GIT Newsletter - April 2025
 

Dear Reader,

As we step into April and ride the ups and downs of the financial markets, we are also busy organizing two exclusive in-house days—one with Webb and another with NextWave-Infinium. Expect valuable insights, networking, and maybe even some free coffee and beer.

In this newsletter, we bring you the latest market updates. Stay tuned, and we hope to see you at our upcoming events!

In the Headline

1. Global stock markets tumble as Donald Trump’s tariffs loom
   
   Global markets tumbled on Monday over fears of an escalating trade war ahead of Donald Trump’s expected unveiling of a swath of new tariffs this week. Asian and European stocks fell sharply alongside US futures, accelerating a sell-off that began last week.

2. Germany’s spending push drives up borrowing costs across Eurozone
   
   Ten-year Bund yields have risen to close to 3 per cent this month for the first time since a global bond sell-off in 2023. That has pushed other government borrowing costs higher, thanks to German debt’s role as the de facto benchmark for the bloc’s market.

3. Is UBS’s ‘deal of the century’ starting to sour?
   
   Switzerland's finance ministry plans to enforce stricter capital requirements on UBS. These reforms would require UBS to back its foreign subsidiaries with 100% equity, raising its core equity tier 1 ratio to 19%.
