(Reuters) -Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Susan Collins said Friday that financial markets, which have been under massive pressure, appear to be holding in, in comments made in an interview with Yahoo Finance. “Markets continue to function well,” Collins said in the interview, adding “financial market movements are something to stay focused on” amid a huge range of uncertainty tied to trade policy. Collins' comments to Yahoo come after a speech the official made late Thursday that flagged the uncertain outlook caused by the Trump administration's tariffs, amid expectations the big rise in import taxes imposed by the president will drive up inflation and depress growth for a time.

One of Spain's leading olive oil producers is pondering an expansion into the U.S. in response to the tariff war unleashed by Washington, just as its peers are rushing out exports while the bulk of new tariffs are still on hold.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -Turmoil in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff hikes has abruptly stalled emerging market sovereign debt sales in April, after issuance from developing nations and companies shattered first-quarter records. April is usually a busy month for emerging market debt sales on international capital markets, but policy uncertainty, fears of global recession and spiking U.S. yields have choked risk appetite. This is in sharp contrast to the first quarter, where emerging market firms issued $150 billion and sovereigns $89 billion, according to calculations from JPMorgan.

The Federal Reserve should intervene in markets only reluctantly and in a true emergency, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Friday in the most explicit comments yet from a Fed official about responding to the volatility that has torn across markets in response to President Donald Trump's tariff barrage. "The Fed or Treasury stepping in should be done reluctantly, should be done when it is only truly needed," said Kashkari, who as a Treasury official during the 2007-09 financial crisis led the Troubled Asset Relief Program. "I think we should be very cautious about taking moves that could demonstrate a weakening, which I don't think is there, to the Fed's commitment to getting inflation down."
