Trump did not specify which countries would be targeted, but markets worried about the potential inflationary effects of new tariffs. On the economic front, the US consumer sentiment index dropped to 67.8, marking a second straight month of declines, while one-year inflation expectations jumped to 4.3%. Non-farm payrolls showed 143K jobs were added, below expectations, though the unemployment rate ticked down to 4%.
