"Donald Trump played chicken with the markets for a week. But by Wednesday the multi-front trade war he launched on the world on April 2 with much fanfare had become unsustainable economically, financially and politically for the US president."

To be fair. He told everyone when to buy. It was no secret email.
Trump? The same bloke that announced to the world that bleach would clean out their insides and help rid them of Covid.
Good old honest Don - the rapist - liar - convicted felon.

Trump hikes 'de minimis' tariff on low-value packages from China to 120%
completely pointless, de minimis packages are just too much administration to deal with -Trump would have to re instate all those federal employees he sacked plus take on thousands more

"One reason the president is so hostile to the EU is that he recognises a major trading bloc is harder to bully. Whatever the pros and cons of the EU’s policies, it is in a position to defend them should it so choose, as shown by this week’s readiness to contemplate retaliatory tariffs. The UK is not."

The EU removed the 'de minimis' tax exemption status from imports a few years ago. The US allowance on 'de minimus' was £800 dollars, the EU allowance was 150 Euros.
Exports from China to the US under 'de minimus' were $5.3 billion in 2018 rising to $66 billion in 2023.

Yep the EU were holding steady, while the 27 members were busy negotiating a deal for them. Perfect example of how the EU works.

A couple of days ago there was a leak reported, that there would be a 90 day pause on the tariffs. The market shot up, I think it was 6%. Then went back the same amount when it was denied, a few minutes later. The thought at the time was that it was done on purpose.
The market is manipulated all the time, a few ex employees have admitted. The normal thing is to introduce a spike down in price to trigger all the stop-losses. Stock holders then automatically sell at a much lower price than they should.
A little while ago I put a bit in China. I knew it was volatile so I put a stop loss well out of the way of sillly dips, at -20%. Then I noticed it had sold at 80% of its value, without the spike even showing on the chart. I think it cost me £3k.
One of the "prop floor" (pro traders) I watch daily had it done to him. It cost his company $200k. He took the rest of the day off.
There is what is called "dark pool" activity which causes these "wicks" too.
COuld this "non leak" have been organised to see what would happen. Definitely
