Amazon third-party sellers are raising prices and looking for new suppliers after President Trump lifted tariffs on goods from China.

Trump was asked by a reporter a question on whether he thought Ukrainian leader Zelensky was ready to “give up” the Crimea territory that Russia occupied in 2014:

• Trump responded

  “Oh, I think so”

This would be a direct contradiction to the Ukrainian leader’s previous statements on the peninsula annexed by Russia.

Earlier from Trump:

• Trump says ‘confines of a deal’ are there on Ukraine / Russia

Take Trump’s answer on Crimea with a grain of salt. But, if he is correct then it brings an end to the war closer in sight.

Reuters ECB sources report that a consensus is building for a June rate cut. At the moment the market is pricing in 71% chance of a cut but it looks like the ECB wants to bump that up, given that this report cites six sources.

The report notes that data has been deteriorating but also notes that the euro has strengthened and oil prices have declined.

It also notes that “policymakers saw no reason to consider a 50 basis point cut”.

I would expect this report to put some light pressure on the euro at the open, given that this is a strong signal.
