The IMF cuts forecasts for every major economy and warns that the US could be hardest hit. Also: In Indian-administered Kashmir more than twenty tourists shot dead, and the surge in cosmetic surgery in China.

From the BBC World Service: The International Monetary Fund has cut its prediction for global economic growth from 3.3% to 2.8%. In its assessment, it describes President Donald Trump's tariffs as “a major negative shock to growth." Then, China is trying to stimulate its domestic consumption. One idea? "Silver trains." Designed for older people, and offering cocktails and karaoke, these tourism initiatives encourage retirees to travel more inside China.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Hillary Joffe, Editor-at-Large at Business Day, as the International Monetary Fund lowers global growth forecasts, warning of a fundamental reset in the global economic system. While Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana projected 1.9% GDP growth for South Africa in 2025, the IMF now expects as little as 1% amid global uncertainty triggered by shifting U.S. trade policies. With South African officials, including Godongwana and SARB Governor Lesetja Kganyago, in Washington for the G20 finance track, global economic stability hangs in the balance. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The IMF slashes its global growth forecast to 2.8 percent in 2025. China prepares to launch a new crewed mission to the country's space station. Somalia continues to face challenges including the expansion of the Al-Shabaab militant group.

Singapore shares rallied today alongside regional gains seen in Asia. The Straits Times Index was up 1.02% at 3,833.95 points at 12.20pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$731.19M in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have Keppel Real Estate Investment Trust, after the Reit manager reported today a net property income growth of 13.3 per cent year-on-year to S$54.6 million in Q1 of 2025. Meanwhile, developments in the US remain in focus given a change in stance by the Trump administration on the Federal Reserve and on trade with China. That’s as US President Donald Trump said overnight that he had “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, while signalling a more conciliatory approach to the trade war with China. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Thilan Wickramasinghe, Head of Equity Research, Maybank Securities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The International Monetary Fund slashes its forecasts for global growth blaming US tariff policy and uncertainty.

The IMF says President Trump's tariffs will contribute to a significant slowdown.

The International Monetary Fund has lowered its global growth forecasts for 2025 and '26, citing trade tensions and policy uncertainty.

The International Monetary Fund says it expects global economic growth to be slower as it sharply downgraded its forecast for US growth as a result of Donald Trump's tariffs and the uncertainty they have created. It also warns that risks to the global financial sector had significantly risen since last autumn. But first, we look at why it's important for central banks to be free from political meddling, as Trump's intensifying attacks against Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell rattle markets.  

The International Monetary Fund is slashing its global growth forecasts due to impact of Donald Trump's tariffs, and expects the US to be hit particularly hard. US markets have been rallying, with the White House confirming it has 18 trade deal proposals on paper, is talking with 34 countries this week, and has a China deal in the works. But China's warning it will hit back at countries that make deals that go against its interests. Export NZ Executive Director Josh Tan told Mike Hosking it's still unclear how New Zealand and its exporters will be affected. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class. In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Leading on All Fronts" which was created and produced by Eric Liao and Kathryn Detweiler. Here are their liner notes: In the premiere and only episode of Leading on All Fronts, hosts Eric and Kathryn explore the critical themes of Inclusive Leadership and Team Leadership from chapters 12 and 16 of Peter G. Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice (9th Edition). They discuss key leadership strategies such as embracing responsibility, mastering clear and consistent communication, fostering a collective “bought-in” mentality, and exemplifying qualities that inspire others to follow. Their guest, Jeff Mueller, brings a wealth of experience and insight to the conversation. As a partner at Polen Capital and co-portfolio manager of the firm's Global Growth strategy, Mueller combines deep expertise in finance with a disciplined approach to leadership. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, where he teaches Compounders in the renowned Value Investing Program. Mueller's path to leadership is both dynamic and inspiring. Over a decade of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he flew more than 200 combat missions in F/A-18 aircraft, honing his skills in high-pressure, mission-critical environments. He later transitioned to finance, earning his M.B.A. with honors and distinction from Columbia Business School while being recognized as a Tillman Scholar. Before that, he graduated from Trinity University with a Bachelor of Arts in communication and business administration, captaining the men's tennis team, achieving All-American status, and contributing to a national championship victory. Today, he resides in Florida with his wife and two children. In this episode, Mueller reflects on the lessons learned throughout his career, emphasizing the importance of continuous growth and embracing the question, “What's next?” He also shares a powerful insight from his Marine Corps experience: the motto, “Mission first, Marines always.” This guiding principle underscores the need to prioritize team cohesion as the foundation for achieving a shared mission—wisdom that resonates far beyond military service. Through engaging dialogue and actionable insights, this episode provides a thoughtful exploration of leadership and its impact. It's a fitting way to both introduce and conclude Leading on All Fronts. Music Credits: ● Intro: "Epic" by BlackTrendMusic ● Outro: "Epic" by Lite Saturation

Market sentiment seems to be holding in pretty well as this week comes to a close. Equity markets are generally holding up at healthy levels, credit spreads remain pretty tight, and commodity currencies, which are often seen as global growth sensitive and risk barometers, are holding up at higher levels. This week in the US, our focus will be on core PCE inflation and any new Trump or tariff developments. In Europe, we'll be watching the German election fallout, along with the latest inflation readings. Then it's the latest from Asia, with central bank meetings in Korea and Thailand, and China PMI data ahead. Chapters: US (02:16), Europe (06:46), Asia (11:31).

Mabrouk Chetouane discusses his predictions of slower global economic growth. He reacts to the delayed tariffs and the potential of a trade war, saying that the market is still “confident” but in “wait-and-see mode.” He compares the U.S. and China's economic situations and gives his perspective on investing opportunities.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
