"Wrangle On"

From Bloomberg

"US equity futures retreated slightly after the S&P 500 notched its best quarter since 2023, as investors monitor progress on trade talks and wrangling in Washington over President Donald Trump’s tax bill.
Contracts for the US benchmark slipped 0.2% following two successive closes at all-time highs. European stocks also fell. Tesla Inc. weakened more than 4% in premarket trading after Trump again threatened to withdraw subsidies from Elon Musk’s companies.
Stock bulls have seized control of a market that was rattled by Trump’s trade overhaul, a war in the Middle East and persistent uncertainty over growth and inflation. Yet unpredictability persists, with US trade talks racing toward a July 9 deadline and Trump pushing to finalize a budget that’s projected to add more than $3 trillion to the US deficit over the next decade.
“We’ve had a strong quarter, but there’s still too much on the table,” said Haris Khurshid, chief investment officer at Karobaar Capital. “If the trade talks drag or the tax bill stalls, we’ll see how much conviction these bulls really have.”"
