A bullish trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains intact. Thursday’s initial gains delivered a print above 5993.50, the May 20 high and a bull trigger. The break highlights a resumption of the uptrend and maintains a price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. 6000.00 has been pierced, an extension would open 6057.00 next, the Mar 3 high. Key support lies at 5742.22, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to highlight a reversal.

WHITE HOUSE: Trump Calls For Patience On Tariffs, Economy & Stock Market

Apr-30 13:26

US President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social: "This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s. I didn’t take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden “Overhang.” This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!"

  • The claim that the volatility seen in financial markets in recent weeks is due to an 'overhang' from the last presidency, rather than Trump's trade tariffs, may be seen as an indicator that the president is more inclined to maintain tariffs as is (or reintroduce 'reciprocal' tariffs once the 90 day exempting has expired) rather than work towards swift trade deals.
  • In recent days there appears to have been progress, at least with some key trading partners, towards the finalisation of agreements that could see tariffs (at least 'reciprocal' if not the baseline 10%) lifted. See the US Daily Brief for more details.
