Intro

A volatile morning for stocks after a report that the White House was contemplating a 90-day pause on tariffs – a report that’s now been confirmed as “fake news” by the administration… Sara Eisen, David Faber, Carl Quintanilla broke down the latest swings and returned to Washington for fresh color throughout the hour. Why longtime market vet and Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel is calling tariffs “the worst policy mistake in 95 years” – plus, Rockefeller’s Ruchir Sharma, fresh off an op-ed arguing the Federal Reserve shouldn’t rescue markets here. 

Also in focus: big weakness in big tech – the worst performing sector on the year, as all of the Mag-7 sits in correction territory… Wedbush’s Dan Ives joined the team to breakdown the move, and his choice to cut estimates on Apple & Tesla on tariff concerns.
