Macro Viewpoint
Early Tuesday, U.S. stock index futures edged mostly lower, following a strong rally on Wall Street that pushed major indexes to two-week highs.
Yesterday, we saw a full risk-on rally with nearly 85% of the stocks finishing higher, given a combination of short-squeezing (High Short Interest +5.2%) and crowded longs/Mag 7 being brought back after weeks of selloff.
Tariffs have been a key focus this week, with markets reacting positively on Monday to indications that trade sanctions may not be as broad as initially feared.
However, investors remain cautious as they brace for potential inflationary pressures and slowing economic growth, particularly with the Trump administration set to impose reciprocal tariffs on April 2.
