Trump is supposedly set to go easier than originally planned with the reciprocal tariffs to be announced next Wednesday, April 2. There are few details on this story, which provided the strong boost to risk sentiment today. Does this mean that Trump has "blinked" on the tariff issue? We assess where we are and what to watch for across asset classes, as well as highlighting incoming economic data and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo's John J. Hardy.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/3DLe6SW -
The US market found some more solid buying support than it has in a while, but not yet enough to turn the technical tide. We look at what forces could drive the market in either direction, but suspect that US under-performance relative to a hard charging Europe may be here to stay for a while. A thorough look at FX, gold and silver, important links, the macro calendar and more on today's pod, which features Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy on FX and Macro.

Today we unpack the historic paradigm shift as the EU and Germany have unveiled titanic fiscal initiatives that are altering the landscape for European bonds and the euro. Also, we look at whether there is a Trump put, and ponder whether Trump's moves on crypto and to supercharge money laundering risks are a feature as much as a bug.
