We’re starting the day on a great note:
The Padres won last night,
The market is up nearly 600 points,
And I’m heading to the game tonight—so here’s hoping the good streak continues!
What does baseball have to do with the market? Nothing at all—but it's nice when everything feels like it's going our way.
Market Drivers This Morning
The big boost today comes from news that President Trump has delayed the 50% tariffs on the European Union.
Here’s what happened:
The tariff announcement sparked a phone call between Trump and the President of the EU.
They’ve agreed to negotiate in good faith,
And the tariffs have been postponed until July 9th.
Markets are reacting very positively to this, especially after last week’s downturn that was largely driven by tariff fears.
What to Watch This Week
It’s a shorter week, but we do have two important events coming up:
Thursday: Most of the Federal Reserve governors are speaking, which may give us insight into their outlook ahead of the June meeting.
Friday: We get a key inflation report—the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index, which is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.
It’s expected to rise 0.1%.
If the number comes in benign, we could hear more dovish tones from the Fed.
Interest Rates & Technical Levels
The 10-year Treasury yield is down slightly today, currently around 4.45%.
If momentum continues, we could see the Dow break above 42,600, which I think is a key resistance level to watch.
That’s your update for today. Enjoy the short week—and let’s hope the Padres keep winning!

🛠️ What’s Driving the Market?
The big mover this morning is news that President Trump has postponed the proposed 50% tariffs on the European Union. After announcing the tariffs, he received a call from the EU president, and they agreed to negotiate in good faith. Tariffs are now delayed until July 9th.
Markets, which were rattled last week by trade concerns, are responding very positively to the pause in tensions.
📅 What to Watch This Week
It’s a shortened week, but two major items are on the radar:
🔊 Thursday – Fed Governor Speeches
We’ll hear from multiple Fed officials, which may shed light on their thinking ahead of the June policy meeting. Markets are listening closely for any hints about rate cuts or shifts in tone.
💹 Friday – PCE Inflation Index
The Personal Consumption Expenditures Index—the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation—drops Friday. It’s expected to be up 0.1%.
A “cool” number may lead to more dovish Fed talk.
📉 Interest Rates & Market Levels
The 10-year Treasury yield dipped to 4.45%, offering some relief for interest-sensitive sectors.
The Dow is eyeing 42,600 — a potential breakout level if momentum holds.
⚾ Padres, Positivity & Planning
The Padres are on a winning streak, the market’s off to a hot start, and I’m heading to the game tonight. Let’s keep the good vibes rolling!
