It has been boosted by government spending and big Tech. At the expense of smaller private business and higher crippling interest rates that don’t affect the wealthy.

The more uncertainty he creates with tariff zig zags and soft payroll data, the more money moves out of equities and into US Treasuries. Which brings interest rates down.

A lower 10 year yield and mortgage rate benefits lower and middle class Americans….much moreso than a higher NVIDIA price.

Get rates and the Fed on a path to low to mid 3 percent on the 10 year. Also take comfort in the fact that there is both a Fed put (they can lower rates a shit ton to boost economy if needed) and a Trump put (there is an inflection point where rates are low enough and he will say uncle on soft economic data).

The housing market will boom again….which is the biggest driver of small business and broad economic activity. Higher rates has frozen both the sales of existing homes and the construction of new ones.
 
Believe you are at least partially correct and likely totally correct. Imo, slowly deflating a stock market that has been propped up in part by printing money and allowing it to recover naturally while easing interest rates makes much more sense than to continue blowing up the balloon until it pops. Imo, he's trying to thread a needle while balancing on a high wire right now.

His treasury secretary is one of the most respected financial dudes in history. Specifically made is hay betting on trends in global money-flows and currency valuations = an expert in what will move the needle economically in a longer term and more sustainable way.

AND he worked for George Soros!! Guy is a genius!!! However, isn't Soros the anti-Christ to right-wingers? Good to see irony isn't dead.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that “access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American Dream”

Soros is the anti-Christ. But an undisputed super successful one at that. The issue with him is how he spent his money. Not how he made it.
 
Wait till Trump nullifies Bessent's marriage.

I guess we don’t do any research here. You just assume boom. He was the first president entering office approving of gay marriage. He actually approved of gay marriage before Obama and Biden. 🤦‍♂️. Hard to believe but true
 
He's a genius! As long as he doesn't waffle on tariffs, drive us into a recession/depression and gets all the minerals from Ukraine for eternity with no protection guarantees.

Intentionally softening the stock market????


Wow. This board never fails to deliver.

I stand by it. The 10 year yield is much more important to more sustainable and broad based economic growth.....not to mention affordability for more Americans.

Listening to Bessent and Lutnick interviews the last 24 hours only makes me more convinced that they are looking to move markets with words.

I'll qualify it by saying "to an extent." There is a level of pain in the equity markets they aren't willing to endure.....which is why it is probably a good buying opportunity on these dips. There is a Trump put as well as a Fed put.
