Volatility Grips Wall Street Ahead of Trump's Tariff Rollout
Good morning. Renewed volatility grips markets in the run-up to Donald Trump's tariff rollout. France's far-right leader is barred from running for office. And Hong Kong's Kai Tak stadium left some rugby fans with empty stomachs. Listen to the day's top stories.
The S&P 500 settled higher to cap a day of wild swings amid confirmation that President Donald Trump will announce his 'country-based' tariffs plan on April 2. The Nasdaq 100 closed about flat as it marked its worst quarter in nearly three years. ' Frustration and fatigue ' with no clear playbook on how to proceed best summarizes this trading environment, according to Integrity Asset Management's Joe Gilbert.

Trump says he's found a buyer for TikTok
A group of 'very wealthy people' is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,' Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. 'I think I'll need probably China's approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.' Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time). Trump has repeatedly delayed a bill forcing owner ByteDance to sell the app or see it banned in the United States. In January, he said his 'initial thought' was to create 'a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership.' He's also said he was open to allies Larry Ellison or Elon Musk buying the app, although Musk seems like a less likely candidate now.

For a second year, Trump dominated the docket, culminating with the conservative majority handing the president a major win by making it more difficult for lower-court judges to halt his policies nationwide, including the president's ban on birthright citizenship.
