• Treasury futures remain near session lows, little react to release of FOMC minutes that note risks to increased inflation and elevated policy uncertainty.
• Focus remains squarely on Pres Trump tweet upping China tariff to 125% while granting 90 day pause for 75 other countries while lowering to reciprocal tariff level to 10%.

• March FOMC minutes notes officials saw risks to inflation and unemployment tilted to the upside amid elevated policy uncertainty, a combination that could lead to "difficult tradeoffs"
• "Participants assessed that uncertainty around the economic outlook had increased, with almost all participants viewing risks to inflation as tilted to the upside and risks to employment as tilted to the downside. Participants remarked that monetary policy was well positioned to address future developments; a restrictive policy could be maintained for longer if inflation were to remain elevated, and policy could be eased if labor market conditions were to deteriorate or economic activity were to weaken."
• Some officials noted the FOMC "may face difficult tradeoffs if inflation proved to be more persistent while the outlook for growth and employment weakened, and several said elevated inflation could prove to be more persistent than expected, the minutes said.
• On the decision to slow QT, only Governor Waller dissented but "several participants did not see a compelling case for slowing the pace of runoff at this meeting."
