Why is it dumping again?

Lol he's using the word "pause" for the markets but it's still a complete clusterfuck. Anyone who reads beyond the headlines sees it. We now see that about 30-40% of the volume has some kind of brain behind it, because if it was 100% yesterday would be completely reversed.

that's the fun part, they aren't
the US is looking down the barrel of total retail death

Maybe. Or maybe all the show-boating around tariffs will get resolved with a tweet tomorrow and the markets will be right yet again. If this was fully priced in SPX would be below 4000.
I'm very tempted to go for a giant straddle with around 100 days expiry because either this all gets resolved and the markets gigapump or the tariffs stay and everything dumps hard around next earnings reports. There's no way they just stay flat.

Because whales know how to clean out gullible retail magapedes. Do you really think they weren't smart enough to understand that Trump KEKED? Thought they'd listen to the catturd plan-trusters of the Internet?
Trump has no cards against the Changs. That's just the reality of the situation.

because the market has realized theres 4 more years of this bullshit and arent falling for "hold on guys i was just kidding this time" only for it to happen again in a few months

Because we're still in euro-market timezone right now. In about an hour we'll be seeing a slight pump again.
Notice how Trump announced tariffs last wednesday when asian and euro markets were already closed so the american people could still react before euros. He did the same yesterday when pulling back the tariffs during ameri timezone.

do you understand than even if he gave everyone except china a break now no one trusts the US?

trump paused tariffs?

He's shown himself to be erratic and unstable, even more volatile psychologically than the markets themselves. Nobody sane trusts his pause, especially when he's still trying to fight a no-cards trade war against China with tariffs still in play while they match every tariff rate and dump Treasuries at the same time.
It's unironically "Orange Man Bad." If this were some Jeb or Romney dude announcing a pause, the big guys would probably rest assured.

Inflation going down

I think it's amazing we got this far with Trump's whole schtick of "I'm dead serious except when I'm joking and which one I am depends on your reaction."

25% car parts and steel too, still. So car manufacturers are getting fucked.

that's bearish now because of tariffs, it means there's a slowdown before the tariff price increase even hits. no more case for a rate cut.

That's some of the most creative mental gymnastics I've ever read

We all know they'll fall for it again. Trump will say he's lowering the tariff by 10% (he meant 10% -> 9%) and people will buy. Then the truth comes out after the market closes, and the cycle repeats.

Because 10% universal tariffs and 125% tariffs on china is still fucking bad.

wait and see

One Hundred and Twenty-Five Percent on Anything from China

Going to 27% tariff average to 24% tariff average is still NOT A LOT AND REALLY BAD

oh, lol

fentanyl tariff

kek

Why the fuck is there a fentanyl tariff on China? I thought that shit was coming in from Mexican cartels.

were so honestly fucked it cannot be reasonably measured

China sells to Mexico, cartels get it in bulk from them, China not caring who is buying or deliberately doing it to fuel drug epidemic. Thats the basic rundown on that issue.

The orange imbecile blamed Canada for fentanyl, all we do up here is weed

STOP THE COUNT

Why is Mexico buying it from China? Can't the spics just make their own fent? Or are the labour costs still that much cheaper in China compared to Mexico?
There could be an arbitrage opportunity here.

Trump tariffs on China now total 145%, White House clarifies

KWAB

He only paused some of the tariffs. The 145% tariff on China and 10% tariff on everyone else are still going ahead

ART OF THE DEAL!

Because tariff back down wasn't actually a back down. Effective tariff rate only went down from 27 percent to 24 percent. All that happened was Trump cemented that nobody will invest one red cent in US production on the basis of tariffs sticking, but all the downsides of tariffs remain.

Trump managed to bamboozle the market for a few hours but people are waking up to the reality that American autarky is still going forward.

I CANT PUMP

Because we an impulsive retard as president

circuit breaker status?

O.O

that means a buying opportunity.

To protect the Sackler Jewish family

0.83% drop away

April 9

Fuck yeah trump dropped the tariffs, buy and go to sleep.

April 10

wake up and realize there is still an embargo between china and the us and everybody else is on a 10% tariff, panic starts.

THE MARKETS ARE CORRECTING TO THE REALITY THAT AN ORANGE NIGGER IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Because Trump's inner circle still hasn't learned that markets need stability for people to want to invest here, and he keeps tweeting incendiary shit that's guaranteed to promote volatility. People will eventually just park their money in something relatively safe until his term is over, or he's forced out of office, or congress grows a set of balls and stops him.

I'm glad we have people like you who have personal experience going back 300 years for every country who has ever done tariffs, despite the fact that you've never typed the word "tariff" in your life before Trump was elected.

I just want you to know that you're unironically part of the bad people, talking about shit that you know nothing about, purely based on vibes and what your "curated feed" tells you.

You need the supply chain and specialized chemical plants for these kind of things, not what you can produce in most other places and with the Chinese low price. It was the same with Chinese import of ephedrine to Mexico 15years ago, a component used to produce meth.

So on top of being retarded the president of the most powerful country in the world is also deeply insecure, great, yes, that will teach those greedy stock hoarders who wears the pants in this house, fantastic really.

Against shithole countries? He kept them against the EU and China

Interesting. Could the EU try and disrupt this market? In terms of exports chemicals are near the top and their labs are all world class. Or are even the components too regulated to try and hide under normal export regulations?

If you were the market, you'd be dumping too.
