Europe's Improving Setup (Save For the Tariff-Threat), Volatility, Uncertainty, Today's Technical Setup, yada yada (video)

Note: I recorded the video below on Tuesday 3/4, 30 minutes before the equity market close... I mentioned that commentary from the treasury secretary suggested that the stock market was not an immediate concern with regard to tariff policy(ies), and that, while I believe there is a market-induced pain-point that may inspire a different, more market-friendly narrative, it appears that we're not near there yet.

Well, as I type, 3:05pm PT, the following news headline hit the wires, and markets are liking it after hours:

"Commerce's Lutnick Suggests Possible Compromise on Trump Tariffs"

Although this is at odds with what the President said just a little earlier on Tuesday about hitting Canada even harder after Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of US goods.

Time will tell...
