Don't underestimate the power of the "Trump put."
Analysts say the stock market has been hanging in after trade talks with China hit a rough spot because investors believe a deal is coming, and they also expect President Donald Trump to take action if the stock market looks like it is heading for a real meltdown.
The put is the belief that Trump will not let the stock market collapse, since he views it as a measure of his own success. On Friday, stocks cut steep losses after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said talks with China Vice Premier Liu He were "constructive," as they ended for the day.

Trump knows what he is doing.
