US House Speaker Johnson says, on tariffs, he has “no intention of getting in the way of President Trump and his administration and how they've been using this very effectively”

House Speaker Johnson's comments suggest a potential continuation of Trump's tariff policies, which could amplify trade tensions and volatility in the markets. This stance may impact various asset classes, particularly those sensitive to trade dynamics, such as equities and commodities, while also affecting currency flows, especially for the USD against peers like the EUR and JPY. Watch for market reactions as this solidifies expectations around trade policy.
