He now claims he isn't even looking at equity markets!

So now he doesn't pay any mind to the equity markets??


What even more interesting in this whole scheme of things is that he says "long term the United States will be very strong" now with that being said i have heard for the absolute longest time that equity markets are 100% forward looking. Now if this the case why are equity markets selling off ....
If this were true about implementing tarriffs the markets would be touching new highs after new highs. . So as you can see something is very wrong here. Markets don't agree one bit that tarriffs will make the US STRONGER....if they did we would have implemented tarrifs of this magnitude the last 100 years. ...


Trump said the decision had “nothing to do with the market. I’m not even looking at the market, because long term the United States will be very strong with what is happening here.”

We should learn from him how to give excuses and those things.

Interesting Q&A
Reporter : You said President Zelensky was a dictator ...
President Trump : Did I say that? Next Question


MAGA!

 

Indeed indeed indeed.....

 

Somehow I believe him on this one.

He is very busy, not in his 20's and the sp500 is still at 7% correction.

 

Well if the S&p continues to fall the way it has will be at 0 by June .....

 

The Fed would print a few trillions by May if that happens

 

It's so much not that the market don't believe that the tariffs are good for the economy. Good or bad, the market can handle tariffs. What the market doesn't like is every morning (afternoon?) Trump wakes up, implements a new directive without thinking it through, and reversing course the next day when he realizes what a disaster he created. The market knows that no business can operate with that much chaos.

 

Yes, maybe he stopped looking at the markets unable to take the ownership of the chaos he is creating. Anyways in this term, his new family business is boosting crypto, so equities take back seat.

 

yea...weve known for millenia that Markets dont like uncertainty. And Donald has brought unending uncertainty each and every morning and most of the afternoon. Is it probably not completely about Tariffs at all.

Somehow..I dont think he will bring clarity for quiet a while. It may take 6 months. The clue for big reduction of uncertainty would be his China policy and Tariffs. 100% wont work at all. So, we wiil eventually look for direct communication and negotiation with china and eventual compromise

 

Tariffs or no tariffs, the market hates uncertainty more than anything. Businesses can plan and adjust and react to tariffs over time, but him changing things every day is the worst possible scenario for the markets.

And if you think he's being honest about not looking at the markets - ask yourself this... Do you think he'd say the same thing if we were up 10% since he took office?
