Trump Said Crazy Stuff Today; Stocks Trade Higher

Ok, let’s go thru today’s list of crazy shit the President said, just to get it out of the way.

We can fight a trade war with China now because ‘We’re playing with the bank’s money’.

Trump: ‘We’re playing with the bank’s money’ on market’s gain since election to fight trade war from CNBC.

He’s taking aim at the Fed. How dare he!

Trump says he’s ready to ‘go to 500’, referring to maximum tariffs on all Chinese goods coming into the US, in order to teach them what they need to be told.

Trump weighs in on the trade war with China from CNBC.

On this news, the dollar is getting claw hammered by 0.6% v the euro — because it implies Trump’s pressure on the Fed might translate into an easier Fed. And, that is having a positive effect on stocks. The Nasdaq is +!5.

See how fucking pointless this all is?

Buy stocks.

      None of thise really explains the recent negative correlation between rates and the dollar tho. Rare to see TNX and UUP moving in the same direction on a given day
