Breaking

Lots of hysterical headlines as US equities knee-jerk reaction to the Canadian tariffs announcement, is to sell off sharply. Bitcoin has erased all of yesterday's gains, US yields are down and so is the USD. Weak US data overnight, coupled with more inflationary indications, and US Treasury Secretary Bessent saying he anticipates US inflation to meet Federal Reserve's 2% goal rapidly, can only lead to the conclusion that the US economy is very weak.

Trump confirms he will impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada on Tuesday[FT]

Overnight

Economic Indicators Released Overnight

US Manufacturing PMI lower and ISM Manufacturing Prices sharply higher is a bad combination. So is the crazy Atlanta FED GDP number, and Truflation reporting inflation sharply lower [X].

Equities

NASDAQ down but not out. Short-term needs confirmation and there is support just below. We're flirting with a correction and nowhere near a bear market yet. But things are moving swiftly.

NASDAQ Daily

Bitcoin

BTC whipped by Trump and all that nonsense. The hammer is still ruling the charts so still bullish until confirmed below 78,000. Equally above 97,000 will see return to the all time high. Both levels a long way away I know, but that means be patient whether you're a buyer or a seller.

Precious Metals

Gold bounces and Silver in non-mans land.

Loonie getting smashed again is no surprise but it could have been a lot worse. Lower USD helped a bit.
