quote:

In a global trade war that has upended financial markets and set off a scramble among policymakers to guard their economies, Trump in April announced a 10% base tariff rate and additional amounts for most countries, some ranging as high as 50%.

However, all but the 10% base rate were subsequently suspended for 90 days to allow more time for negotiations to secure deals.

That period ends on July 9, although Trump early on Friday said the tariffs could be even higher — ranging up to 70% — with most set to go into effect August 1.

“I signed some letters and they’ll go out on Monday, probably twelve,” Trump said, when asked about his plans on the tariff front. “Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs.”

I would think pretty big down turn if any of the letters reflect the original reciprocal rate.

That being said only 12 letters, probably means they aren't very serious

That's fair especially if one of those countries is China that supposedly has a deal that has not really been shared.

I think the general consensus is that there is currently zero finalized deals

The reprieve probably contributed to there not being more finalized deals.

4 I can think of would be India, Canada, Japan and, the EU.
I think some uncertainty will cool the markets off for awhile but don't see a major selloff based on tariffs unless you get some ridiculous numbers that just shut trade down completely.

This is such a waste of everyone’s time until the SCOTUS makes their decision - which will likely go against the Trump Admin
