Should Investors Increase Their Allocation to U.K. ETFs Now?

The U.K. sees mixed signals: slowing growth and easing inflation, but a $150B U.S. deal could spark investor optimism.

The UK has reportedly asked U.S. negotiators to modify domestic-production requirements, which are hindering an agreement to reduce tariffs on British steel exports.According to a Bloomberg News report, citing people with knowledge of the negotiations, the UK has requested that steel imports from European countries, such as the Netherlands, which are subsequently used to manufacture steel products in the UK, be considered British for the purposes of U.S. tariffs.The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-17/uk-pushes-us-to-drop-key-sticking-point-to-steel-trade-deal">report</a> added that the change will exempt products made by Tata Steel UK, which no longer operates a furnace in the UK and imports raw steel from other countries, from U.S. tariffs. U.S. negotiators are reportedly considering such an exemption, as long as steel from countries seen by President Donald Trump as strategic rivals isn’t covered under the UK deal.The U.S. has previously insisted that steel must be melted and poured in the UK to be considered British for tariff purposes, a criterion that Tata Steel, one of the country’s top producers, cannot fulfill.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWU">iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF</a> (EWU) was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.The Bloomberg report added that the trade agreement could be reached soon. Trump had said earlier this week that he expects to refine the trade deal with the UK during his official visit in September.The deal could help UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, which faced criticism from opposition parties after the initial trade deal with the U.S. in May. While the UK was the first country to announce a framework for a trade agreement, several issues, including steel tariffs, were unresolved.Trump wanted the UK to accept more beef and U.S. ethanol, while London wanted exemptions for cars and steel products. U.S. tariffs on UK steel products remain at 25% as the country was exempted from a June hike of tariffs to 50%.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/japan-exports-slip-again-in-june-as-trump-tariffs-bite-with-doubts-over-trade-deal/ch8KJMfR5YB">Japan Exports Slip Again In June As Trump Tariffs Bite, With Doubts Over Trade Deal</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Even so, April's goods exports were down 15% compared to a year earlier."The economic effects of the U.S. tariffs are now a reality. Thousands of UK exporters are dealing with lower orders and higher supply chain and customer costs," the BCC's head of trade policy, William Bain, reportedly said.While U.S. exports to the UK also dropped nearly 8% to 4.7 billion pounds. However, the record plunge in outbound shipments from Britain helped the U.S. log its first trade surplus with the country since May 2024.The trade imbalance caused the UK gross domestic product (GDP) to contract by 0.3% in April, compared with the 0.1% expected by economists polled by Reuters.Washington, D.C., first imposed 25% tariffs on British steel and aluminum on March 12, boosted the auto imports tariff to 27.5%, and imposed a blanket tariff of 10% on all other goods.&nbsp;The<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWU"> iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF</a> (EWU) has risen 20% this year, compared with 2.4% gains of the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY).Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/air-india-crash-tarnishes-boeing-787-s-flawless-safety-record-morgan-stanley-expects-more-regulatory-heat/chlLxchRRGV">Air India Crash Tarnishes Boeing 787’s Flawless Safety Record — Morgan Stanley Expects More Regulatory Heat</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
