I still find it and extraordinary situation where one man can manage, and be allowed, to cause such disruption and chaos to the whole worlds economy.

That buggers Reeve's budget even more!Bond yields going up quite a bit too.
Which suggests selling, which suggests
- UK 10y up 40 bps from ~4.4 to 4.8% a 10% increase
- US 10y up 50 bps from ~3.9 to 4.4% a 15% increase
Either way, not great...

A 90 day pause on tariffs now. It's almost as if he's realised he's f***ed up bigly.
f***ing joke. Tariffs on, tariffs out, tariffs up, tariffs down - and he expects US industries to commit to and invest in a complete new home-based manufacturing economy when his ‘plan’ changes every couple of hours? They’re not going to do SHIT, even if they wanted to, on such flaky nonsense.

TBF, I see that China is increased to 125% and there is an argument that this has only been about China anyway, so the issue is now just focused on the US and China.
He wants a unified strategy against China...
. They still think everyone except China loves the US administration 
Trump hater here. But he’s creating division, China and everyone else.

Dow Jones up 6.38%, Nasdaq up 7.49% just now.
Until his next utterance anyway.
Until his next utterance anyway.
Words defy how truly offensive and obnoxious the occupant of the Oval Office is.
At the Republican dinner event @Greg Bobkin mentioned above
He proclaimed: "These countries are calling me up, kissing my ass... they are dying to make a deal..."
Summing up how countries were apparently grovelling, Trump claimed: "'Please, please, sir, make a deal. I'll do anything'."
Tariffs latest: Trump says countries 'dying to make a deal' are 'kissing my a**' - as 104% rate on China kicks in
Donald Trump has imposed a 104% tariff on some Chinese imports to the US, as well as further levies on around 60 countries he calls the "worst offenders". Listen to the latest episode of The World podcast - on when and why Trump's poll rating could drop - as you scroll.news.sky.com
So his 'these countries are calling me up...' thingy, how many I wonder? 8, 9 ?
Maybe the Solomon Islands, Lesotho, those Penguin islands...
It doesn't appear to be the insulted regions of China and the EU at the moment.
Damn, I missed it
.But I don't think it all goes back to normal does it
. Countries and companies have seen their fears realised big time - it would be crazy to go back to business as usual.Many countries may start,/continue to move their focus away from the US as a trading partner.
Listening to experts on BBC 4 tonight the view was that in the end the markets will scupper Trump. If I recall correctly it was Thatcher who said the markets dear boy you cannot beat the markets. The US bond market suffering a big sell off earlier today was a real warning to trump.

Any inside trading I wonder ?
Makes me wonder just how much of the goal is just for insider trading

Bought shares yesterday and has 90 days to sell them at a profit. I really hope it opens the eyes of the rednecks but don’t hold out much hope.
