WTF Happened? DJIA Just jumped up almost 1800.

[MineralMan]

I'm seeing nothing in the news to trigger that.

[gab13by13]

1. I was about to post the same headline.

WTF. The S&P and Nasdaq are up higher yet.

[Bonx]

2. Dayum. Somebody knows something we don't yet.

[Nictuku]

3. Me too WTF?

Market Manipulation?

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Trump paused tariffs on most countries.

[MineralMan]

7. OK. That explains it. Thanks.

[Scrivener7]

5. 90 day pause on non-retaliatory countries. But wait till they see that the major trading partners are still tariffed.

[dhol82]

9. Ability for more market manipulation

But only for a small window.
Bastards.

[Scrivener7]

14. Yep. And clearly none of the "non-retaliatory countries" approached him with any deals.

[wishstar]

6. Another rumor of 90 day tariff pause for non retaliating countries

that's only thing I've seen positive amidst the turmoil and doesn't seem very solid

[MineralMan]

11. "Buy the rumor!"

[Midnight Writer]

8. Trump and Co churning the market again. Announcing a softening of his tariff position.

This will last until the next wormtongue whispers in his ear. Who knows where his fickle mind will go next?

[MineralMan]

10. Well, that could turn right back around again. We'll see.

[belpejic]

12. It's disgusting that they can manipulate markets like this.

OTOH, it doesn't say much about Wall St. that they buy into all of this. They don't have to make decisions on capital spending in the manufacturing market over the next 5-10 years.

[thought crime]

13. This is how trump normalizes chaos

[yellowcanine]

15. Pump phase of pump and dump. Where is the damn SEC?

Some serious market manipulation being done by Trump and cronies. My guess is that Jared Kushner and Elon Musk are in the middle of it .

[MineralMan]

16. Yeah, could well be.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Yes, although I suspect he caved to Wall St., too.

Bezos, and all of the others who are getting reamed by this shit have likely been screaming in his ear. Folks shouldn't be surprised when we go through this bullshit again in 90 days.

[Lawjo]

28. What he has been doing to total market manipulation

He drives the market down with tariffs, his tech bros short everything, make billions

Pauses tariffs, market goes way up. again, his tech bros that are in the know make billons again

This has to be against the law

[LeftinOH]

17. There's no strategy here; chaos is the entire point.

[Polybius]

18. Perhaps I'm taking this the wrong way, but it sounds like you are disappointed

If I'm wrong, I apologize to you. It's just that as someone with stocks, I want it to keep going up.

[Tickle]

19. some people wanted a crash and confusion to get rid of rumpy NT

[Polybius]

24. Yes, I have seen a few posts here saying they want a crash

Obviously, I'm not one of them.

[MineralMan]

21. You are taking it wrong.

I have nothing invested in the market. I comment on the DJIA because it's the most common index people use to talk about the market.

It goes up and it goes down. When it acts strangely, like this afternoon, I want to know why. It signaled something before there was any news about it.

I got an answer. I made no judgement call at all about the fluctuation. It happened. It has now been explained. It's all just news.

[Polybius]

23. I apologize my friend

It' just that some people want a crash. I'm glad that you're not one of them.

[W_HAMILTON]

29. Kamala as president would have ensured it kept going up; Trump in office ensures it will be chaotic and a net negative.

[Thrill]

22. He caved. 90 Day Pause

He basically lost Trillions in the market and got nothing in return

[Polybius]

31. Sounds like another series from TLC

90 Day Fiancé.

[Mosby]

25. Dow is up 2,300 now. (6.08%)

Nt

[MineralMan]

26. Yes.

It's still very unstable, though. I wouldn't count on anything right now.

[JohnSJ]

27. The conman put a 90 day pause on tariffs on all countries who didn't retaliate.

He breaks it, then says I fixed it. Classic trump.

[madinmaryland]

30. This is just fucking insane. No one knows what they are doing.

Elect a clown. Get a circus. 🤡
