Futures tanking big time.

1. The 10-year is zipping higher

Just the opposite of what Dump and Bessent wanted. Supposedly.

Total incompetence. Something is broken.

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. I think that reflects the abject fear of investors in the current stock market.

But this will lead to higher interests for the USG and anyone wanting a loan to buy a car, grow a business, send your kids to school.

[Loverboyoh]

2. I'm so confused

Do we want the market to tank or do well?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Welcome to DU, but I think your question may be more troll than genuine, the way it was asked

I'm so confused
Do we want the market to tank or do well?

[Loverboyoh]

4. Legit question

Is it better for the markets to tank now or do well?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Define "better".

[JoseBalow]

11. 100% troll

Not even trying

[obamanut2012]

16. Seriously

[True Dough]

26. He's a loverboy, not a fighter!

[Woodwizard]

28. Yeah 3 day account.

[mahina]

8. ok. Welcome to DU

[Emile]

13. I want a market without volatility, like we had under President Biden.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. Welcome to DU

[Loverboyoh]

6. What would you be happier with?

A good market or one that tanks? Simple question, one or the other.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. If you are going to ask a potentially disruptive opinion question, it is courteous to answer it yourself first

That is, state your opinion and then ask the non-factual opinion question.

What would you be happier with?
A good market or one that tanks? Simple question, one or the other.

[Hornedfrog2000]

9. A good market

Its just the guy in the whitehouse works for putin, and he doesnt want it to do well. So who we are is something maybe you should define

[JoseBalow]

10. Just asking questions?

I'm just asking

[Emile]

12. Hello

[B.See]

14. My answer would be

if it brings discredit to a rabble rousing grifter bigot dictator wanna be, a fascist who wants to deport US citizens, remove judges who disagree, inflict the cost of tariffs on the citizenry, silence the press, erase Black people from history, and destroy democracy at the bidding of Putin, all to the joy of ecstatic Russian journalists who want to erect a statue in honour of the Felon,

then yes, I want to see the market tank, along with all his wealthy enablers, okay?

[EndlessWire]

24. You left out Women.

One important half of the human race. We are not property, as the Orange Turd would have you believe. He hates Women, too. He even erased the word "woman" as an acceptable word.

Women should close their legs to repubs everywhere. Maybe for 90 days, at least.

[B.See]

25. I agree wholeheartedly.

Though women comprise many of those I cited as victims of Trump's/maga's policy of hate, they deserve special mention because of what has CLEARLY been a systematic right winged assault upon the rights of women in particular, which has been the subject of many of my threads, long before my arrival here at DU.

My apologies.

[MichMan]

17. Some people revel in the misery of others

As long as there is political gain to be had, unemployment, homelessness, hunger and poverty is just collateral damage.

[B.See]

22. I doubt that a tanking stock market

would immediately result in "unemployment, homelessness, hunger and poverty" and CERTAINLY not to the extent that a Trump dictatorship will, and already HAS. And that's not counting all the other horrors his occupancy portends.

So maybe the condemnations should be saved for those responsible for tanking the stock market, sabotaging Social Security, removing millions of Americans from healthcare, refusing free school lunch programs, opposing student debt relief, sabotaging the CFPB, the CDC, FEMA, etc., blocking science based health advisories while dispensing medical quackery, rolling back laws protecting our communities from pollution, and potentially bringing death to many millions more, worldwide, by the heinously unscrupulous ending of world food aid programs... for starters.

[Nixie]

19. The market was good. Then it tanked. What happened?

[EndlessWire]

23. I'm confused, too.

I don't speak stock market. Whatever is happening, I don't think it can be now fixed just because tariffs were partially paused. All people will do is move their money.

[JCMach1]

18. From today you start worrying about liquidity

Take some cash and just put it in your wallet today.

[Jit423]

20. If anyone thinks this chaos is good for our future economy I'll say this:

Once consumers stop buying many stop for good. In our system, actually, government has been the biggest job maker ever. Private sector depends bigly on the government jobs and government purchasing that domino into our economy from mom & pop stores to weapons manufacturers, airlines, social services, state government employment, tourism, and the building industries. COVID taught many that they could do without a lot of "things" and we will never go back to those vulnerable habits again.

We, unlike our current administration and much of the world are planning for the next outbreak of a disaster pandemic. If you are not, you are not paying attention. Just look at who are running things now.

[Wuddles440]

29. Exactly, but most seem...

oblivious to these consequences!
