    Spooked by the bond market, Trump has walked back Liberation DayWhat's happened? Trump's post on Truth SocialTrump blinked overnight - pausing Tariffs for 90 days on all countries except China. Raised tariffs on China from 104% to 125%. The White House is isolating China. Very dangerous. Keeping a 10% tariff in place for all (?) countries. Sector-specific tariffs (steel, aluminium, autos) are still in place by the looks of it.
