Digital Assets: Bitcoin $93,620, Ethereum $3,307, liquidations $500M+

Currencies: USD surges on a story suggesting sweeping Trump tariffs, GBP weaker as UK yields rise sharply.

Commodities: Gold surges past line of resistance now at USD 2672, crude futures hit highs then retreat on mixed demand signals.

Fixed Income: US treasury yields fall back after a charge higher on fresh Trump tariff concerns.

GBP suffered a broad drubbing, with GBPUSD hitting a new low at 1.2238, as UK yields rose sharply, suggesting a stagflationary outlook for the country.

It is really quite dramatic to see it lose so much, so quickly.
