There was a singular theme in trading today and it was optimism that Trump could delay planned tariffs both due at midnight New York time, both the reciprocal ones on the broader world and the extra 50% on China. US equities opened strongly and that was followed by commodity currencies and some moderate yen selling.

At the same time, there were no indications of a pause on broader reciprocal tariffs despite Trump and other officials talking about negotiations. The gameplan appears to negotiate trade deals with those tariff rates in place, based on the comments from various officials. That could obviously change but we now perilously close to the deadline.

The euro and pound were better-behaved as they chopped sideways in 50-75 pip ranges while the yen held a broad bid.

Overall, the game right now is to wait until midnight and go from there. If there is no help, we could have an ugly day on Wednesday.
