U.S. stocks markets are off to a very strong start to the week, trading at highs with broad based strength, looking to erase last Friday and weekly declines. Big gains early for Technology (XLK<\/span>) and Energy (XLE<\/span>), both up over 1.5% while year-to-date winner Financials (XLF<\/span>) takes a breather. U.S. markets appear unphased by the increased tariff\/trading rhetoric between China and the US after President Donald Trump’s pledged to impose 25% tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum (which is boosting US<\/span> listed metals names in steel, aluminum sectors) and also his reported plans to make an announcement on reciprocal tariffs early this week. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned the EU is prepared to respond if US<\/span> tariffs target European goods. The US dollar rallied alongside gold, which rose to a record high above $2,930 an ounce after Trump’s comments on Sunday added to increasing uncertainty in global financial markets. News and market catalysts tend to heat up the rest of the week with Fed Chairman Powell testifying on Capitol Hill tomorrow and Wednesday discussing the economy and monetary policy, along with consumer price index (CPI<\/span>) inflation data on Wednesday 2\/12 and Retail Sales Friday 2\/14 and another busy week of corporate earnings. <\/p>\n
