Was Liberation Day All Hot Air

April has seen global markets bounce all over the place.

Stock markets have caught a cold and the Dollar has plunged.

Dollar backed assets and their associated currencies have also taken a bath.

.....however a corner may have been turned in this last week.

Whilst most currencies and assets are still way off where they were, there's been a rebound back towards pre "Liberation Day" levels.

This includes the Pound reasserting itself versus the Euro, but losing ground versus the Dollar and the Australian Dollar.

So what's ahead?

Looking at economic commentary, the answer is that nobody really knows.

A 90 day pause in proceedings is being eaten away, and there's still much sabre rattling between the US and China.

But, at time of writing, the almost daily shifts and statements from the White House seemed to have calmed down.

From a business perspective the UK has been releasing less promising data this week, so eyes will be on the Chancellors visit to the US and her meeting with the US Treasury Secretary.
