against the (U.S. dollar) overnight as the tariff premium continues to come out of the USD,\u201d Noah Buffam, a currency analyst at CIBC Capital Markets, said in a note on Friday, adding that \u201cwe expect a continued slow unwind of the tariff premium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karl Schamotta, chief currency strategist at Corpay, echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBenchmark 10-year Treasury yields are down, equity markets are up, and measures of financial market volatility are well off their highs as \u2018tariff exhaustion\u2019 kicks in,\u201d he said in a note on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Several other major currencies rose.<\/p>\n<p>The pound was trading at year-long highs, the euro was up against the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso added \u201cto gains ahead of the North American open,\u201d Schamotta said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Investors seem to be smelling a rat on this tariff file<\/p>\n<p>David
