New Zealand isn't likely to get a better deal than we're currently getting, when it comes to trade with the US.

Almost all goods to the US now face a 10% base tariff rate.

Donald Trump's announced a 25% tariff rate for Japan and South Korea from the start of next month and may also raise tariffs on other trading partners.

Business NZ Advocacy Manager Catherine Beard told Heather du Plessis-Allan New Zealand probably can't negotiate a tariff rate below the 10% rate we're facing.

She says if that's the best rate going, it's probably not worth New Zealand trying to get into a "David and Goliath" battle with the US.

Iwi-owned commercial entities have outperformed some of New Zealand’s largest listed companies.

ANZ’s annual Te Tirohanga Whanui report shows the entities emerged from the economic downturn in good shape, faring better on a return on assets basis.

Waikato-Tainui’s Te Arataurare among the strong performers, having a balance sheet of $1.9 billion.

Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka told Heather Du Plessis-Allan there are some reasons behind the uplift.

He says many iwi and Māori businesses are land and people based, they have low debt levels, and are often generational players.

Time's ticking for US trade partners to sign tariff deals with Donald Trump.

In April, the President announced most countries, including New Zealand, would face a 10 percent minimum levy - but has delayed their implementation.

This week, he's promised to send out what he's calling 'take it or leave it' letters.

Harbour Asset Management's Shane Solly revealed how the markets reacted.
