US-EU trade deal wards off further escalation but will raise costs for companies and consumers
President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have announced a sweeping trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on most European goods, warding off Trump's threat of a 30% rate if no deal had been reached by Aug. 1. The tariffs, or import taxes, paid when Americans buy European products could raise prices for U.S. consumers and dent profits for European companies and their partners who bring goods into the country.

The headline figure is a 15% tariff rate on "the vast majority" of European goods brought into the U.S., including cars, computer chips and pharmaceuticals. It's lower than the 20% Trump initially proposed, and lower than his threats of 50% and then 30%. Live Events Von der Leyen said the two sides agreed on zero tariffs on both sides for a range of "strategic" goods: Aircraft and aircraft parts, certain chemicals, semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products, and some natural resources and critical raw materials. Specifics were lacking. She said the two sides "would keep working" to add more products to the list. Additionally, the EU side would purchase what Trump said was $750 billion (638 billion euros) worth of natural gas, oil and nuclear fuel to replace Russian energy supplies, and Europeans would invest an additional $600 billion (511 billion euros) in the U.S. 50% U.S. tariff on steel stays and others might, too Trump said the 50% U.S. tariff on imported steel would remain; von der Leyen said the two sides agreed to further negotiations to fight a global steel glut, reduce tariffs and establish import quotas - that is, set amounts that can be imported, often at a lower rate. Trump said pharmaceuticals were not included in the deal. Von der Leyen said the pharmaceuticals issue was "on a separate sheet of paper" from Sunday's deal. Where the $600 billion for additional investment would come from was not specified. And von der Leyen said that when it came to farm products, the EU side made clear that "there were tariffs that could not be lowered," without specifying which products. The 15% rate is higher than in the past The 15% rate removes Trump's threat of a 30% tariff. It's still much higher than the average tariff before Trump came into office of around 1%, and higher than Trump's minimum 10% baseline tariff. Higher tariffs, or import taxes, on European goods mean sellers in the U.S. would have to either increase prices for consumers - risking loss of market share - or swallow the added cost in terms of lower profits. The higher tariffs are expected to hurt export earnings for European firms and slow the economy. The 10% baseline applied while the deal was negotiated was already sufficiently high to make the European Union's executive commission cut its growth forecast for this year from 1.3% to 0.9%. Von der Leyen said the 15% rate was "the best we could do" and credited the deal with maintaining access to the U.S. market and providing "stability and predictability for companies on both sides." The reaction is tentative German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the deal which avoided "an unnecessary escalation in transatlantic trade relations" and said that "we were able to preserve our core interests," while adding that "I would have very much wished for further relief in transatlantic trade." The Federation of German Industries was blunter. "Even a 15% tariff rate will have immense negative effects on export-oriented German industry," said Wolfgang Niedermark, a member of the federation's leadership. While the rate is lower than threatened, "the big caveat to today's deal is that there is nothing on paper, yet," said Carsten Brzeski, global chief of macro at ING bank . "With this disclaimer in mind and at face value, today's agreement would clearly bring an end to the uncertainty of recent months. An escalation of the US-EU trade tensions would have been a severe risk for the global economy," Brzeski said. "This risk seems to have been avoided." Car companies expect higher prices Asked if European carmakers could still sell cars at 15%, von der Leyen said the rate was much lower than the current 27.5%. That has been the rate under Trump's 25% tariff on cars from all countries, plus the preexisting U.S. car tariff of 2.5%. The impact is likely to be substantial on some companies, given that automaker Volkswagen said it suffered a 1.3 billion euro ($1.5 billion) hit to profit in the first half of the year from the higher tariffs. Mercedes-Benz dealers in the U.S. have said they are holding the line on 2025 model year prices "until further notice." The German automaker has a partial tariff shield because it makes 35% of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold in the U.S. in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but the company said it expects prices to undergo "significant increases" in coming years. Trump had cited the trade gap with Europe Before Trump returned to office, the U.S. and the EU maintained generally low tariff levels in what is the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, with some 1.7 trillion euros ($2 trillion) in annual trade. Together the U.S. and the EU have 44% of the global economy. The U.S. rate averaged 1.47% for European goods, while the EU's averaged 1.35% for American products, according to the Bruegel think tank in Brussels. Trump has complained about the EU's 198 billion-euro trade surplus in goods, which shows Americans buy more from European businesses than the other way around, and has said the European market is not open enough for U.S.-made cars. However, American companies fill some of the trade gap by outselling the EU when it comes to services such as cloud computing, travel bookings, and legal and financial services. And some 30% of European imports are from American-owned companies, according to the European Central Bank .

'Premium pitch key growth pillar for Nestle India'
NEW DELHI: India is one of the fastest-growing markets for Swiss packaged foods giant Nestle globally, driven by the country's large consumption base, strong performance of core brands, and entry into new, high-potential premium categories, according to , the outgoing chairman & managing director of Nestle India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With a turnover of over Rs 20,000 crore and a revenue CAGR of just over 10% during the past decade, Nestle India is well-positioned to sustain its growth momentum, he said. Its strategy - anchored in premiumisation, faster-paced innovation, and a sharper focus on 'Rurban' markets through a consumer cluster-based approach - is expected to accelerate growth for the packaged foods company in a market which has been facing stubborn commodity inflation and a consumption slowdown, said Narayanan. "Premiumisation and innovation are the two key pillars of growth. Along with a focus on legacy brands like and KitKat, the company aims to deliver sustained growth. Since the Maggi crisis in 2015, Nestle recalibrated and rejuvenated its portfolio by launching over 150 new products, which now contribute 7% to sales. Innovation is now four times faster than it was a decade ago," he told TOI in an interview. Premium products contribute around 12% of Nestle India's sales, up from 10% in 2018, growing at a 16% CAGR since 2015. With a Rs 7,500 crore market opportunity, premiumisation is a key driver of growth and profitability. Nestle India's capital expenditure has risen from nearly 2% of sales in 2015 to 10% of sales in FY 2024-25 - a clear reflection of the company's growing confidence in the Indian market and its deepening focus on serving evolving consumer needs. Additionally, through a consumer cluster-based and 'Rurban' strategy introduced in 2019, the company strengthened its route-to-market, with its brands now reaching two out of three households, said Narayanan, adding this strategic agility, combined with deep consumer insights, positions Nestle well to capitalise on evolving market trends and shifting preferences. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Responding to a question on the company's strategy of steering clear of mergers and acquisitions, he said, "We continue to explore good opportunities. But again, the question is one of valuation, potential, synergies, and growth opportunities that we see." India ranks among the top 10 global markets for the Switzerland-based Nestle and is the leading market worldwide for its flagship food brand Maggi, as well as the second-largest market for its confectionery brand KitKat.

Stocks have risen from their slump in April as investors speculate the US will strike trade deals with countries and that will help avoid significant damage to company earnings and the global economy . 'A US trade deal with the EU sets the markets up for a positive start to the week, although market participants also confront one of the busiest weeks on the economic calendar for the year,' wrote Kyle Rodda, a senior market analyst at in Melbourne. Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the EU deal on Sunday at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland, although they didn't disclose the full details of the pact or release any written materials. Live Events The hard-fought deal will see the bloc face 15% tariffs on most of its exports, including automobiles, staving off a trade war that could have delivered a hammer blow to the global economy. Meanwhile, the US and China are expected to extend their tariff truce by another three months, the South China Morning Post reported. The report comes ahead of trade talks between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Stockholm on Monday. Elsewhere in Asia, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba signaled he intended to stay in office despite a growing number of calls within the ruling party for him to step down.

Robust corporate earnings have bolstered investor confidence in US stocks, as companies head for their highest share of beats since the second quarter of 2021. Progress in trade deals, positive economic data and corporate resilience have offset worries that stocks are overheating. More than 80% of S&P 500 companies have exceeded profit estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. However, the risk of a bubble in stock markets is rising as monetary policy loosens alongside an easing in financial regulation, according to Bank of America Corp.'s Michael Hartnett. In geopolitical news, Thailand and Cambodia are set to hold talks Monday to discuss an end to their deadly border clashes after US President Donald Trump warned Washington wouldn't make a trade deal with either country while the conflict continued.
