We are back to business after the Easter holidays and the playbook hasn't changed in the markets with US assets getting sold and gold rallying to new highs almost everyday.

On the data front, we don't have anything of note today other than a couple of low tier releases that won't move the market anyway as the focus remains on tariff negotiations.

Negotiations that seem to be going too slowly. The market's patience is getting tested a lot and at some point the pessimism will prevail. As always, keep an eye on Trump's posts on his social and tariff related headlines throughout the day.
