Trump was unusually quiet and so were the leaks around the war.<\/p>\n<p>On the weekend, we learned that Iran had delivered some proposals about ending the war, then talking about the nuclear program. Virtually all the reports say it&#8217;s unlikely to be accepted by the US and Trump today met in the Situation Room with his security team. So far, we haven&#8217;t heard from him but the White House did say there were discussions and teased we could be hearing from Trump.<\/p>\n<p>So we wait to see what he will do next as US forces amass in the Middle East. Iran has taken a tough line publicly but we don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening behind the scenes and the overall market is relatively sanguine with the tech market virtually indifferent as it continues to bid up chip names on AI enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>The oil market chopped higher but remained within the range of last Thursday-Friday while yields grinded higher.<\/p>\n<p>In FX, we await the Bank of Japan decision. USD\/JPY slipped in Asia and Europe but recovered in the US on broader USD selling. The commodity currencies were well bid as they&#8217;re increasingly acting like safe havens in the war. The Canadian sovereign wealth announcement appeared to be well received but tomorrow&#8217;s budget update was teased by Carney as something Canadians would like (i.e. giveaways). <\/p>\n<p>In terms of names, Micron, Nvidia, Intel, Palo Alto Networks and healthcare names were among the leaders. Dominoes Pizza and Dollar Tree were the S&amp;P 500 laggards.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Fed April manufacturing index -2.3 vs -0.2 prior Canada to set up $25 bilion sovereign wealth fund Iran says it&#8217;s looking into the US request for negotiations US sells 5-year notes at 3.955% vs 3.960% WI A big reason why US stocks have been so strong this year: Earnings are growing Markets: S&amp;P 500 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429908\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
