All the noise in the markets especially currencies moving in favor of USD don't make sense.
America is making goods cost more for their own local customers. With reduced demand in US and foreign suppliers now looking for alternative customers in new markets this is good because everyone around the world can move away from the dependency of the US in terms of consumers and value.
In all seriousness, Trump has just undone decades of polical foundational work laid by their predecessor leaders... and illustrate to other countries that US is no friend as they only care for a benefit to themselves.
This in turn will get countries thinking more closely about their own fiscal policies and defensive strategies as the US is no longer dependable.
A regular free trade deal takes about 3 months to lock in smoothly once presidential talks have concluded between leaders so... he just made things worse for his own country.
US made a mistake a while ago by thinking they could move manufacturing overseas to cheaper countries not knowing those countries would better manufacturing processes and work their way up the ladder and improve designs of products and ultimately produce better products.
All in all, the market is panicking now... but be sure this is a buy on the dip situation for everything... it's a full on fire sale!
