Markets are on hold ahead of President Trump’s big tariff announcement.
The S&P 500 hovered around the flatline Wednesday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond retreated for the fourth day in a row to 4.14%, on pace for its lowest close since October. Gold prices rallied, sending the precious metal toward another all-time high.
Trump is due to announce the contours of a sweeping tariff plan in a 4 p.m. ET Rose Garden address. He has declared April 2 “Liberation Day” for U.S. trade policy.
