[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The first trading day of the quarter on Tuesday was a nervy affair ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" on Wednesday, with markets struggling for clear direction as Trump's new trade barriers loomed into view. Stocks mostly rose but U.S. Treasury yields tumbled, while gold and the dollar broadly held steady.

Today's Key Market Moves. * The three main indexes on Wall Street close at fresh five-month lows. The S&P 500 is back in 'correction' territory, down more than 10% from its peak, and the Nasdaq is off 15% from its peak. Live Events * The dollar slides to a 5-mont...
