This is also called a buy phase
Buy low, sell high
Trumps policies are expected to pass costs on to consumers but have the benefit of maintaining production and development internally which should long term keep more money inside the USA, hardening supply lines against foreign influence. Given that China is openly campaigning for war on Taiwan by 2027 latest, and they're responsible for close to 80% of critical imports to US minerals, this puts the US in a predicament which Trump (probably not on purpose tbh, I won't give him the credit) is preparing for.
Tariffs on raw metals and minerals have proven effective since his first term with significant improvements in domestic refinement.
-"Tardif pass-through and implications for domestic markets: Evidence from US steel imports" Ahmad et al. (2023).
This isn't shared by other aspects of the supply network though like finished products or more complicated manufacturing because market instability halts investment in those areas, so no development actually increases in the US and prices just increase. This is a fatal flaw in the tariff calculus that is hurting trade and the economy. Manufacturing takes years to develop and adapt, and no one will leap on that kind of investment without clear assurances.
Stable genius getting results!!!
This brings a smile to my face. My stocks are somehow all steady. The smile is not for those like me losing out. It for all those rich 1-3% who it really hurts. When the orange tumor and his apartheid nazi loses their support then perhaps we can do something that doesn't equate to civil war.
lol, no. Rich ppl just gonna buy when retail sells. Smart money sold already.
Its a bit higher than the low it hit two weeks backish on the 13th. Its significant because the bit of recovery petered out and in the past little false recoveries like this was the stair step down that made it into a truly crashing market. It did not so far though fall below the low of the recent drop but it is pretty close to it.
"Technical" analysis is bullshit. There are enough value based indicators that show why the US stock market is going to have a rough time in the coming years without this hocus pocus speak.
E.g. the combined P/E of all stocks on the NYSE is over 25 while that of Nasdaq is over 29. That indicates a massive bubble as this ratio historically averages around 20.
This was already under Biden, Trump is just triggering the correction with his ineptitude instead of some outside factor. The fact he, unlike Biden, is not even trying to resolve the underlying causes will just make it worse.

since 2023
So what's the explanation for why stocks dropped so much in 2023?
Inflation was part of it, also the Russian incursion into Ukraine was sparking fears of ww3.
The actions of this admin are reigniting those fears and we’re witnessing similar results in the market.
