U.S. President Donald Trump delayed 50% tariffs on the European Union until July 9, following a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Despite initial concerns, investors are taking Trump's tariff announcements with a 'pinch of salt' as major U.S. and European stock indexes showed a milder reaction compared to previous announcements. Trump's tax bill, estimated to add $2.3 trillion to the federal deficit, caused Treasury yields to jump and markets to drop. Nvidia's earnings announcement and the U.S. personal consumption expenditure index are expected to influence investor sentiment.
