About this episode

Overseas stock markets and U.S. stock index futures are showing an upward move in prices today, and volatility is down in sharp contrast to yesterday morning. Yesterday’s rollercoaster ride resulted from false information about a potential tariff pause. Some $2.5 trillion went in and out of stocks, according to the Wall Street Journal — all in about a half hour. Also, U.S.-China trade tensions are escalating, and low oil prices may thwart Trump’s domestic oil production goals.
