📰 Market Headlines

Markets whipsawed violently as President Trump's tariff policies continued to roil global markets.

• The S&P 500 has been down 6% since his April 2 announcement, and the Dow by 5%.

• The 10-year Treasury yield surged above 4.5% as investors dumped US assets.

China's Commerce Ministry urged President Trump to "completely abolish" the 145% reciprocal tariffs.

Late Friday, the White House exempted tech products, including smartphones, computers, and semiconductors, from the reciprocal tariffs. Later on, the White House came out saying that this exemption may not be permanent, which created a bit more confusion.
