What assets moved inverse to the market during last week's tariff crash?

The market is currently climbing back up on the news of the tariffs being paused, and I'm wondering if now isn't a great time to rebalance my portfolio to hedge against the long term impact the tariffs may have on the economy. Even assuming the tariffs are negotiated down before they go into effect, it seems likely this trade war that was sparked will die down entirely. But I'm not sure the best way to go about identifying which stock sectors or other asset markets showed inverse movement during the crash, or whether or not relying on such data over such a short window is a good way to go about thinking through a hedge.

Has anyone else done this research or have opinions on this line of thinking?
