GLOBAL MARKETS-Safe havens rise as recession concerns trigger easing bets
Investors on Tuesday sought traditional safe havens, including the Japanese yen and U.S. Treasuries, even as there were signs that more economic stimulus was on its way, as markets focused on concerns over a global deceleration.

U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration was looking to cut some taxes but that he was not talking about doing anything imminently.

Trump says White House looking at payroll tax cut, urges Fed rate cut
President Donald Trump said Tuesday his administration is looking at tax cuts, including cutting payroll taxes. Trump's comment follows a late-Monday Washington Post report that the administration was considering a temporary payroll tax cut. The White House said cutting payroll taxes wasn't under consideration, and Trump on Tuesday did not put any time frame on such a cut. But he said, "payroll taxes is something I have been thinking about. Many people would like to see that." The president also repeated his desire for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. "If the Fed would do its job, we'd have a tremendous spurt of growth," Trump said in remarks alongside the president of Romania at the White House.
