Let me get this straight, every other country said they were willing to negotiate with Trump and reduce their tariffs to ZERO, so Trump put those negotiations on hold.
Then he more than doubled tariffs to 125% on his biggest trading partner and said he is NOT willing to… pic.twitter.com/mQdgRQIhal

“December 31st, 2024:
0% Universal Tariffs
20% China Tariffs
April 8th, 2025:
30-50% Universal Tariffs
85% China Tariffs
April 9th, 2025:
10% Universal Tariffs
125% China Tariffs
This is not bullish. This is just *less bearish*.
Learn the difference.”

What unfolded in the bond market over the past 24 hours was a major driver of today's decisions regardless of spin.

Debt markets breaking down.
