Take a look at the DAX or STOXX600 and get back to me.


But they are probably more willing to let their markets drop in tandem with ours as long as it means they keep their tariff advantage.
If foreign countries cave on their current tariff advantage then of course their markets will go up, but they will have lost a huge tariff advantage in the process.
They will eventually come to the table and meet in the middle.
The question is how much carnage will be left in the wake of this negotiation, and how far will the markets fall until they compromise.

How many more days can the market drop 5% before Trump eases his position, but good luck getting that through the heads of the simpletons on this board.
Posting anything other than "Trump is God" means you're a Bot or paid by George Soros.

They will take an even larger hit if they don’t negotiate.


I agree.
Just saying that after the Dow dropping 4k in two days that they might be sitting back and wondering just how far Trump is willing to let the market fall before he backs down.
It's a negotiation, a game of chicken.
I mean if both sides don't budge the Dow could be down another 5 or 10k by the End of Month.
I mean it's dropped 4k in two days.

Check out theirs. Just remember, you don't lose until you sell.


I'm fine.
I sold everything and went 100% cash Tuesday.
No way in hell I was going to be long on Tariff Night in case he went bigger than people expected.
Glad I did.

Also it would be dumb to be the last country to make a deal with Trump.


They have been screwing us over on tariffs for a long time.
They will take a real hit if they renegotiate.
The deals need to be renegotiated, but they won't go gently into the night.
They are kind of like Ex-Wives who don't want to renegotiate their ridiculously high Alimony/Child Support when their Ex-Husband gets a pay cut. :lol:
They don't care about fair, they just want to keep screwing us over.
The countries that have been totally F'ing us over will probably come to the table soon because they know that they have been getting away with murder.
But a lot of other countries are probably feeling more emboldened to play hardball after watching our stock market dropping like a rock the last two days.
Makes for a difficult investing environment when you're just a tweet/trade deal away from a face ripping rally.
But if other countries play hardball, and Trump refuses to budge, the last two days market crash will end up looking like a picnic.

We live in interesting times.
That didn't take long.
Market rallying on the news.
Jay Powell speaks in a few minutes so he could obviously move the market.

CNBC

EDIT: Powell sounding hawkish & market is heading south again.
