Tech stocks led the recovery Monday on both sides of the US-Canada border on reports the White House wouldn’t pursue industry-specific tariffs.

US stocks initially rallied after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, forecasted two interest rate cuts later this year, and Chairman Jay Powell suggested the economy was still strong.

The markets have been flipped upside down. Stocks have been tumbling, gold has soared past $3,000 an ounce, and volatility is through the roof. Is this the start of a major shift, or just a temporary shakeout?
It’s Fed Day everyone! No, it’s not a national holiday…so make sure you show up to work as usual. But definitely keep an eye on Washington around 2 pm Eastern when the Federal Reserve announces the results of its latest gathering.
