Of course, all will be awaiting the latest pronouncements from President Trump on tariffs and other immediately market-sensitive matters. On Friday, the president added imported autos to the list of items he plans to tax starting on April 2. He did not provide further details on that one. That followed his directive to his staff on Thursday to propose new tariffs to impose on imports from other countries that would respond to their their tariffs, taxes, and other trade actions the president considered unfair. Markets reacted with relief on Thursday that the so-called reciprocal tariffs would also not take effect until April.
