Trump is weakening the US Dollar's reserve currency status. Foreign countries are selling US Treasuries/stocks & buying other currencies and gold

[Arithmetic]

We are seeing historical moves on gold (going up), bonds (going down), stocks (going down) and the dollar (going down versus the other major currencies). These assets never move in those directions at the same time.

One of three things will happen before next Friday if these conditions continue:

1) Federal Reserve will step in and lower interest rates (ahead of schedule) because Trump is a stupid fool
2) US markets will get destroyed
3) Trump will cave on China

The bond market might be the real reason he paused the tarriffs. Foreign countries selling bonds would really fukk up interest rates.
And oh yeah, he is now talking about going to the supreme Court to fire Powell.

I'm tired boss. This administration has been like a roller coaster ride from hell and you are stuck in the front seat. After a while you become Mr Bean and just yawn at the constant nonsense this diaper doody having orange cac been doing.

Dude could announce tomorrow that he's going to fukk a Coli Breh's girl, and somehow I will rep and dap his parody account. I just don't give a damn anymore.

Shake my tree when we all wake up into a economy that makes the Chinese president go: 該死

OP it will have to be eithe 2 or 3, because the Federal Reserve has already indicated that they are not likely to do number 1. I listened to a show today where the economist was stating that the Federal Reserve is deciding between bailing out hedge funds or fighting against inflation. The Federal Reserve is indicating that they have to fight against inflation, because if they don't then the economy will tank and people will lose jobs. However Trump's tariffs is making the inflation fight even more difficult. It sounds like some hedge funds and banks might be in really bad trouble. It looks like China and Japan may be deleveraging US bond which might be behind this liquidity issue. Trump has set up the USA for a massive financial collapse. I am hoping it is just a deep depression rather than a depression. Financial peopl in the administration were finally able to get that through Trump's thick head yesterday.

The bond market was the reason he paused the tariffs. We were on the edge of financial collapse yesterday. Some Country is cashing out on US bonds. People think that is China, but a Fox business report said that it was Japan. China and Japan are a couple of the biggest US bond holders. I think that countries are bailing on the USA, because Trump is unstable.

Yeah, I know what the Fed said. Trust me, the Fed will be forced. Inflation has been coming down for 2.5 years now. It was on track. That was until Trump rolled out this brain dead tariff war. So now the inflation concern has increased in their eyes precisely because of Trump. But Trump doesn't care. He asked the Supreme Court today to allow him to fire Agency leaders. He has his eyes on Powell. But a potential crash in bonds of this magnitude will force Powell's hand even before Trump gets to fire him.

Yeah, I know what the Fed said. Trust me, the Fed will be forced. The leverage in the stock market is nothing compared to the leverage in the US Treasury market.

Yeah we will see tomorrow, because something has to give. They have so many fires going on right now that it is crazy. Consumer demand has slowed. Real estate markets are teetering. On and on and on.

The behavior of gold is outside the norm in the last 30 years. It was very obvious there’s been tremendous buying pressure on gold and silver over the last few years but more recent months. It’s fungible and every government in the world accepts it as payment. It’s one of those good things to have on hand and hold if you have the funds. IMO.

Japan called this idiots bluff on the bond market....bessent had to explain it to him like a 3rd grader

I think we all know what needs to happen ...no comment


Trump will cave because he always caves...he will gaslight his MAGA cult once again..he will bend over for China because this current batch of Americans aren't built for a trade war with China

Then he will declare victory


Drove past a house today that had a Trump flag with his failed assassination attempt photo on it...these white people are willing to go broke over this shyt.... they don't give a fukk

You can fool the public into thinking tariffs are good, you can fool the public into thinking you’re a genius, but you cannot fool the market. At the end of the day it’s demand and supply and right now the demand is cratering.
