market reaction in us at least is that futures wall street stock futures are down ahead of the bell the dollar is also down uh treasury market a little bit more stable but gold prices are up so you know very much reflecting the uncertainty and remember u.s stocks had rallied on the Supreme Court decision on Friday, but now have scaled that back as we face another sweep of new tariffs.
Those tariffs will only last 150 days. We don't know what happens after that. It probably goes to congressional approval. And of course, the midterm elections take on a whole new importance in that regard. Elsewhere, Asian markets did okay. They're facing probably less tariffs now than they were in the previous regime.
