There's something deeply funny about the 'cautious optimism' of the markets on this given that the moment these guys delayed the announcement to 4pm, you've got to know you aren't going to like what they're going to say.

As we know from history, when great generals were absolutely confident that they could achieve decisive victory and total success, they rushed to start the battle just before sunset, when both sides would be forced to disengage.

If the news was, "actually, we have a reasonable program of targeted tariffs" they'd tell you that at noon. The only reason you put an announcement after markets close is to not have the live stock ticker running into the floor as you speak.

They did that specifically just to avoid a visual of Trump talking about all the super cool tariffs he's doing while the markets all immediately turn red in real time.
