Everything now is controlling how the financial markets (Dow Jones etc.) respond to the decoupling.
Step-by-Step Trump has been slowly been retracting, while simultaneously not losing overall market investment wealth.

What he’s looking for now is a firm $50 billion Ag purchase.
The carrot is a delay in the Dec 15th tariffs...

Yes if big tech can’t read the writing on the wall so be it. I think Tim Apple has got the message.

Tim Apple knows.... Hence Texas.

The question that interests me is whether the “deal is close” rhetoric is for the benefit of the Chinese or the domestic markets.
Tommy greggs
Good question.
I think it’s more for the Chinese but maybe both.
Our economy and market is so far stronger than the rest of the world’s , I believe Wall st has realized this.
There isn’t a close 2nd to the USA right now.
Trump has been a genius and his policies are awesome.
Tariffs getting hiked shortly?

Dec. 15th.... Unless Trump can seal a $50 billion farm purchase... then he might delay (for that benefit).
The $50 billion means the Dept. Of Ag, can stop their gap subsidies to farmers.....

Think I have seen North Korea ramping up posturing recently, something about “surprise for Christmas”. All so predictable as the captive proxy of the CCP that it is. Yep, Trump just wants a little GDP boost, nothing more. No tying of his hands, decoupling will continue.
Lots of American capital holding back to see how/where the deal settles.
Once USMCA signs, markets/economy will go even MORE gangbusters.
