Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Trump paused most tariffs and the S&P 500 had its best day since 2008. Hope you bought the dip.
Then what the heck is going on in the bond market that has investors so spooked? It's Thursday, April 10th. Let's ride.
Who among us hasn't left something valuable in an Uber? Maybe it was your phone or AirPods that you had to scramble to recover. Others leave a lot weirder things behind. Uber just released its lost and found index for 2025, which lists the most unique items riders left in cars. They include a mannequin head with human hair, a chainsaw, a live pet turtle. 10 live lobsters, a Viking drinking horn, a taxidermied rabbit, and someone's divorce papers. Toby, kind of wish I shared a ride with a person drinking from the Viking horn.
I love this report every single year. It also goes through the most forgetful cities. Surprise, surprise. New York, New York is number one. Also, they kind of note some trends that emerge over the year. One big one was that a lot of people were leaving Nintendo Switches behind. They recorded over 70 instances of that. So maybe Nintendo was looking at those figures and saying, We got to update the console because everyone's just leaving them behind. And then also, here's one for you astrology lovers out there. During Mercury's April 2024 retrograde, lost items did spike. Over 7,000 riders lost items on April 5th alone. So if you're an astrology believer, look no further than Uber's lost and found report to justify your bullies. Now a word from our sponsor, TaxAct.
Neil, can I ask a dumb question? You've never let that stop you before. Fire away. Am I allowed to do my taxes at night?
Okay, that is a dumb question.
It's just every time I open a W-2 after 8 p.m., it feels like I'm summoning something dark and dangerous.
Why did Trump pause tariffs for 90 days?
Well, Tax Act is available 24-7, so summon away. It's built for whenever you want to file day, night, 3 a.m. panic session. Doesn't matter. What if I hit a wall emotionally or numerically? They've still got you. TaxAct's Expert Assist gives you access to real tax pros who can help with the tricky stuff no matter the time.
That actually sounds kind of comforting. Do they make chamomile tea, too? That is two strikes, Toby.
One more bad question, you're out of here.
Oh, I'm just going to keep swinging. TaxAct makes it easy to file on your own terms with help when you need it and peace of mind when you're done. Just don't forget, file by April 15th at TaxAct.com. President Trump checked beneath his couch cushions, found his universal tariff remote, and hit the pause button yesterday, halting his disruptive trade agenda and giving a shaking global economy a brief moment of respite. Just afternoon, the president announced that reciprocal tariffs on countries who hadn't retaliated against his levies would be paused for 90 days to allow for negotiations. Who did that apply to? Literally every country except China. Under the updated trade plan, tariffs on global imports were lowered to just 10% across the board, while levies on China were raised to 125% effective immediately due to what Trump called a lack of respect that China has shown to the world's markets. Earlier in the day, Beijing said it was hiking its own retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.
to 84% from 34%. Despite the still frosty relationship with China, all three major indexes exploded higher after the announcement. The S&P 500 leapt by 9% to notch its ninth best day in history. Apple traded like a meme stock and had its best day since 1998, while the Magnificent 7 added over a trillion dollars in market cap.
