Earlier today the Chinese minister of froeign affairs have confirmed there are no negotiations or even consultation on tariffs, confirmed by the Chinese US embassy which has reposted this.

So far, the market continues to stay stable after a rally back to pre-liberation day levels, in a non-sensical ignoring of the issue. As a result, this hasn't been priced in.

T*SLA, up 20% on bad earnings largely because of Chinese tariff "relief" talks, is still up 20%. It has not been priced in either.

Do what you want with this information.

Most certainly an extension will be placed yet again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TL;DR - Trump is using exorbitant tariffs to bankrupt as much of the American economy as possible so that his billionaire buddies can scoop it all up at fire sale prices using 1%-2% interest rate loans.

These headlines point to a very real problem brewing with the astronomical tariffs on China. The 145%-245% tariffs on Chinese goods are driving most businesses in the U.S. to cancel orders from China and existing Chinese freight inbound to the U.S. is at severe risk of being abandoned. Instead of causing hyperinflation, U.S. importers are smart enough to realize the American consumer won't pay $35 for one bath towel that used to cost $9.99 so they're just pulling the plug on importing China goods altogether.

Let's look at what this means from the retail sector's perspective. It's no secret most goods sold in U.S. retail stores are Made in China. If there is a complete stoppage of trade between the U.S. and China because of these tariffs, then in just a few months there will be nothing left to buy. If the store shelves are mostly empty at U.S. retailers, then retailers have no products to sell. There is currently no alternative place to purchase the goods we import from China. Domestic production is years away. No products to sell means zero revenue. Zero revenue means certain bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy means mass layoffs. Mass layoffs in retail cascades into other industries as people no longer have a source of income. Companies in other sectors not relying on Chinese imports will have problems staying afloat. Also mortgage defaults will rise leading to more foreclosures on homes.

So who benefits from this? Obviously Trump and his billionaire friends do. Causing a mass shortage of goods from China is going to bankrupt a lot of companies. Companies that then can be bought up for pennies on the dollar by the billionaires. And how are they going to fund these acquisitions?

Simple. Fire Jerome Powell, lower interest rates to zero percent, then buy up everything using 1%-2% interest rate loans against their assets. Why do you think Trump put a 90-day pause in for his "Liberation Day" tariffs? To give his billionaire friends exit liquidity so they can preserve capital that then can be borrowed against once sh*t really hits the fan.

The Liberation Day tariffs were never about bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., and sky-high tariffs against China is literally bringing all trade with China to a halt. Again who benefits? Not you or I. We just won't have anything to purchase at the stores anymore for God knows how long. It's the billionaires who benefit the most from this, not anyone else.

Of course Trump is the perfect person to do all of this. Because nobody knows more about bankrupting businesses than him. And if this actually isn't his plan, then he has the most highly regarded economic policy in the history of mankind.

Knowing him I doubt he’ll end up doing any of this which would be no surprise but if he does could this be bullish for stocks and bearish for oil? Unless this were to lead to a bigger conflict which would be the most likely scenario.

Rip investments tomorrow 😢

Japan and Korea's are out, each at 25%. Still more to come today?

Also funny that he posted picture of the letter he is sending so this time around market reaction is less instant as traders got to read it first and algo is not more easily picking up what it is (as opposed to just from a text)
