XJO - Bear Posts only (Factors which might cause the markets to fall), page-23053

Markets were only happy because tariffs were paused that's why they didn't "matter anymore". Markets have the attention span of my cat ATM because its full of wannabe traders who think stocks "only go higher". But we always knew they would be back in one form or another.

There is a reason they say tariffs are deflationary versus inflationary. The logic is wrong but right at the same time. That's because they are so inflationary that by default they become deflationary when consumers can no longer afford to buy. Inflation is fine but deflation not so good right?:

This is why tariffs = global recession.

Our economies were built on globalization and free trade. Trump is effectively going to nuke global trade if he pushes ahead even with just 10 percent tariffs. In fairness to him though, the only way he can fix the mess he inherited is to crash it all. Then he can be seen trying to fix "Bidens recession" at the midterms?

Either way whatever the reason he is doing it once the consumer rolls over so does the economy. The consumer is already falling off the cliff just look at personal debt, but its been happening in slow motion giving market makers time to sell out. Tariffs will just be the shove that sends them over a lot quicker.

P.S. As I keep telling you every crash/recession sees massive govt spending, interest rate cuts and huge stimulus bills and despite it all we still crash every time. The reason, the economy is built on the back of the consumer once they go everything goes. Good luck bud.
