U.S. President Donald Trump pushed pause on the sweeping “ Liberation Day ” tariffs he had placed on more than 50 countries earlier in the month .

Stocks had plunged in response to the original plan, spooking investors and Wall Street.

Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, and rising yields are an indication that the underlying instrument is considered riskier.

Yields pulled back some after Trump agreed to pause the most extreme tariffs for 90 days .

But a baseline tariff of 10 per cent remains in place, so yields remain elevated.

This prompted the Fed to step in, and it has indicated it will do so again if things get disorderly”.
