US TSYS: Opens Stronger After US Equity Futures Drop On Trump Tariff

US TSYS

TYH5 has re-opened at 108-18, +0-03 from NY closing levels. 

  • US stock futures have re-opened lower ahead of key earnings week, with the S&P 500 down ~0.50% and the Nasdaq down ~1%.
  • “In a social media post on Sunday, Trump said he ordered an emergency 25% tariff on all Colombian goods coming into the US, which will be raised to 50% in a week. Oil, gold, coffee and flowers top the list of exports, according to Colombia’s  tax authorities.” (per BBG)
  • On Friday, US tsys finished mildly stronger.
  • Surprisingly, the S&P Global US composite PMI fell in the January flash, showing its lowest since April, after 55.4 in December, which marked a 32-month high.
  • However, firms' expectations of output over the coming year remain strong looking at policies under the second Trump administration. Inflationary pressures saw a four-month high which helped limit the dovish reaction from the headline services miss.
  • Meanwhile, U.Mich long-run inflation expectations were trimmed in the final January release from what had been a particularly sharp increase to the highest since 2008. 3.2% is still elevated though, having twice in the past three months exceeded what had been a typical 2.9-3.1% range since mid-2021.
  • Focus this week is the FOMC policy announcement on Wednesday.
