Asset Allocation update – June 2025

Financial markets continue to display confidence that the trade war remains on a de-escalating path, even as the deadline for ‘trade deals’ to be agreed with the US moves into focus.

There remains no guarantee of certainty, however, given the legal challenges against the Trump Administration’s (mis)use of legislation citing a national emergency and national security concerns to justify tariffs. The legal process will stretch into late July and beyond, at best, so the shadow of tariff uncertainty will continue to loom over sentiment. However, the consensus view remains that we have seen the worst of the tariff threats and levels are likely to move towards the 10% baseline.
