Morning Juice – US Session Prep

Morning, Traders!
It is Tuesday the 1st of April, here are some things to look out for today.


Sentiment
US equity futures fluctuated between gains and losses, pointing to another volatile session on Wall Street as the arrival of tariffs loomed over markets.
Gold continued its winning streak.

S&P 500 contracts fell 0.2%, giving up earlier gains. Tesla gained approximately 3% in premarket trading.
The dollar remained steady, and 10-year Treasury yields fell three basis points.

Traders learnt that Trump will announce his reciprocal tariff plan at 3 PM on Wednesday at an event in the White House Rose Garden, but the extent of his levies remains unknown.
The uncertainty over whether the US president will take a lenient or harsher stance is making investors wary of risky stock bets and leading strategists to lower their estimates.
