Trump Tariffs Hit New SCOTUS Block Amid Failures
Key Questions
What recent Supreme Court decision affected Trump's tariffs?

How are Congress's China curbs impacting companies?
Congressional restrictions on China exports hit ASML, with 20% of its sales at risk, causing shares to fall. This adds volatility to semis and chips sectors.

Anthony Scaramucci slammed tariffs alongside energy spikes and uncertainty as 'everything done wrong.' Jamie Dimon urged strengthening allies economically in veiled criticism.
What is the market reaction to tariff developments?
Tariff blocks and new duties contribute to leveraged loan market risk-off signals and middle market debt stress. Semiconductor volatility rises from China curbs.
