Summary
US equities opened powerfully lower, with the market upset with the (Wednesday AH) Trump tariff announcement. The SPX printed 5415, with a vain bounce to 5483. The late afternoon saw a new cycle low of 5390, and settling at 5396. On any basis... pretty horrific, but then... it was a Thursday.
Volatility spiked, the VIX settling +39.6% to 30.02... the highest since August 2024.
