The market cracked today as a wall of worries hit. The flash point was a jump in 5-year inflation expectations in the UMich survey to a 30-year highs. That raised some questions about US rate cuts this year but it was about more than that as concern about US tax cuts, tariffs and a handful of other things. There is more on that here.

The FX market wasn't as volatile as stocks but it was the same directionally on a flight to safety that benefited the yen and weighed most-heavily on commodity currencies. The move was steady and unwound some of the recent US dollar weakness while extending the recent run of yen strength.

Have a great weekend.
