{quote} I don’t think he even needs his billionaire friends to pitch in. Trumps view of the economy is how well the stock market does. It does see every time the market is going down a bit he has to pump some optimism.
Seemingly, an attempt to pad the stats a bit before the next action breaks things down again.

The problem is that the markets just told him how much (aka, little) they "believe" his comments. It's like the reverse TACO trade....almost a TACO fade.

Monday's "pause" was good for 250 pts in the /es before it started fading. This round was 75 pts and nearly all of it was given back before the close. /cl had nearly a 5 pt range to the downside and recovered all but $0.60.

The tariff TACO trades used to be big DOWN moves on his threats...then less and less...so he had to make bigger and bigger threats for the markets to believe him. Now, the markets are making smaller and smaller positive moves on his "optimistic" tweets because, well, a 10 day pause of blowing up energy facilities doesn't do much to combat the fact that bombs are still being sent from Iran toward every other Gulf country....not to mention the fact that the world seems to have come to the realization that Trump INTENDS to push the military action further.

No way I'm believing Iran asked for mercy. Almost certainly it was his billionaire buddies that got tired of watching the market go down that ordered Trump to TACO.

He's desperate to prevent a black Friday event.
Trump and the mullahs and the ayatollahs and the sheikhs are all on the same page, in one important way: they know the war is bad for business. Taking potshots at and wholesale destruction of refineries, gas fields, etc etc - that is all a bit much. God's Chosen People may feel differently. The Christofascist crusaders in Hegseth's Pentagon, yeah them too. They would fight it out til Armageddon. But, as usual - follow the money. The big bucks will call the shots. That's why I think Trump will try to wind it down and declare victory, and the sooner the better. And avoid further stock market slides. He has his legacy to think of. Maybe, still possible, who knows, a Nobel Prize. So, yes, I will call it - we will see new ath's in US stock indices b4 the end of April. So load up.

If the Islamic terrorists of Iran had any balls, they are firmly in the grip of Trump.
47 years of preparation and they are twisting in pain like biches that they truly are.

Another Taco announcement bought a few hours of reversal in the downtick of US indices. The silly blather is losing its power to move the markets at all, so long as all the various catastrophic effects on commodities are still happening. Meanwhile, Trump supposedly "mulling" sending 10,000 more ground troops to Iran. Trump no doubt being advised that he can conquer Iran and be the new Shah.

Stocks down only a bit over 5%....plenty more room below.

The Iran mullas are definitely negotiating.
Their usual cyber rattling tone has become muted because they know they have to cower to US in order to survive.

Now their focus is to make sure that they keep the public from uprising. They have increased the check points and are constantly searching people and their phones, using electronic surveillance, finding and confiscating Starlink devices and of course arresting many people on a daily basis.
They regularly intimidate the public by marching their machine gun mounted trucks through the streets to remind people what awaits them if they protest.
At the check points they always makes sure the traffic is backed up because they know it is less likely they will be targeted from air if ordinary people are present around them.
They are have moved their weapons inside schools, mosques and gyms and are using them as their bases.

The mofo's know they can't stand up to US but they can massacre the unarmed people of Iran.
Rats will always be rats.

See them in action and their choice weapons that they use against their own people:

That's true too but just in case Trump decides winning a war is more important than the market I think there are people in the background who could JFK Trump if their money is in jeopardy.

I see the Ukrainian’s have taken out 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity in recent days… quite a few significant strikes recently. Vlad should lay off the assistance he’s given to the Iranian regime.

Oh yeah it's obviously going to be faded again and the weekend is looking like another big move on the cards. All we can do is watch and see.

When, in a real war, the opponent asks for a truce to catch their breath and is generously granted it? Only in a war between friends!

Do you know how much money is made from tweets like this and that countries make money from them, especially the USA, since Trump came to power, he can take a lot of money from other state banks and people?

He's desperate to prevent a black Friday event. Because maybe he knows black Monday is coming.

He knows he lost the leverage to this war. It has him reckless to the point, he doesn't even care that everyone knows he's posting lies to manipulate markets. He's probably laughing out loud to the market reactions.

Look at all the morons in here who think money can only be made in a bull market. You guys should not be trading. You all must be losing copious amounts of money because it's the same people complaining on evey board every day.
