How’s everyone feeling after today’s 90-day tariff pause *and* the new China tariff increase? Wild combo. Personally, I’m wondering if “tomorrow” brings more news designed to trigger a dump after today’s pump.
A couple days ago I commented that the tweet about a 90-day pause felt like “fake news” until it becomes real. And sure enough, it seems like we’re caught in another orchestrated news cycle meant to manipulate market sentiment on demand.
I can’t help but think there’s a bigger game at play here. My theory? Trump wants rates cut so he can renegotiate the debt, and all this chaos—tariffs, market volatility—is just part of the pressure campaign. Once he gets those rate cuts, I think we’ll see tariffs cool off, markets surge, and he’ll take credit for both boosting the market and shrinking the debt.
So I’m curious—what do *you* think is really going on? Are we in for more volatility and a retest of recent lows? Or do you think this is the start of a new bull leg?
Would love to hear your thoughts—especially from fellow traders riding this roller coaster.
