Romanian Liberals back centrist presidential candidate after hard-right surge

BUCHAREST (Reuters) -A member of Romania's coalition government threw its weight behind the centrist candidate in a presidential election run-off late on Monday, as the NATO member braces for a ballot that may propel an anti-NATO candidate to its highest office. Independent hard-right politician Calin Georgescu, 62, who had been polling in single digits before the vote, stunned observers by winning the first round on Sunday in a result that could affect Bucharest's staunch support for Ukraine. The leaders of both parties in Romania's ruling coalition, the leftist Social Democrats (PSD) and the centre-right Liberal Party (PNL), failed to make the second round, an unprecedented defeat as voters shunned establishment parties.

Sterling holds steady as Trump triggers currency swings

The pound was little changed on Tuesday, relatively unscathed after a threat from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to ramp up tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China sparked volatility in currency markets. Sterling initially lost ground after Trump's comments, reflecting its position as a "risk-sensitive" currency that tends to fall at moments of economic uncertainty. Trump on Monday evening in the United States said he would impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until they clamped down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border.

European shares set for choppy rise to fresh record in 2025: Reuters poll

European shares are expected to reach new peaks in 2025 but with only a modest rise as uncertainty surrounding U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's tariff plans and weak euro area growth limit gains, a Reuters poll of equity strategists found. "The journey to this upside won't be painless," said Michael Field, European market strategist at Morningstar, who predicts a little over a 3% increase. European shares have underperformed their U.S. counterparts this year as sluggish domestic growth, political uncertainty and the threat of tariffs on goods imported by the U.S. have weighed.

Morning Bid: Trump tariff threat jolts Canadian dollar, peso, yuan

Any speculation that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would adopt a 'softly, softly' approach to his trade and economic policies was jolted overnight as he warned of immediate tariff hikes on Canada, Mexico and China - hitting the currencies of all three. Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, said he would impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico on day one until these countries clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and undocumented migrants crossing the border. The move would appear to violate a free-trade deal with both countries that he negotiated during his first White House term.
