Under the “Delay + Threat” Combo, Where Will Trump’s Tariff Lead?
Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump once again postponed the long-anticipated tariff announcement originally scheduled for July 9, pushing the new deadline to August 1. However, in parallel, he escalated his tariff rhetoric, issuing warning letters to numerous countries. This “delay + threat” strategy has further strengthened the market’s belief in the “TACO” logic — Trump Always Chickens Out. Yet at the same time, it also deepens the uncertainty surrounding future tariff actions. Are these moves signs of negotiation compromise, or part of a larger, calculated strategy? Opinions are now sharply divided. Tariff Delays Accompanied by Aggressive Letters As the July 9 deadline approached, Trump announced the new tariff implementation date would be delayed to August 1 — despite repeated clai

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla’s fundamentals no longer justify its valuation. Q2 deliveries missed expectations, margins are under pressure from relentless EV price cuts, and Elon Musk’s increasing political entanglements are adding unnecessary reputational risk. The so-called robotaxi rollout is still vaporware with no regulatory approval in sight, and the AI narrative is already priced in. Technically, the stock’s hovering just below resistance at $311–$318 — a clear double top from earlier this month. Smart money is quietly rotating out of Tesla and into lower-multiple, cash-generating tech names. If you’re holding TSLA at these levels, you’re betting against gravity.

Is Jerome Powell Resigning? Will Big Banks Benefit?
🌟🌟🌟The US Big Banks are set to report earnings this week amid rumours that the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is under pressure to resign due to a lavish USD 2.5 billion Fed HQ renovation. This could be a seismic shift in the financial world. With Trump pushing for lower interest rates with a new Fed Chairman, the stage is set for a dramatic pivot. JP Morgan, Citigroup, Well Fargo and Bank of America enter Q2 25 earnings with trimmed estimates, resilient trading desks and regulatory headwinds. But if a Trump aligned Chairman takes the reins and cut rates, the banks may do well.
