The delivery of tariff policy has set up a very volatile stock market that allows insider cronies to front run Trump’s erratic shifts. This creates big holes both down and up.
Big bets emerge in options markets shortly before tariff shifts.

Among the Trump pronouncements is this one:
Trump just said that he will be looking at exempting certain US companies from tariffs. Reporter asks: “How will you determine that” Trump: “Instinctively”.
Jesus—Trump just said that he will be looking at exempting certain US companies from tariffs.
Reporter asks: “How will you determine that”
Trump: “Instinctively”.

Next Big tech has now successfully appealed to be exempt from China tariffs.
If somebody is trying to manufacture a laptop in the U.S., the components that they import are going to be tariffed at 145%. But if somebody simply makes the laptop entirely in China, they are fully tariff free? And this is all to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.?
How would you input a feasibility study to build a billion dollar automated factory in this environment? Will come to a screeching halt.

China has been preparing for this. China’s exports to the U.S. are flat over the past 13 years. China’s exports to the rest of the world are up +80% in that same exact period. China’s $400B of annual imports to the U.S represent ~10% of China’s exports, and less than 2% of its GDP. This isn’t a kill shot.
