Vincent Deluard, StoneX Group Director of Global Macro Strategy, walks through the fragmentation of global trade and where Europe now sits between two rival blocs. The conversation covers why the China shock leaves little room for classic comparative advantage, and how the confrontation path built on US tariffs differs from the global South approach of absorbing cheap Chinese imports and specializing elsewhere. It also weighs EU China trade, where Germany feels the industrial shock while China remains the export market Europe has leaned on for two decades.
