When President Donald Trump announced a new round of sweeping tariffs on April 2, many anticipated a global spike in inflation. However, nearly a month later, the markets are showing the opposite effect, and some countries, especially in Europe, could end up reaping more benefits than the United States.

The tariffs imposed by the U.S., far from protecting the national economy or boosting domestic prices, are generating a global surplus of goods, particularly from China. With decreased demand from the U.S. market, these products are seeking new destinations, and Europe is emerging as a key recipient.

The result: downward pressure on prices that benefits European consumers while leaving the U.S. facing more complex macroeconomic risks.

And the European Central Bank (ECB) responded swiftly. In early May, its Governing Council cut the deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.25%. A more aggressive 50-point cut was even discussed, according to ECB President Christine Lagarde.

This shift signals a new focus. The ECB is no longer trying to fight inflation, but to stave off an economic slowdown. Lagarde made it clear: “Tariffs are probably more disinflationary than inflationary”. With that in mind, the ECB is already expected to revise its growth outlook downward in its next meeting in June.
