President Trump's Tariff Pivot; Global Markets React

Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition

On today's podcast:
1) President Donald Trump’s dramatic U-turn on tariff threats has isolated China as the primary target of his trade offensive, significantly narrowing Beijing’s options for immediate de-escalation.

2) European stocks opened sharply higher, tracking Wall Street’s late-Wednesday rally, after President Donald Trump paused most of his sweeping tariff hikes. US equity futures fell, however, suggesting the euphoria is already dissipating. 

3) Five gut-wrenching days after Donald Trump’s America-versus-the-world trade war threw stock and bond markets around the world into disarray, he backpedaled and, in the process, pulled the financial system back from the brink.
