And, we are back:

The S&P 500 is now down -100 points from its high of the day as Bessent says Trump has not offered to take down tariffs on China on a unilateral basis.

Bessent has also declined to comment on a WSJ report that claimed tariffs would fall from 145% to 50%-65%.

More conflicting headlines are likely coming next.
