2 hours into the trading day?

Look, there's a few ways of looking at this and we don't have the inside knowledge to know the exact reason. Trump, or his closest aides leak out misinformation, forcing the market up after a drop from yesterday. Then, short the market and Trump announces huge, broad tariffs and the market tanks tomorrow.

It just seems strange that people who know so much about investments would let this up and down uncertainty to continue unless they had the inside information from day to day.
