  • The first three months of 2025 promised to be bumpy, but few expected the world to be on the verge of a full-on trade war and for investors to be fleeing Wall Street quite so fast after U.S. President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

The article "Take Five: Tantrums and Tiaras" from MSN Money discusses several key financial and economic issues currently affecting global markets. It highlights the ongoing U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, with a critical deadline looming that could lead to a default if not resolved, causing market jitters. The article also touches on the Federal Reserve's potential pause on interest rate hikes, despite persistent inflation, as markets react to recent banking sector turmoil. In Europe, the focus is on the ECB's next moves regarding interest rates amidst economic slowdown signals. Additionally, it covers the political and economic instability in Turkey following President Erdogan's re-election, which has implications for the lira and investor confidence. Lastly, the piece mentions the upcoming coronation of King Charles III, which, while not directly economic, has implications for tourism and national sentiment in the UK.
