European Banks Exposed to Tariff Threat From Likely Trump Presidency -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-06 17:46

0946 GMT - European banks with exposure to regions that could be slapped with higher tariffs could face negative implications from a Trump victory in the U.S., Citi says in a research note as the election results roll in. "If a new Republican government introduces higher tariffs on Europe directly, then Germany, Italy and Ireland are the most exposed European countries to U.S. exports," the analysts note. Tariffs on China and Mexico are the most probable and immediate, and could hurt banks with exposure to those regions such as HSBC, Standard Chartered and BBVA. This could potentially further weigh on loan demand, they say. Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank could also face negative implications as Germany is the largest exporter to China within Europe, they add.
