Each episode opens with a specific data point: a new WTO ruling, a sudden tariff hike on semiconductors, a shipping-cost spike out of the Red Sea. Lucas, a former trade journalist, walks Luna through the legal and economic logic behind the headline; Luna, a supply-chain analyst, pushes back with on-the-ground logistics data from Port of Shanghai container indices and factory PMIs. Together they trace how a 25% steel tariff in Washington reshapes auto-assembly plants in Mexico, how export controls on Dutch lithography machines stall China's chip ambitions, and how the USMCA's rules of origin are quietly redrawing North American investment flows. The show avoids both jingoistic cheerleading and academic detachment — it's for the procurement director who needs to know whether to hedge yuan exposure, the policy wonk tracking Section 301 exclusions, and the investor recalibrating country-risk models.

Lucas and Luna examine Japan's recent yen intervention, China's quiet yuan devaluation, and what the weakening dollar means for exporters and importers alike. With the trade-weighted U.S. dollar index slipping to 120.7 and the yen touching 161 per dollar before snapping back, the hosts explain why central banks are increasingly using exchange rates as tariff substitutes. They also discuss how emerging markets like Brazil and India are caught in the crossfire. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand the real economy beneath the headlines about tariffs and supply chains. #CurrencyWars #TradeWars #YenIntervention #YuanDevaluation #DollarWeakness #CentralBanks #Japan #China #EmergingMarkets #Exports #Imports #TradeBalance #Economics #GlobalTrade #ForeignExchange #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 106 of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo dives into how currency wars are becoming the hidden front of today's trade conflicts.
