U.S. equity index futures pulled back. While the drop looks significant in isolation—ES futures have fallen from above 5520 to around 5450 as I write—it’s worth remembering that this index surged from below 5000 just over 12 hours ago.
Trump’s rollback has lowered the average effective tariff rate from 27% to 24%. While that’s a move in the right direction, it remains at an anti-growth level. This doesn’t bode well for inflation or risk assets going forward. The three-month delay in implementing the new tariffs might also discourage businesses from committing to new investment or capex. Things are less bad—but not significantly better. While de-escalation would be welcomed, there’s been no sign of that from either China or Trump during today’s session.
On the data front, the key release was further evidence of ongoing deflation in China.
