Stocks Drop, Bonds Sell Off

Stocks swung back and forth in volatile trading and bond yields jumped Wednesday even as the White House's trade war escalated and a prominent business leader predicted a recession.

The bond market -- not a plunging stock market -- is the talk of Wall Street with prices tumbling and yields spiking, unusual action during times when fears of a recession are growing where fixed income is typically considered a reliable safe haven.[image or embed]

And today we see Trumpy declaring a "pause".

Looks like he had depressed stocks enough for the oligarchs to buy up the depressed stocks so he could declare a "pause" which sent the markets skyrocketing.

They think we are too stupid to see what he is doing.

#3- yep - Trump caved after all his bluster telling US to not be "panicans" (he's proud he invented that word), and of course - worse.
His 10% is still stupid.
China boosted to 125% now - dumbassery out of control

Ludnick is a blathering idiot with massively high opinions of himself.

Now with the cave-in by Trump, watch him claim victory as the 'greatest negotiator ever'. Lmao!

First the dog eats all the poop in the yard.

Then the dog vomits in the bed. While owner freaks out and runs to get something to clean up the vomit the dog then eats the vomit.

The dog then looks at its master and wags its tail proudly for cleverly solving the problem it created.

Trump announced a 90-day pause. The DOW is soaring!
Now Trump can pretend he "solved" a problem that he created unnecessarily, per usual.

A president so corrupt that he creates wild swings in the market just so his rich pals can profit off insider trading.

Co-president musk now fully in charge of economic policy. In 90 days tRump will have forgotten tariffs.

Headlines for stocks crashing OR soaring hardly ever last.

Especially in these days of Idiocracy and President Comancho purposely manipulating the markets for his own and his friends personal gain.

" manipulating the markets for his own and his friends personal gain."

They're trying to squeeze out every last drop of America's value before turning out the lights as they jet to Dubai.

Trumpanzee blinked again.

"panicans" (he's proud he invented that word)

When he had "ScaredyCrats" right there in front of him.

Bessent and Ludnik, Hassett and Navarro.
What a crew.
That "pair of twos" Bessent sneered China holds?
It includes about three-quarters of a trillion in US bonds.

Something is seriously wrong, when the folks who create and affect the markets, get to bet on which way the markets will turn.

"In 90 days tRump will have forgotten tariffs."

Same thing the President of Mexico said about Trump! It's no ecret he is mentally unstable and can barely remember the name of that nasty woman he occasionally sees around the house.
