Trump Set to Start Notifying Countries of Tariffs Up to 70%

Sorry you lost all the money you borrowed on your credit card trying to short the US, but I warned everyone not to do that. I know it’s tough seeing Americans happy, fulfilled and wealthy, but your country can have it too if you want. Just start working towards capitalism instead of letting corrupt politicians rule your existence.

USA is so fucked the clown president rides again

Shouldn’t we assume the same as every other instance?
He threatens huge tariffs, the country starts negotiating in good faith, then he reverses the huge tariffs.
Then they come to some sort of reasonable deal, everyone moves on.
No significant effect on anything.

Only way I see that changing is if a country decides to do the opposite of every other country and tries to actually fight back.

Not because of any news, S&P went up 1500 points almost straight up, futures gave back 40 with no volume on a holiday. Meaningless until we see what happens Monday. I posted I was preparing for a pullback, but so far the 40 points just like profit taking. Have to wait to see how counties respond.

Yep, that nickname’s been making the rounds on Wall Street — TACO stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” It’s a cheeky acronym coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong to describe a pattern traders noticed: Trump announces aggressive tariffs, markets wobble, and then he backs off, triggering a rebound2.

This cycle has become so predictable that investors started betting on it — buying stocks when they dip, expecting Trump to soften his stance and markets to recover. That strategy’s now dubbed the TACO trade.

Trump wasn’t thrilled when asked about it. He called the term “nasty” and insisted it’s all part of his negotiation tactics. But the nickname stuck, and it’s even inspired memes involving tacos and chickens — not exactly the branding he was going for.

Here we go

Black swan coming

The President of China said no one would win in the tariff war meaning that everything would be miserable

The tariff war does not exist in the global economic dictionary ..... Tariff war will only have a greater negative impact than its use

gold is still in an uptrend, although there is a correction due to re-distribution

Market will up on Monday morning

Countries had enough time to come to a deal .. times up , send them the bill !

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

BEARISH Harami on the ES.

It's already become a LOOP with these tariff negotiations

Hahaha.. Trump is like that Ex boyfriend that wont take a hint that he's being ignored for a reason.. He just continues to make the US the laughing stock of the world, well, more than they already were....

It is the truth and he is right. Compare to India, China, Russia and other countries, USA has low poverty percentage of people. Most people are average to rich. Go see results for China, India and Russia and come back and talk.

Black Swan Event is so rare and outside the realm of expectations that it is unpredictable. So by it's own defintion you can't say it is coming, you can only say with hindight that it happened.

Djia looks like it's going to take a hit Sunday night.

Wait, I thought trade talks were going well? What happened to the well? Did we fall into it? Should I call Lassie? What dO I doOoooOOOO?

This is going to drive my eurusd and gbpusd buy positions much higher.
