Just as investors thought they could take a break from the tariff scares, President Donald Trump’s threats of new levies against the European Union and Apple threw trade tensions back into focus ahead of a long holiday weekend. 

That’s a reminder to stock market investors that tariffs will likely remain a factor this summer as they navigate a volatile macroeconomic environment with concerns around growing U.S. government debt, elevated yields for long-dated Treasurys, and a jump in Japan’s bond yields that may trigger further outflow from U.S. assets.
