“They Forgot to Protect Our Industries With TARIFFS!” — Does a Trump Trade War 2.0 Loom?

There have been renewed talks about whether tariffs could send us into another phase of trade wars. And while it’s up for debate as to whether a trade war 2.0, so to speak, has already arrived, I do think that investors shouldn’t panic over concerns that further tariffs will further fan the flame that is ... “They Forgot to Protect Our Industries With TARIFFS!” — Does a Trump Trade War 2.0 Loom?

Oil Prices Slide On U.S.-Iran Signing, But Fed Rate-Hike Odds Surge

Oil prices continued tumbling on Thursday after President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a memorandum of understanding to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The deal starts a 60-day negotiation period centered on Iran's nuclear program. It requires the U.S. to lift its blockade of Iran's ports, free up frozen Iranian funds, waive sanctions of Iranian oil sales and prevail upon Israel to cease military operations in Lebanon.

Futures markets pointed higher ahead of the open, with S&P 500 E-mini contracts up 0.72% and Nasdaq 100 E-mini futures rising 1.36%, according to Reuters, as investors partly unwound Wednesday's sharp selloff. The S&P 500 lost 1.21% on Wednesday to close at 7,420.10 and the Nasdaq fell 1.34% to 26,021.66 after the Federal Reserve held rates at 3.75% but nine officials projected at least one hike by year-end, stripping away prior language that had flagged likely cuts.

Review & Preview: Blame It on the Fed

Stocks tumbled on Wednesday after Kevin Warsh’s first press conference as chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Interest rate increases are one of Wall Street’s concerns, and those seem to be on the table, potentially as soon as this fall, opines Capital Economics’ Chief North America Economist Stephen Brown.
