Description

The stock markets around the world are in a funk following the decision by US President Donald Trump to impose "reciprocal tariffs" on more or less all the US's trading partners - except they weren't reciprocal, they were punitive. Then, there was a rumour that the tariffs would be put on pause. The markets went up. But that was denied. The markets went down. Then, they were put on pause. The markets went up. This is why, according to entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Daily Maverick Editor at Large Tim Cohen, the word "tariffs" ends in the letters FFS.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.
