Any form of uncertainty tends to lower the value of the markets. It indicates no long-term trend.

[dadgum]

Bingo!

[know.your.why]

Good! Global markets are inflated imho and it brings me joy to see this correction even if it is just market fear.

[Gaffer]

Good. Maybe I catch some on the way down. I never had the money to get some before.

[volare737]

True. but Trump’s announcement today putting actual numbers on his tariff plans, actually reduces some of the uncertainty—especially since the numbers were less than many expected.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey if tariffs are SO damn terrible how come other countries use it against us

[VanShuyten]

Gold and silver fall on Thursday.

[dadgum]

Ouch. How much and for how long?

[JerseyDvl]

Dow Futures are down over 800 pts, nearly 2%.
It’s just that much farther that it will rebound in the coming months.

[Captain Peter Blood]

What did you base that on, HOPE?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Stay strong Trump supporters! We need to put America first. Breaking unhealthy foreign entanglements will hurt at first - but long term independence and freedom are well worth the fight.

EXCELLENT!!

There is a rationale for tariffs on countries like China, that are enemies, and keep US products out with aggressive tariffs.

But why tariff countries like Australia? They are an ally, and we run a trade surplus with them.

You should ask why Australia levies high tariffs on the US, harming out exporters and US workers.

[rightwingcrazy]

This strikes me more like a temper tantrum than a panic.

[VanShuyten]

Pres. Trump is trying to rebuild a wartime-capable industrial capacity. He is curtailing inflationary spending while increasing the internal circulation of our productive wealth (tariffs are only a part of this) which will even out our wage differentiation and raise the standard of living. As our internal national wealth increases, the relative value of precious metals, in dollars, will decrease.

This will take many years, so make sure you vote for JD Vance for president twice.
