[sudden and sharp]

Esto es un sindiós.

Así no hay quién se entere.

Son dos divisas diferentes, dos metodologías y... ¿dos fechas para el tipo de cambio?

Son dos divisas diferentes, dos metodologías y... ¿dos fechas para el tipo de cambio?

Lo que son es trampas al solitario.

Si yo te vendo un malo por un 1 euro y tu me vendes dos suddens por el equivalente a 2 euros, yo tengo un déficit comercial contigo. Podemos adornarlo conque si el día de la venta el euro valía más suddens o con cualquier ingeniería financiera que queramos, pero un reporte serio no puede decir que las dos partes han ganado en el intercambio porque han vendido más a la otra en el mismo periodo de tiempo. Soplar y sorber a la vez, no.

En tu ejemplo hay una diferencia por un euro de valor. (Porque hay una tercera divisa... en juego.)

En tu ejemplo... pero sin meter euros; uno ha vendido 2 dólares y el otro tres libras.

Done is better than perfect for British PM on UK-US trade deal

An imperfect deal is better than no deal, implied British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday following the announcement of a new US-UK trade agreement.

Asked by reporters in England whether the deal marks an improvement on the US-UK trading relationship of six months ago, before Trump took office, Starmer replied: “The question you should be asking is: Is it better than where we were yesterday?”

Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at trading platform IG, told CNN on Thursday that “it’s a relief (for markets) to see some kind of deal signed, even if it leaves tariffs on the UK at 10% and doesn’t remove them entirely.”

Today’s announcement is “very light on detail,” he added, “but investors are glad to see progress of any kind” — even with a trading partner that represents a small slice of US trade.

Others were less reassured by the announcement.

“For the rest of the world, this (deal) could offer something of a blueprint,” Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a note on Thursday. “But countries being threatened with even higher reciprocal tariffs would presumably have to offer more that (sic) the UK, which only ever faced the 10% minimum.”

Michael Pearce, deputy chief economist at Oxford Economics, wrote in a note that the two sides had steered clear of negotiating on contentious issues such as opening UK health care markets to American providers.

“That fits with the broader picture that deep and comprehensive trade deals are difficult to achieve,” he said.

Trump announces trade deal with UK

Donald Trump has announced a trade deal with the UK, making Britain the first country to reach an agreement with the US since the White House announced sweeping tariffs last month.

Both the US president and the UK’s prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, talked up the pact as a landmark in the countries’ relations but it stops short of a comprehensive agreement.

The UK will be able to export 100,000 cars a year to the US at a 10 per cent tariff, a reduction on the prevailing 27.5 per cent tariff. That quota is big enough to account for almost all current exports.

*Tariffs on steel and aluminium fall from 25 per cent to zero.

*A 10 per cent tariff that applies to most goods imports remains.

*The two countries have agreed “reciprocal” market access on beef, with UK farmers receiving a tariff-free quota of 13,000 metric tonnes and Starmer insisting there will be no change to food safety standards.

*The UK will remove the tariff on US ethanol
