• Crude oil loses most since July 2022 as tariffs, OPEC output hike make 'perfect bearish cocktail'

  Crude oil fell sharply on Thursday to reach a pullback low of $66.17, before signs of support were seen. That low was a 17-day low, meaning that the decline took out the lows of the prior 16 days with little hesitation. Crude oil fell for most of Thursday’s session until a minor bounce started heading towards the close for the day.
  
  Nonetheless, at the time of this writing, sellers remain in control with crude oil continuing to trade in the lower third of the day’s price range. This very bearish behavior triggered a bearish reversal on the weekly chart and established a bearish outside week. A weekly close tomorrow, below last week’s low of $68.25, would confirm the bearish weekly signal.

• S&P 500 Plunges Over 3% as Markets Reel From Shock of Trump’s Tariffs
  Wall Street opened sharply lower on Thursday, following...

  Wall Street opened sharply lower on Thursday, following a slump in global markets, after President Trump announced a major round of tariffs on U.S. imports. The world’s biggest economies reacted swiftly to the new levies, which significantly escalated trade tensions with the United States, and some countries warned of retaliation.

  
  

  For weeks, Mr. Trump said he would impose “reciprocal tariffs” on allies and adversaries. Still, the tariffs announced on Wednesday were far higher than experts had expected, likely driving up prices for American consumers and manufacturers.

  
  Investors flocked to the safety of government bonds as stocks plummeted this morning, pushing up prices and lowering yields, reflecting the interest rate the government pays to borrow from investors. The 10-year yield, which underpins interest rates on things like mortgages and some business loans, is now close to 4 percent, down from nearly 4.8 percent in January.
