Market Manipulation - US stock economy

So let me get this straight China just slapped an 84% tariff on American goods today, Europe responds with a 25% retaliatory tariff, and yet… the markets are up? We’re literally watching a full blown trade war unfold in real time. This isn’t “priced in” this news literally just broke, yes the market pulled back over the last few days, but with this level of escalation, we should be seeing serious damage. Instead? It’s oddly calm suspiciously so. Let’s be real this reeks of manipulation. China has a history of using its sovereign wealth funds to stabilize their markets and it’s not a stretch to think the U.S. is doing something similar right now. When the fundamentals are this shaky and geopolitical tensions are this high, a green market doesn’t make sense unless there’s artificial support behind it. And it’s not because trump tweeted time to buy now, this was the cover up mask. It’s fishy. It’s coordinated. And it’s not investor confidence it’s intervention.
