Overnight

Currencies and stock markets were battered by the weekend announcements. Canadian Dollar, Mexican Peso and China Yuan obviously. The Aussie was collateral damage.

Gold fell as well. A crash is where everything goes down. A reallocation is where one asset is hammered and another benefits.

Thus far looks like a crash.

US index futures are currently backing this up.

Trudeau responds to Trump's tariffs yesterday and there are rumours of a meeting today with Trump.
