Treasuries are rallying with the 10-year hitting its lowest level since December of last year at 4.31%.

The bond rally is being driven by comments made by President Trump that tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods are “on time” and “moving along very rapidly”. These comments were countered somewhat by an anonymous US official who stated that the taxes were still to be determined. This uncertainty around trade policy has given investors pause and has been the driver of the recent market volatility.
