Proof of the intellectual depth of a "wet your finger and stick it in the air" policy.
Not even bothering to justify the calculation with a crude formula this time.

Trump is stupid.
What about the 77,302,580 Americans who voted him in?

Just asking.

Right? Bot infestation at its finest!

That aside, here we see the clear case of good cop, bad cop. Trump looks tough saying he wants to lower ("kindly") earlier this week. Info is floated of a 50% range. Now, he comes out before the talks and says "80%" but give Bessent rope to start negotiations.

Bessent gets to say: "as you saw yesterday, our president [aka bad cop] wants 80%....give us something big so I can go back to him and work that number down..."

Of course, NONE of this matters to us as (short term) traders because even if I told you "the final tariff on China will be a mix of 0%, 10%, and 30% on various goods....now put on a trade", you would have no way of knowing the market reaction. It is good theater, nothing more (at present).

Hopium is strong. Equity prices are still "cheap" for 5-10 year buy and hold accounts. Chop is likely coming for the next 1-3 months if 4/2 highs hold as resistance. Otherwise, a move back toward the highs on some good news will be met with any reality (pushing to new highs or pulling back significantly) was the July 4 "pushed tariff" date approaches.

Gotta give Trump one thing: he set the time frame of the pause up nicely to come off on Independence Day......or, at least to have another big news announcement that day. The only thing that would have made it better for his would have been if America were turning 250 years old this year instead of 249. Oh well.

Ironically, the current tariff rate on China is already well below 80% with all the carve-outs. I would guess the net rate at about 50-65%. For example, electronics are at 20% while various parts for machinery ranges from zero to 20% and these two things taken together are about 40% of net imports.

According to the many last weeks polls, it should be around 50 mill or some less, now....haha, but still a lot of billionaires, and die hard MAGA, and boneheads...(with IQ levels around their shoe numbers).!!

Donald Gump still dont get it, crawling more desperately around on the floor with his garbage book, "The Fart of the Deal" in his orange scull. China dont need your old tech cars or agri - products. Table has turned, and you now need their products, the dolls, even only 3 per kid, their clothes, Nike shoes (also Vietnam), the iPhones all made in China. You see, China makes your products far cheaper and with better quality. Xi and his team look at you humiliating yourself, then laughing and have plenty of time. Btw, today he is busy being a human shield for Putin in Red Square, supporting Putin who is trying to scare the Western world, with his 80 year old nukes. I guess if Gump did have more than only a few alive greys in his pumpkin scul, he could sit and handshake with Xi now, instead of Xi sending clear signals to Gump, and all, who he prefer to be friends to...But as most, he dont get it.
Now in the evening, and after the Red Square Parade, I think the two new best friends are cheering Vodka and maybe some terrible Chinese Baijio rice spirit, while they both laughing their gut out on Donald Gump crawling around on the floor trying to act tough on Xi....more and more soft in his approach. It has the opposite effect, Gump !

After all it's just a question of how much taxes he wants Americans to pay.
Considering the hole in the US's finances, it's probably not even enough.
