That is because energy providers across Asia &#8211; which has been hit with some of the highest new U.S. tariffs &#8211; will be under pressure to cut power costs for their consumers, which include many of the world&#8217;s largest goods producers. The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry.<\/p>\n<p>By helping to lower operating costs for factories, Asia&#8217;s utilities may allow manufacturers to sustain some sales to the world&#8217;s largest importer, even with the new tariffs in place. But in order to produce the cheapest power possible, Asian power producers will need to step up the use of coal and likely cut back on the use of pricier fuels in their generation mix.That would be good news for coal traders and miners in the region, but likely bad news for regional emissions levels, which will only climb further as more coal gets burned for power.<\/p>\n<p>Most affected by the new U.S. tariff levels are the manufacturers of Asia, where China and Vietnam have been hit with new tariffs of 34% and 46%, respectively. This map shows the percentage of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration on each economy. This map shows the percentage of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration on each economy. Between them, China and Vietnam are home to a major share of the global production of electronics, clothing, furniture and sporting goods that are regularly purchased by U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Other Asian nations with large export-oriented manufacturing bases that have also been hit with steep new tariffs include Indonesia (32%), Cambodia (49%), Malaysia (24%) and the Philippines (17%). Given the relatively soft state of consumer demand in the U.S. so far in 2025, companies will not be able to pass on much of the cost increase triggered by the tariffs to consumers without incurring a sharp drop in sales.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead many companies may try to absorb at least some of the tariff impact themselves, and look for ways to reduce costs in order to maintain a profitable operating margin. This widespread search for cost reductions will likely be aided by local governments, who will be eager to preserve jobs in the manufacturing sector despite the new hostile trade arena.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/coal-traders-could-be-rare-winners-trumps-tariff-turmoil-maguire-2025-04-04\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/coal-traders-could-be-rare-winners-trumps-tariff-turmoil-maguire-2025-04-04\/\">Reuters Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/coal-traders-could-be-rare-winners-from-trumps-tariff-turmoil-maguire\/\">Coal traders could be rare winners from Trump\u2019s tariff turmoil: Maguire<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18456,575,18457],"class_list":["post-138862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coal-traders","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-winners"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138862\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
