동차 수입에 대한 관세를 인수 후 즉시 인상할 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 말했다.
브릭스는 관세가 시행되기 전에도 경제 지표에 영향을 미칠 것이며, 정책 불확실성이 높아지고 통화 시장에 파급 효과가 생길 것이라고 덧붙였다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">$3,000억 달러의 정부 수입, 그러나 높은 인플레이션의 대가</h3>
관세가 완전히 시행될 경우, 연간 미 정부에 약 3,000억 달러의 수입이 발생할 것으로 골드만의 계산에 따르면 나타났다. 이는 GDP의 약 1%에 해당한다.
하지만 관세의 직접적인 효과는 국경 분쟁에 그치지 않고, 일상적인 미국인들의 지갑에도 영향을 미친다.
골드만삭스는 미국의 실질 관세율이 8.6% 상승하여 핵심 개인 소비 지출(PCE) 가격이 0.9% 상승할 것이라고 추정했다.
맥락적으로, 이러한 인플레이션적 영향은 트럼프의 첫 임기 동안 중국 및 자동차 수입을 겨냥한 이전 관세의 효과보다 세 배 더 크다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">결론: 무역 긴장의 귀환</h3>
트럼프의 최근 무역 발언은 글로벌 시장에 상당한 긴장을 재도입하며, 그의 첫 임기 동안의 관세 전쟁과 비교되고 있다.
멕시코와 캐나다에 대한 잠재적인 25% 관세는 경제학자와 투자자들이 인플레이션, 환율 변동성, 공급망 혼란 및 소비자 고통 등 광범위한 효과를 대비하도록 하고 있다.
트럼프의 강경한 전술은 종종 협상 전략으로 작용하지만, 이 제안의 규모는 그 여파가 1월 20일 이전에도 느껴질 것임을 보장한다.
