Bank of America CEO Predicts Trade De-escalation Under Trump’s Tariff Policy
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan anticipates a reduction in global trade tensions by 2026, citing Trump's proposed tariff adjustments as a stabilizing force. During a CBS News interview, Moynihan framed the expected shift from 10% to 15% average tariffs as a measured recalibration rather than an economic shock.
Market analysts note the current 14% average U.S. tariff rate—up from 2% pre-Trump—could plateau NEAR 15.2% for key trading partners. This projection comes amid ongoing scrutiny of non-tariff barriers and retaliatory measures from other nations.
