Reciprocal tariff analysis shows significant trade imbalances. Top offenders with highest tariffs to USA:

- Cambodia (97%)
- Vietnam (90%) 
- Sri Lanka (88%)
- Bangladesh (74%)
- Thailand (72%)

USA's reciprocal response is generally set at ~50% of imposed tariffs. Notable exceptions:

- Low tariff partners (10%): UK, Singapore, Australia, Turkey, Colombia
- High actual rates: Bangladesh (10.9%), Pakistan (9%), Brazil (7.8%)

Updated interest rates for key economies:

China: 3.0% (up from 2.3%)
India: 12.0% (up from 5.9%)
Brazil: 6.7% (down from 7.8%)
EU: 2.7% (up from 1.4%)

These significant rate changes impact global trade flows and currency dynamics. Keep these current rates in mind for more accurate market analysis.

How have these shifting trade rates impacted global supply chains and international commerce patterns?

What economic factors are driving these significant rate changes, particularly in India's case?
