That broad-based 10% tariffs would be announced today was old news.

So what's changed enough to roil futures?

this showed he does not … they thought there would be far less and fewer

You know pundits, so take it for what it's worth (very little), but the experts and pundits on Bloomberg Radio attribute this to the fact there will be no exemptions or carve-outs for particular sectors or companies.

By tomorrow morning, there might be a more thoughtful explanation, but that's it for now.

yet here we are. Not everyone thinks the way liberals do, apparently. Some thought he might be bluffing?

Think of all those factories the billionaires will build 20 years? from now!!!

Very little human presence anywhere to be seen in them.

Any manual labor would be 13.50/hr with zero bennies. Reaganomics redux. No thanks

We hear every day from our member companies—of every size and industry, across nearly every state—that they’re facing unprecedented challenges trying to find enough workers to fill open jobs. Right now, the latest data shows that we have 8 million job openings in the U.S. but only 6.8 million unemployed workers.

futures activity. As I type this they are down 0.54% and down 1.62% respectively.

https://www.Investing.com

Next down the list is "Dow Jones" (up 0.56% for the day) and "S&P 500" (up 0.67% for the day) and that gives its closing price for the day (April 2 at 4 PM EDT).

As for the graphs, the times are apparently GMT (Subtract 4 from the GMT times to get EDT).
And the dates are dd/mm, e.g. 02/04 for April 2.

Or on the left 2/3, click on Indices Futures for the exact times of the last readings

just said the dollar lost something something while the Orange Shitbird was yapping.

Meanwhile, Trump slapped a 24% reciprocal tariff on Japanese goods. And the Nikkei is way down. He's really starting to piss people off here in Japan. When you piss off laid-back countries like Japan and Canada, you're definitely doing something wrong

Clearly.

Will be charged?

God help our bank accounts!

Except for momo traders, market makers are still pretty traditional.

Edited to properly name market weirdos.

It's true, everything Trump touches dies. Now it's our turn and there's no one left to save us. But us.

We're not going to like how it's done.

I wonder who? The Uglyarchs have control of the system. They NEVER lose money unless they do stupid shit (Edolph!). Every other day SOMEBODY jerks-off the stock market and there's a sell-off (and a buy-up) and then another jerk and rinse-and-repeat. This is what it's like to lay down with a Boa Constrictor. Buy Klepto! Yeah! That's It!!!!! (They own that, too.)

with that headline?
