Central banks are forced to get behind Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s protectionist choices (again in early August 20 19 with the announcement of a 15 % tax on USD 300 billion in Chinese products) have led to a fall in share prices, a decline in growth expectations, and therefore probably in investment expectations , expectation s of further rate cuts by central banks, and fear of a slowdown in global trade. All this has driven central banks to actually lower their interest rates: protectionism is paradoxically a way for Trump to obtain a more expansionary monetary policy.
