Summary
Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday after a surge in bond yields, triggering sharp criticismāeven from Fox News.
Fox Businessā Charlie Gasparino said the administration ācapitulatedā due to market pressure, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 4.5%.
Japan, not China, reportedly dumped U.S. bonds, worsening financial instability.
Despite no trade deals, Trump tried to claim a āwinā and announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countriesāexcept China, which now faces tariffs up to 125%.
I was wondering if thatās what he was doing. Is there a word for the reverse of a pump and dump? It seemed almost too obvious.
It doesnāt matter if itās obvious. Itās an āofficial actā, and the Tribunal of Six has decided that if itās an āofficial actā, whatever orangeboi says, goes.
Oh, he definitely wonāt see any consequences. He just made rich people richer. The rich only see consequences when they take money from other rich people.
Shorting
Shorting is a legit thing though. There isnāt another phrase for a clearly illegal version?
Yeah. Insider trading.
