Traders Pause as Markets Brace for Trump’s Tariff Decision

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the major currencies:

US Dollar        1.4220-1.4430

Euro                 1.5360-1.5580

Sterling            1.8430-1.8640

 

WTI Oil (opening level) $71.03

The CAD/USD is opening at 1.4320 ( 0.6983 )

The move yesterday on all commodity currencies stalled overnight as traders wait on the sidelines ahead of the Trump tariff announcement later today.

If traders are able to take the CAD to 1.4235 -and then to 1.4200- the 100 day moving average will be broken and a bearish sentiment may development. If not, then 1.4400 will be reclaimed on its way to 1.4550.

Let's see what the day / news delivers.

Headlines

·    Two US House of Representative seats remained in Republican hands after special elections to replace the two Republicans that were nominated for Trump administration positions, although the margin of victory fell by about half in both elections to 16-17 points from 33-34 points in the November elections, suggesting US President Trump is losing some of the middle ground.

·    For today’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcements in a Rose Garden event scheduled for today at 2000 GMT, US President Trump is considering three tariff strategies: a blanket 20% on all trading partners, tiered rates, and country-specific rates, with a focus on the latter. Additional tariffs are likely on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, a lifting of fentanyl-related tariffs for Canada and Mexico, and imposing secondary tariffs on Venezuela. Put together, the tariffs could exceed the scope of the infamous 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs.

·    US February JOLTS Job openings dropped 194,000 to 7.568 million in February 2025, missing the 7.63 million forecast. Declines occurred in retail trade, finance and insurance, health care and social assistance, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing.

·    The March US ISM Manufacturing PMI came in lower than expected at 49 vs 49.5 expected while ISM manufacturing prices surged to 69.4, above expectations of 64.6. The report indicated that “price growth accelerated due to tariffs, causing new order placement backlogs, supplier delivery slowdowns and manufacturing inventory growth.

Key Points

·    Equities: Tech leads gains; Trump tariff speech looms; EU rebounds but opens lower

·    Volatility: VIX dips ahead of Trump’s speech; traders cautious; gold, sector options in play

·    Digital Assets: BTC -1.2%; crypto stocks up; Circle IPO filed; ETH fee revenue hits low

·    Currencies: Pro-cyclical currencies bounce back with risk sentiment yesterday as USD sideways ahead of today’s US tariff announcement barrage

·    Fixed Income: Credit spreads on high yield debt have widened dramatically over last week

·    Commodities: Gold traders ponder how much has been priced in. Strong day for softs

·    Macro events: US Mar. ADP Employment Change, US “Liberation Day” Trump tariff announcements

Back in February, I lost around $170,000 to a cryptocurrency investment scam. It was an incredibly painful experience, and for a while, I truly believed the money was gone for good. I felt hopeless and honestly didn’t know where to turn. Then I came across DARKEYES CYBERSECURITY COMPANY , and things started to change. From the moment I contacted them, they were kind, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They took the time to understand my situation and kept me in the loop every step of the way. To my surprise and relief, they were actually able to recover my funds. I can’t explain the feeling — it was like a huge weight had been lifted. They didn’t just get my money back; they gave me back my peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful for their help, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone who’s gone through something similar. If you’ve been scammed or know someone who has, reach out to DARKEYES. They’re the real deal. You can contact them on WhatsApp at +1 (470) 401‑8548 or by email at [Darkeyes@fastservice.com]

MOST SUCCESSFUL BITCOIN RECOVERY EXPERTFOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. I have been hearing about Forexltc, a cryptocurrency platform based in North Dakota, for some time. My curiosity was piqued when one of their agents reached out to me, presenting the platform as a promising opportunity in the crypto trading space with excellent prospects for growth. Intrigued by their pitch, I engaged in several more calls and persuasive conversations, ultimately deciding to give it a try. I made an initial investment of $213,000 in cryptocurrency, believing it was a sound decision that would help grow my digital assets. However, my initial excitement quickly turned into frustration as I began to experience consistent trading losses. Determined to turn things around, I deposited an additional $9,000 in crypto after a few weeks, hoping this would help recover my losses. Despite my efforts and additional investments, the losses continued, leaving me in a precarious financial position. I felt trapped in a cycle of despair, questioning my decision to invest in Forexltc. I saw a glimmer of hope when I was assigned to a new account manager referred to as the "fourth account manager." This individual seemed to have a better grasp of the cryptocurrency market and guided me to make some profitable trades. I felt a sense of relief, thinking my investment was finally paying off. However, just as I was about to celebrate my gains, an unexpected problem arose: I was locked out of my account. This was not a minor inconvenience; I was completely shut out of my funds and access to my trading portfolio. I tried reaching out to the support team at Fxleader, but my efforts were met with silence. My account was essentially inaccessible, and I was left in the dark about the status of my cryptocurrency. Feeling frustrated and desperate, I sought help from external sources. After conducting some research, I discovered FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, a service specializing in financial recovery. I reached out to them and explained my predicament. The team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY was prompt and working diligently to help me retrieve my funds from Forexltc. They guided me through the recovery process, providing support and expertise every step of the way. One Friday morning, they asked for my Bitcoin address to deposit the cryptocurrency I had recovered. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to recover all of my cryptocurrency investments.

After losing $450,000 worth of Bitcoin to a scam, I felt completely defeated. I tried several recovery companies over the course of many months, but none delivered results—most only added to my frustration and hopelessness. Then I found Swift Assets Recovery, and everything changed. From the beginning, their team showed genuine professionalism, transparency, and a clear understanding of how crypto scams operate. Unlike the others, they didn’t make empty promises—they took action. They worked tirelessly, kept me informed at every stage, and, most importantly, they succeeded in recovering my stolen Bitcoin. I can’t express how grateful I am for their help. Swift Assets Recovery restored not only my funds but my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed and feel like you’ve run out of options, don’t give up—Swift Assets Recovery truly delivers.

At this point in life, bad situation emerge for us to learn our mistakes and figure out what next is to be done. I'm really delighted I eventually found a real competent hacker after been spammed by several sham hackers I followed their Bogus recommendation. Never knew that my wife Had a son out of wedlock without informing me about it for almost 12years of our relationship until I noticed she picks strange calls on her phone and send some money to strange man. As much as it is inappropriate to spy on one's spouse phone it's also necessary to be sure that your relationship is in perfect shape. All my gratitude goes to this Genuine GeniusHacker-:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com who got to clone/hack her phone completely to the extent that I had a clone of her phone and could read all her whatsapp & amp;Facebook message, call logs text message and GPS to know where and what she is always up to. I'm really grateful for this great experience, it really helped me find out the truth about my marriage. They are also specialize on hacking and recovery of lost funds, kindly send a message if you've experience any of these issues..Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31657.4.46.248.

I was able to reclaim my lost Bitcoin assets worth of $480,99 which i had lost to the scam company known as Capitalix fx a scam company pretending to be an investment platform which alot of people including myself have lost their funds to, sadly not all would be fortunate enough to retrieve back their funds like I did but if you’re reading this today then you're already a step closer towards regaining your lost digital assets, Mr. James successfully retrieved back my funds in less than of 48hours after I sought for their help to get back my funds. This experience has taught me the importance of carrying out my due diligence before embracing any financial opportunity presented to me and while risk taking may be a part of the journey, some risks are not worth taking and never again will I involve myself with any online financial investment. It's only right that we seek for external intervention and support of a higher knowledge system when it comes to digital assets recovery, Get in contact today with the team to get started on Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what'sapp +3165744...6248.
