US President Trump is planning to invoke new trade authorities in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning his sweeping tariffs, according to NYT citing sources

• "Some officials expected Mr. Trump to announce the new authorities at a news conference on Friday afternoon, but they cautioned that plans could change."

• Section 301, a portion of law that allows the U.S. government to investigate unfair trade practices and impose tariffs accordingly.
• Section 122, allows the President to Enact a baseline tariff of up to 15 percent on all countries to address issues related to the trade deficit, though the taxes on imports may only stay in place for 150 days unless Congress votes to extend them.
• "Mr. Trump’s aides have considered using both authorities, focusing any tariffs in the Section 301 process on countries that do not already have a trade deal, the people said."

The mention of President Trump's potential new trade authorities in response to the Supreme Court's ruling indicates a renewed focus on protectionist measures, which could have significant implications for U.S. trade relations and market sentiment. If enacted, particularly under Section 301, it could lead to tensions with countries lacking trade agreements, influencing currencies like the USD and JPY, and potentially affecting commodities such as metals and energy. This development warrants close monitoring as it may signal a shift in trade policy and could provoke market volatility.
