9. SOUNDBITE (German) Tim Oechsner, capital markets expert at Steubing AG:
"The tariffs have a dual effect. On the one hand, they naturally increase inflation both in the eurozone and in the US. On the other hand, they naturally have an inhibiting effect on demand in the global economy. The key question for investors now is, of course, which is more important? A dip in demand in the global economy or rising inflation. And at the moment, investors clearly prefer the dip in demand in the global economy, which is why shares are currently weak."

11. SOUNDBITE (German) Tim Oechsner, capital markets expert at Steubing AG:
"Uncertainty is omnipresent on the markets. You can also see it in the bond markets. Investors have fled into safe government bonds or safe US Treasuries by the dozen. There has been a significant fall in yields here. Investors expect the ECB to cut interest rates up to three more times before the end of the year. These interest rate cut probabilities have increased significantly since yesterday. Before it was two steps, now it’s almost three steps."

13. SOUNDBITE (German) Tim Oechsner, capital markets expert at Steubing AG:
"For the traders, it definitely makes sense to keep a cool head. The stock market is also playing that there will in principle be a negotiated solution. So, (US President) Donald Trump has basically introduced the tariffs as a threatening gesture and would of course like to go to the trade table with the EU or other trading partners and then present a negotiated solution. So, to that extent, in principle it has now been boiled hot, but let’s see how hot it will be eaten in the end."
