Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on global trade tariffs as treasuries and commodities are once again on the move.

From Bloomberg

  • "US stock futures held firm as jitters over the White House’s latest tariff announcements gave way to optimism that there’s room for further talks. US Treasuries got swept up in a global selloff of longer-dated bonds.

  • S&P 500 contracts nudged higher 0.1% after the benchmark moved off a record high in the previous session. A 1% rebound in Tesla Inc. shares led gains among tech megacaps in early trading. 

  • The yield on 10-year Treasuries advanced three basis points to 4.41%, while the 30-year rate headed back toward 5%. This week, Japanese bonds are the focal point of global fiscal policy concerns, as investors grow uneasy over potential spending pledges ahead of the July 20 upper house elections.

  • For stock markets, Tuesday’s calm reflected traders’ belief in a familiar pattern of US President Donald Trump escalating his trade war only to later de-escalate. In the latest round, Trump said he was still open to negotiations and postponed duties of 25% or more on a list for trading partners until at least Aug. 1.

  • “Equity markets are focused on the positive news,” said Wolf von Rotberg, equity strategist at Bank J. Safra Sarasin. “Europe is working toward securing a framework agreement with the US and the July 9th deadline was pushed out by another month. The market has learned to focus on the facts more than following the talk.”"
