Even with the “bad” trade news markets have been basically flat the last 2 days. This tells me that either 1) everyone is either holding back from trades, 2) 1 or 2 majors are trading against a lot of retail, or 3) #s for/against the china stuff are pretty balanced.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Of course, by definition, markets achieve a balance between buyers and sellers.
I think the BUYERS--at least some of us--are people who think TRUMP WILL WIN THIS TRADE SKIRMISH (China will "Blink" first) ... and in the long run this much-overdue confrontation with China (aka, the commie scumbags who are our greatest strategic foe) is VERY GOOD FOR AMERICA.
The negative nabobs include a bunch of globalists who couldn't care less what is good for America, or are actively opposed to American sovereignty.
President Trump is the only politician who states the OBVIOUS TRUTH, that if we give up our manufacturing and our Intellectual Property, then AMERICA WILL EVENTUALLY BE FORCED TO CAPITULATE MILITARILY TO THE COMMUNISTS.
Once again, President Donald J. Trump is attempting to save America.
