Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving the needle right now.
The biggest geopolitical development of the day centers on Ukraine, where President Trump says both Kyiv and Moscow have agreed to a three-day ceasefire and a prisoner exchange. Trump called it the beginning of the end of a war that has ground on for years, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Putin's foreign affairs adviser both confirming the deal. Markets will be watching closely for any knock-on effects in European energy and defense names.
On the trade front, Trump has pulled back from his threatened tariff increase on European Union automobiles, but the relief may be temporary. Auto imports had already tumbled last year and into this year, squeezing activity at several major U.S. seaports. Buyers and port operators are not out of the woods yet, as the underlying tariff architecture remains very much in place and subject to reversal.
Shifting to corporate America, Fortune is out with a deep look at the nine-billion-dollar co-branded partnership between American Express and Delta Air Lines, anchored by the personal relationship between CEOs Stephen Squeri and Ed Bastian. The deal, famously negotiated over a tomahawk steak in Atlanta during COVID, stands as one of the most lucrative arrangements in credit card history.
That's the tape.
