The market is increasingly calling the bluff on tariffs, even before they're announced.

The S&P 500 is now 38 points higher or +0.6% with the Nasdaq even stronger up 1.0%.
It's a similar story in the FX market as the US dollar is at the lows of the day across the board. The euro is up 58 pips while the pound is up 93, both at session highs.
