"Substantial Cuts?"

Good Morning!

Futures deep in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on potential softening tariff policy between the US and China along with President Trump’s comments regarding not firing Fed Chairman Powell as the other usual topics like earnings, crypto, oil/gold and treasuries get a lot of attention. 
  
From Bloomberg
  • "Stocks jumped and bonds rose as a wave of relief swept through global markets after the Trump administration defused some of the tension that has rattled investors.
  • Wall Street was set to build on the biggest equity gains in two weeks, with S&P 500 futures climbing 2.5% after President Donald Trump allayed fears that he plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Optimism of easing US-China trade tensions added to the risk-on mood. 
  • Tesla Inc. rose about 7% in premarket trading after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said he will pull back from his work with the US government to focus on the electric-vehicle maker. Europe’s Stoxx 600 index marched 1.7% higher.
  • Treasuries mostly rallied as worries about threats to Powell’s position faded. A gauge of dollar strength steadied after rallying from a 16-month low. Bitcoin stormed above $90,000 for the first time since early March. Gold fell as demand for havens cooled. Oil extended its rebound."
