Good thing China backed down because they don't want to get in a trade war.

Maybe if the US retaliates, but I can’t imagine they’ll be tariffed on the stuff they actually make in China.

I think the market reaction is based on this starting another retaliation in the US.

That’s weird. I was told tariffs only hurt the people in that country. Why would China want to hurt their people like this?

It's going to be another red day. if we have weak NFP data and Powell says tariffs are bad and no rate cuts, we plummet. Trump will probably escalate the tariffs on China too but will wait until after market close. Buckle up, it's going to stay ugly out there.

This is a reminder to everyone that shite gets real from time to time. We could easily see another 5-8% come off. What we’ve been seeing over the last 10 years has been abnormal. This correction is partially a correction looking for a narrative. Once the bottom is in we’ll be better off for it.

We should follow the 10 year IMO. As long as we’re above 3 I bet there is pain left. It’s really starting to move now.

We very much need to decouple from China. They are our number 1 enemy and have bad intentions. It will be painful but necessary.

Slackster, do you think the play is to get countries to chip in to buy our treasuries and refinance the massive amount of debt that’s due. Then they get relief?

You think the 10 year is going to go into the 2s?

I don’t know what that point is honestly. When I typed 3 it felt a bit low but that’s a point where I’d definitely think the treasury would be happy. I’m curious what Slack or anyone else thinks. That’s THE number that matters. We’ve seen wild rate volatility the last couple of years that makes me think 3 is possible though.

Yes but there's a much better way to do that than to start a trade war with the entire world at the same. To compound it, he keeps insulting/disrespecting key allies- countries we need to work with if we want to decouple from China. Instead he's pushing them all closer together. This is retardedly stupid.

Yup we're pissing off the entire world but more importantly all our allies. We're isolating ourselves. Really unfortunate how this has all gone down.
