The question right now is whether stocks are rallying because the WH says Trump is open to a deal w/China, or if its the Financial Times report saying the Fed is ready to step in to stabilize the market if needed, which isn't confirmed by the Fed. #DOW +693

Stocks surge to session highs after the White House says Trump is open to a deal with China. This as both nations increase tariffs on each other. #DOW +755 #NASDAQ +328

Apple suddenly surging, +4.5%, helping drive the overall market higher, #DOW +435. Not seeing any $AAPL news to spur the move, but Tim Cook has been desperately seeking an exemption from tariffs.

Stocks hit session highs despite the US and China trade standoff, as well as rising bond yields and a weaker dollar. #DOW +422 #NASDAQ +248

Another quick reversal by stocks into positive territory. Scanning for tariff headlines now. https://t.co/a6AkNfIoKv

10yr treasury now at 4.55%, and stocks are heading the other way. #DOW -178

Ugly numbers in the April Univ of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index, down 11% from March, with unemployment expectations at the highest level since 2009 and year ahead inflation expectations at the highest level since 1981. Sentiment down for all political affiliations. #DOW -71

Stocks turn positive on this

Nasdaq turns green despite the 10yr treasury at 4.52%. Not sure how to reconcile that.

10yr treasury at 4.5% and the Euro at $1.14 vs the US Dollar. Stocks aren't gonna like that. #DOW -253

Stocks open lower after one of the most volatile weeks in history, but keep an eye on the 10yr treasury and the dollar, 10yr yield rising to 4.5% and the dollar is at a three year low vs the Euro, which is worth about $1.14. Neither is a bullish signal for the US. #DOW -238

Stock futures turn red before the opening bell.

Wholesale inflation unexpectedly declined in March, with the Producer Price Index -.4% m/m, and +2.7% y/y, well below estimates. Like the CPI, this precedes tariffs. #DOW +117 #NASDAQ +76

There's not gonna be much trade between the US and China with tariffs maxed out against each other. Reuters reports Tesla suspended new Model S and X orders in China since those models are made in the US.

Stocks are green despite treasury yields rising and the US dollar falling to a three year low against the Euro. We'll see how long that can last.

Good morning and a joyous welcome to Friday after another long week for the market. Futures are pointing higher despite China ramping up US tariffs to 125%. Bank earnings are solid, and $JPM and $WFC reaffirmed 2025 guidance, despite tariff uncertainty. #DOW +114 #NASDAQ +88

Another brutal selloff for stocks as the US and China standoff in a brewing trade war. Stocks finished well off session lows, but still, #DOW -1014 #NASDAQ -737 while the #SP500 nearly tripped a circuit breaker earlier which would've paused trading.
