Trump issues 90 day pause on some tariffs

chaos is chaos whether it's an up day or a down day

until the chaos from Trump ends, we are going to keep seeing volatility like this

Such a myopic view . As a result of Trumps actions China is now anything but isolated economically. You really don't get it.

Oh I get it. Those swimming in Trump hate are the ones who can't see straight. But you know I've long felt China and Canada could end up pretty close. Good luck Canada.
 


Probably because it's all bullshido.

Oh and

I know, China is the latest trend for the left. Hating Trump and wanting Trump to fail takes some down paths like that.

You are damn right! The entire thinking world wants Trump to fail in his insane obsession with initiating a world wide trade war that would result in a world wide recession. Damn right we want him to fail in his personal mission and obsession.

He says he heard someone talking about 2001.....the market crashed the year before, so I have no idea who....or why....he is listening to whomever. Personally, I think he is making it all up.

We will never be " close " but we will make strategic deals that make sense.

Yes, but I believe the reference was to the 01-03-2001 rally where there was a single day +14% gain, the point being that today's gains don't mean the sell off is "over". Anyway, not speaking for poster anymore...

It isn't, and that's a pretty crappy deflection.


Hating Donnie Boy has less to do with disliking idiotic policy that tanked the market. Conversely, thinking any of this was good policy or negotiating is a pretty special level of comedy.

Hating "Donnie Boy" started long before tariff moves started. Hating "Donnie Boy" owns the left and they'll follow that hate absolutely anywhere it takes them. Common sense be damned - Trump hate dictates every breath.

The irony of a Trump supporter saying others are driven by hatred.

Holly shit you are funny.
Any normal half-educated person can see Trump's policies are poison. You can not claim to have common sense when you surrendered yourself to a cult leading con man.

This is a bit delusional, since hate has nothing to do with excoriating a politician for an absolutely daft decision to launch a trade war against most of the world. It's unfortunate you are unable or unwilling to know the difference.

The language of the tariffs specifically exempted materials that left port for our shores before the effective date. This is how Donald talks big games without actually doing anything. Obviously for imports from Mexico and Canada, the impact can be felt within a day or two by land. But China? 3 to 5 weeks to reach our west or east coasts via canal.

This is why he singled out China while caving on Mexico and Canada—assuming he caved, no one seems to know what the current Canada tariffs are.

Obviously, Americans will buy material from China, send it to Canada, then bootleg it into the US. Although that may be difficult for larger items, it shouldn't be so hard for smaller purchases. We see the cigar boats and "fishing" boats again, transporting lots of duty-free material - especially essentials like chips.
 
delaying tariffs for 90 days, except for China now at 125%, he is wanting everyone to back him to defeat China and after that is done reimpose his tariffs on the rest of the world, i don't know if he has pulled back on the 25% Steel and Aluminium tariffs but either way he was spooked by a number of factors EU imposing tariffs, and reports of ditching of US debt bonds by several countries and private investors

either way this is extremely embarrassing for the dotard

Posts like this indicate being out of one's league.

Even with today's semi-reprieve, "Main Street" WalMart shoppers will be suffering in a little over a month (if the current tariff trajectory remains in place).

They'll be fine. We have to stop China from cheating.

Its not, market reacts to news favouring best expectations usually since it in everyones "favour". The news was vague that everyone is getting 10% including Canada and Mexico besides China. Now its clearer that old tariffs remain, Canada/Mexico get 25% that they had, China gets 125% and rest get 10% for 90 days. Meaning that US markets will start dropping again tomorrow. He said it after the markets were close. European markets will jump up massively tomorrow and Asian ones excluding China.

That's what I mean. The rally felt too strong / enthusiastic given the nature of tariffs that still remain in effect, plus the 90 day can kick down the road. I'd be surprised if it holds for the next 3 months, esp with earnings on the way where CEOs will give guidance
