🚀 Here comes the "Trump Put"...
Dow surges 2,400 points for biggest rally in 5 years Trump tariffs drop to 10% universal rate for all countries except China for 90 days. Here are the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY 👇 : ➡️ THE GOOD: This is (at least temporarily) putting an halt to the cyclical bear market which was in the midst of turning into a full-blown financial crisis. ➡️ THE BAD: Who can deal with such volatility and unpredictability? Investors started the day trying to understand the risks of the basis trade unwinding and now they have to handle the biggest rally for the Dow in 5 years... What about CEOs and CFOs? At this stage it is impossible for them to make any plans about capex, hiring or M&As. All of this will have consequences on the risk premium required by investors. It will also have consequences on economic growth and employment.
