Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Soar"
Looks back a month to compare
Falling without style?
First thing I thought. Even after today, the S&P 500 is down 5% on the month and 10% since Trump took office
This is a dead cat bounce. Nothing fundamentally has changed until Trump is out of office. There is no one talking him down from his bad decision making.
He will move onto the next grift or scandal so he can dominate the next news cycle and make the old one go away. Eventually he will come back to fuck with the economy again.
Rinse & Repeat/Round and round we go until he hits something big he can’t make go away like Covid did in his first term. Then he will loose it.
If you want my bet on what that is, it will be a major war.
"Soar" is a strong word when you consider they were higher less than a week ago. Can't wait for the next thing he says to drop the market before the weekend so his boys can get in on the next pump and dump. He literally tweeted "NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY" right before he paused the tariffs.
I guess y'all think 90 days is enough time for China to back down and for all of your manufacturing and supply chain to spin up?
He could change his mind on a fart tomorrow.
Farce.
Can’t wait to see the demands for DEI removal from sovereign nations to avoid tariffs. Or more energy blackmail.
🖕
I wouldn't be surprised if the US moron brigade demands from African nations that they shouldn't hire black people anymore.
Africa can do itself a favor by expelling all the American Christians that were there writing some of the laws for some of the countries.
Penguins 1 - USA 0
The market reaction is dumb. 90 days bus very little for companies to adapt when years are needed.
I think this but it's just the people seeing his tweet immediately before he lifted the restrictions.
Looks like we are still heading for recession and Treasury bills interest is still jumping up.
One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.
The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.
The vibe I get is that most elites really don't want to believe the president could be dumb, because that means they could be too. Elites own and/or work with a lot of stocks, and that extends to their investing decisions.
So they figure, sure, it must just be a 4D chess bluff.
I agree this is just market euphoria. We have a lot of systemic issues that have been exacerbated and/or entirely created by Trump.
The core problem is Trump full stop. He is sitting in the White House with nothing but “Yes” men in his cabinet. It’s only a mater of time until he releases his next scheme on the market.
Have we forgotten that he has done this each month since he was Inaugurated?
He crashes the the stock market with talk of tariffs. The wealthy buys options on the decline, and buy on this massive dip, and in a few days, HitlerPig announces that the countries on his list have responded to his tariff threats, so he is postponing them for a month or so.
The stock market recovers a bit, and the wealthy will make fortune. In a month, he'll do it all over again. This was thebthird cycle since Inauguration.
It's deliberate market manipulation.
It I not ~~illegal~~ Market Manipulation if the president does it
Thos whole thing is so fucking stupid.
Like the majority of muricans
as a 'merican... i feel that
but also I'm Lakota and I'm fucking laughing
Speaking from experience in Canada, the 90 days is meaningless. Welcome to the dance of constant tariff threats every two weeks only to backpedal when the market crashes.
He does not have the attention span to wait 9 days let alone 90. This man is a toddler with a flamethrower having a tantrum.
I'm getting really tired of the media misrepresenting reality. Stocks are still down compared to a year ago.
Still down compared to a month ago, but the post was a few days ago where there was one short upward trend for like a couple hours.
*Global stocks soar as Donald Trump pulls a dump & pump scam with all of his billionaire buddies.
For 90 days, if he can resist changing it again that long.
I'm also pretty confused about how Canada and Mexico fit into this, because they said we're included in the rollback to 10%, but we weren't in the original "liberation day" tariffs in the first place.
90 days to save up your hard earned money so you can buy the dip again...and again...and again. This is what the old shit stain is doing.
35% Tarriffs on eu/Asia and 104% Tarriffs on China is still a recession. Other countries arent removing their Tarriffs
The only positive thing this did was show that Trump is weak, so hopefully he'll stay at these rates and maybe he'll be out by the end of the year
Not specifically directed at OP, but I am sick of those truncated graphs.
Also, fuck Trump. Not in a goof way.
From the article:
The commerce secretary added on X that he and Treasury secretary Scott Bessent “sat with the President while he wrote one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency”
Next time I'm feeling down, I'll just remember that someone felt the need to post on Xitter that he helped Trump write down his best posts on some shit social.
The normalisation of that insane shit is something the mass media has to bear a large portion of the responsibility for.
Are investors idiots? He's just going to change his mind again in three days
Tbf, all these headlines miss that indexes like the S&P 500 are still far down from pre-tariff-mania. Investors are more or less updating their views for how screwed the markets are, rather than betting that everything is fine.
Isn't the 10% still active? This is the oldest negotiation strategy in the book..
Are we sure this wasn't a pump and dumb scheme by the administration?
Trump literally said "it's a great time to buy".
So, yes, it is definitely a pump and dump, but it's not only a pump and dump.
... Meanwhile, the bond markets are continuing to freak the fuck out, and the yield curve has now inverted and univerted three times before an actual 'official' recession has begun.
For those that don't know, a yield curve inversion is when short term bonds offer a higher yield (interest rate) than long term bonds.
That... it not how that is supposed to work.
Generally speaking, a longer term bond should be riskier due to the amount of things that can possibly go wrong in that longer amount of time, as compared to a shorter term bond that pays itself back in less time, with less time for unforseen nonsense to happen.
Every single US official recession in the last ... 50, 100 years? has occured after first, the yield curve inverts, then it uninverts, and then an 'official' recession follows quite rapidly.
....Except fucking now.
Now we are in a situation where the yield curve has inverted then uninverted three fucking times without an 'official' recession actually starting.
This is unprecedented.
As of right now, the 6 month T Bill and the 5 year T Bond have roughly the same yield, and everything in between has a lower yield, the lowest point being the 2 yr.
... Its supposed to be basically a line going upward on the y axis of yields, as you move rightward on the x axis from shorter to longer term debt/bonds.
The bond market right now is more or less saying we are gonna be in for 2 years minimum of economic decline.
Trump's gonna default on the bonds and the debt to try to reset everything. Ya'll are fucked.
The casino model of doing business except in this case the “license to print money” is literal. No one can screw it up, right? Nah, let’s declare bankrupt and stiff all our creditors, and our debt will be taken care of. Smart. Business. Move
Oh boy all this uncertainty is surely good for their precious economy.
Here's a headline. Donald trump orchastrates a stock market crash. Uses his social media company to signal the buy, and release the tariff news. Insiders and truth social followers get rich as markets pump 10% immediately after tweet is released.
Dead cat bounce is a real thing. At best its just increased volatility, which is not good.
This is kind of funny tbh
Backs down for a few days Also I'm mad that Tesla is up at 272 now from 221 earlier this morning
As if anyone is going to start buying Elon's crap cars again just because Trump suspends some tariffs.
The four major indexes are still down 5 to 30% from yoy average rn.
That’s why the orange toupee said that they were wining millions a day… buy the dip, sell the rip
