Swiss National Bank Governing Council Member Tschudin: Exchange rate reaction is difficult to predict.German Chancellor Scholz: (Reciprocal tariffs) would be a serious economic mistake.German Chancellor Schulz: Complex supply chains cannot be simply cut off.German Chancellor Scholz: Even if we dont respond, tariffs will have an impact on the US economy.On April 3, the final value of the UKs March services PMI showed that activity and new orders in the UKs dominant services sector increased last month, but concerns about rising employment costs, US tariffs and a weaker economic outlook weighed on the outlook. S&P Global said rising business activity was mainly "attributable to improved order volume." New export orders rose for the first time in four months, with the fastest growth since October 2024, mainly due to a rebound in European demand, although some respondents saw weak US demand. But Tim Moore, head of economics at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said companies are worried about rising wages and the impact of Trumps tariff agenda. Service providers reported a range of factors that constrained growth, including tight household budgets, risk aversion among corporate clients and rising geopolitical uncertainty. Service companies also remained cautious about the near-term outlook, with optimism remaining at its lowest level in the past two years.

Short SPX: Top Trade Opportunities

It's possible that the shot across the bow is to blame. The rally, which started in late March, will be closely monitored since it might be a "sucker's rally" rather than a relief rally. If this is the case, Q2 is likely to see a lower high.


Price isn't expected to rise much over 4600, if at all. A rally that extends beyond that point may still fail as a double-top. The market normally does not retrace more than 60-70 percent of the slide off the record high to reach the classic topping sequence of a high, major drop, lower-high before the massive bear market sell-off.

It may take some time for the downward trend to become an outright drop. The longer it goes on, the bigger the sell-off is going to be. It's preferable for markets to have fast, painful drops rather than long topping cycles that finally lead to quick selling.


This might be a new leg higher to a new record high, but the background for a massive top seems to be as strong as it has been in recent history. If this is the case, the whole year should be turbulent, providing traders with plenty of possibilities.
