Good Morning!
Futures in the red at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on President Trump’s announcement on tariffs to both the EU and Apple as treasuries once again on the move along with bitcoin, dollar and oil.
From Bloomberg
"US stock futures dropped after US President Donald Trump’s threatened to impose sweepings tariffs on the European Union and Apple Inc., jolting an earlier quiet session into motion.
S&P 500 contracts fell more than 1.2%, setting the US benchmark on course for its worst week since the beginning of April. Treasury yields dropped across the curve. The dollar weakened.
In posts on Truth Social, Trump recommended a 50% tariff on EU imports starting next month. He also said he will impose a tariff of at least 25% on Apple if it doesn’t manufacture its US-sold iPhones locally. Apple shares sunk 4% in premarket trading.
Friday’s sudden shift underscores the ongoing risk that shifts in US policy can abruptly upend market dynamics at short notice.
Earlier this week, bond markets reflected investors’ concerns about ballooning US debt and deficits, which was amplified after Moody’s Ratings downgraded the nation’s top credit rating. Rising yields, particularly on longer-dated instruments, intensified investor concerns about the economic outlook amid a backdrop of elevated borrowing costs and tariff-induced uncertainty."
