'The U.S. dollar headed for its worst start to a year since 2008 on Tuesday while world stock losses, already the biggest in six weeks, grew after widespread protests against President Donald Trump's stringent curbs on travel to the United States.

Investors' hopes for a fiscal boost to the world's largest economy under Trump have been tempered by controversial and protectionist policies that have seen him suspend travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries.'

Only Day 11 of the new Presidency and more reaction caused by the alt-left destabilization activity?

Worst year since (say it isn't so) 2008! This too shall pass. :yawn:

Sorry, I am getting bored with all the sky-is-falling outrage. :coffeepap:

Rumor is that on the hill, the republicans are fighting his tax cuts. This is not what wall street wanted to hear. Stocks are going down a bit. Short term stuff. If the president continues to do what he says he will do, I believe this will all bounce back up.

I didn't see anything about 'the sky falling' in the article.

But whatever.
 
Where did the article say anything about 'the sky falling'?

It simply stated the facts as they pertain to this subject.

Markets HATE uncertainty. Trump is bringing on TONS of uncertainty and the markets are reacting accordingly.

No sky falling...so long as he stops doing things that cause uncertainty and/or protectionism.

No. :no:

People over-reacting, State and Federal officials acting with partisan hackery, MSM false and/or alarmist reporting, and every Alt-Left SJW activist acting like the world is "2.5 minutes away from Doomsday" is doing everything they can to destabilize the nation and delegitimize someone who has only been in office for 11 days is what is causing TONs of uncertainty. :yes:

Agree with his policies or not, Mr. Trump is merely acting to keep his promises. :shrug:

Yeah...and his promises of protectionism and xenophobia are TERRIBLE for world trade and the markets will not like it.

The markets were originally happy because all they heard Trump talk about was the massive spending increases - which markets LOVE.

But as soon as he started his protectionism and now xenophobia and now this firing - it all creates instability...the markets HATE that.

Markets don't care about election promises and him keeping them (why would they care about that?)...they care about what is going on right NOW and what that will mean for the future.

And right now, Trump is making the future look increasingly unstable. Sure it could pass. Or it could continue. That's mostly up to Trump.

That's not me talking, that's the markets.

You have a problem with it - take it up with them.

So it's all about uncertainty. Such is the world market.

Wait till this EO hits the airwaves.

Yeah Wall Street doesn't like change. Trump's talk about tariffs and shutting down trade agreements will NOT be looked at kindly by WS...

Your entire response makes my point. None of the bolded was mentioned in either citation. That IS YOU talking.

YOUR :spin: is a prime example of the real activity causing this "destabilization."

The markets IMO are concerned about rebellious Federal government officials (like the party hack AAG who was properly fired) who refuse to adhere to their oaths of office and obey lawful Executive Orders.

The markets IMO are concerned about partisan governors and state attorney generals (cough cough see Jay Inslee & Robert Ferguson) trying to make a name for themselves by acting like representatives of rogue nations dividing the country.

The markets are concerned IMO by MSM scare tactics, acting out against Trump's disdain of their clear political bias by report EVERYTHING in the very worst possible light, often ignoring or in disregard of complete facts. All designed (like the best propaganda) to shape public opinion in opposition to their enemy.

I could go on and on, but one thing is also true. Markets go up and down, and if people would stop acting to destabilize this nation in faux outrage at not getting their way this past election, the dollar would "stabilize" fairly quickly again as well. :twocents:

You just proved that you have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what fires the markets.

My 'spin' was not a spin...it was relaying what those who are in the investment business are saying.

I have been an investor for over 20 years...and none of them give a crap (that I have EVER heard) about rebellious government officials or MSM scare tactics (they see through the nonsense - it is their/our job to) or political bias...they just want to make money for themselves and their clients.

You are wasting my time...I knew I should not have commented about your post - which is why I deleted it.

Go believe whatever you wish...but from what you say above; you do not understand macroeconomics.


We are done here.

Good day.


And once again...I despise both parties.

Actually the weaker the dollar the better the export opportunities. Let the dollar drop a bit. Same with the market. Call it a retracement opportunity.

perception becomes reality

will be interesting to see if the market continues to eclipse the 20K indicator

Trump is a freakin disaster and each day proves that only too clearly.

the market does like change - if it is change in the market's interest
things like reduced corporate taxes, and eliminated regulations

but it does move against change that tends toward chaos and unpredictability

Yup...but this place is hopping with all kinds of stuff.

It's kind of fun...until you realize it's not a nightmare...Donald Trump REALLY is the most powerful man in the world.

Maybe I should have voted after all...even if Clinton is a worthless piece of crap. At least she is a sane, worthless piece of crap.

;)

the only reason that compelled my vote for her; that he would not be the one making the supreme court nominations

That's a pretty long-winded way of making a simple plea:

You don't get much more chaotic then having the POTUS threatening a trade war with 4 of our biggest partners, China, Europe, Canada and Mexico. Right now I'm guessing WS thinks it's all bluster and bluffing on Trump's part. But if he is serious, then look out. Make sure none of your money is anywhere near the DOW.
 
Well...that's almost a cent lost in under 5 hours.

Trump had better learn to cut back on the tweets every time he gets an urge or at this rate, gas might be $8/gallon by the end of the week.

;)
 
I find it strange that a billionaire businessman with companies that extend worldwide is so protectionist, you'd think he would be doing the opposite since his own businesses thrive on being part of the world economy.

There has to be an evil plan that we are just not seeing.

It will show itself sooner or later.

Doesn't that make US products seem cheaper to foreigners ? Is that what China was doing for the last 8 years ?
