Y'all need to actually read the article instead of just using it to prove what you already believe. The world is more complicated than a headline
I sold 98% of mine.
now I'm diversified across Europe and Asia.
not great, but what choice do I have?
Shoots market in the dick
“Don’t worry folks, all part of the plan”
Puts bandages on market
“There, good as new”
I know that my quality of life is likely to tank in the coming years, and if it doesn't it is because I got lucky where others didn't, but damn is it hilarious seeing how fucking stupid centrist business bros and tech people are in the U.S. right now, they are JUST NOW realizing the boat is sinking, when only half of the boat is still above the water..... it is fucking hilarious honestly and I don't take joy in this happening, I mean I do, but I am not happy it is happening I am rather so sad that if I don't laugh about it all I will do is cry.
Fading? Shit's gone, dog.
They mean the rich fucks. Not me and you.
Google searches for stable foreign bonds skyrockets
God investors are dumb as shit
Investors are the problem?
I for one like stability when my money is involved, and most people do. Most arent looking for the roulette wheel experience. When you have an idiot wielding tremendous power to throw out trade agreements and to inadvertently or intentionally tank certain businesses and industries because they're significantly affected by tariffs, and from one day to the next they're added, removed, added again, increased, now decreased... that's not a place you want your money. And the government's where those businesses reside aren't stable either as their future taxes and revenue streams are hard to predict, so their bonds are dicey.
So what do you think investors should do? So what are you doing? Just crossing your fingers and rolling the dice? Got any major purchases coming up? Hoping to retire soon? If you lost your job how secure you feeling about getting another right now? Maybe invest in $TRUMP... I'm sure that will carry you.
Yeah the idea that NOW is when they fear confidence in America is fading means they're fucking morons. It should have been obvious after the first round of tariff bailouts in trumps first admin.
raises fear that confidence in America is fading
Just now that fear is being raised?
USD denominated bonds are by definition 100% exposed to the USD and it has been falling consistently (with but a single dead cat bounce) against other major currencies since Trump took over.
International investors are probably avoiding the Dollar (and hence Dollar-denominated assets) in favor of other currencies.
This would also explain why Gold keeps on beating records almost daily: it's sort of a "traditional" currency hence benefits from outflows from major currencies.
If this turns into the end of the Reserve Currency status for the USD, expect massive problems in the US with Inflation and servicing the massive US National Debt (if Treasury auctions have lower demand, Treasure yields have to go up in order to sell them, which is equivalent to say that interest rates on US Government loans go up).
