The mood was challenged early in the day on a Washington Post report saying the White House was considering a broad, 20% tariff. That had stock futures lower, Treasury yields down 10 bps across the curve and USD/JPY challenging 149.00. Economic data wasn't much help as the ISM manufacturing numbers slid and prices paid were higher. JOLTS also edged lower.
Strong gains were posted by the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso in a sign of optimism about tariffs. USD/CAD fell 80 pips on the day to 1.4301 and fell more than a full cent from early US trade.
Wednesday is a big day for markets so we will be strapped in and looking for hints ahead of the 4 pm ET announcement.
