UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Camels through the eyes of fishhooks'

The US-China tariff cut is economically negligible; watch instead whether central banks let oil-driven yield moves and unfounded AI optimism shape rate policy.

• Tariff deal is trivial: US-China agreed to lower tariffs on $30bn of goods (e.g. camels, fishhooks), equal to just ~two months of estimated tariff avoidance implied by US-China trade data gaps.
• Oil-bond linkage: Crude oil rose on Gulf tensions after Trump rejected Iran's Hormuz offer and Houthi attacks hit Saudi Arabia; Donovan expects yields and refined oil prices to correlate if central banks offset higher oil via weaker non-oil economy.
