0644 GMT - The world may be entering a new era of trade protectionism, Natixis economists say in a research note. They reckon that China opted for a direct retaliation for this round of tariff due to the size and full coverage of the U.S. levies and China's leverage in future negotiations. However, Natixis thinks most other countries will likely prefer negotiations with the U.S., especially Southeast Asian countries. The U.S. could extend the negotiation window longer to allow more time to coordinate with multiple countries, they say. For China and the U.S., issues like the Panama port and TikTok could be bundled into the talks, but the two sides will likely prolong the economic stand-off based on self interest.
