📊 Tariff Pause Sparks Risk On Bounce

Good Morning Investors,

The immediate catalyst was a pause in tariff threats tied to Europe and Greenland, which eased near term trade anxiety and sparked buying interest. While markets welcomed the framework announcement, the policy backdrop remains fluid. Political and trade related headlines continue to inject uncertainty, raising the likelihood of sharp swings as sentiment reacts quickly to new information.

Sector leadership favored cyclical and tech adjacent areas. Semiconductor and biotechnology groups posted strong gains, alongside a notable move higher in energy, supporting strength in chip suppliers, life sciences, and energy related names.

The broader message is one of improving momentum, but selectivity remains important. Policy driven rallies can reverse quickly, making discipline and focus on quality balance sheets and clear earnings visibility essential as volatility remains elevated.
