Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn't sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

... US President Donald Trump has agreed to extend a deadline to negotiate tariffs with the European Union until 9 July. ...

So, yet another tail-between-his-legs retreat by Pres Trump. The world does not seem to be bowing down to him.

And he called that retreat a "privilege."

As Vlad has revealed, after the insults and bullying, Trump has nothing--no strategy, no goal, no supporting cast of smart folks who provide guidance and options. Hit back at a bully and he finds a new target. Keep hitting the bully and he is easily defeated, because he knows not how to fight.

Keep hitting back, world...

"china and us agreed to reduce tariffs by 115"

Who increased tariffs in the first place, and why are they flip-flopping?

If you are in Trumpy's network of wealthy donors or attended the Trumpy latest winner winner chicken "dinner" you will probably do well on stocks today with Trumpy's latest pump and dump.

That's how an oligarchy Werks best.

If a store increases their prices by 150% but later reduces that increase to a lower price (but one that is still higher than the original price), is it really a price reduction?

Do you celebrate that price reduction?

Do you give credit to the store for making that price reduction?

BOTTOM LINE:
1. The Stock Market is not fooled. The recent Stock Market increases still have not returned to levels that existed before this whole tariff fiasco.

2. There's little reason to give credit to someone who removes (or at least delays) the tariffs they imposed.
