To The Moon

Trump's return to trade war rhetoric—30% tariffs on EU & Mexico (Jul 12), 35% on Canada (Aug 1)—isn't just political theater. This could reshape sector flows and trigger volatility in QQQ-heavy names.

📉 Likely Initial Market Reaction:

Short-term risk-off in consumer cyclicals, automakers, and industrials tied to global supply chains.

QQQ might wobble if semis/tech fear margin impact, though AI exposure cushions the fall.

Watch $TSLA, $GM, $CAT, and $DE for short setups or bear spreads.

🍔 “Taco Trade” in Trouble?

If tariffs disrupt Mexico-US logistics or supply, $AVAV, $KSU, and border-linked plays could see earnings downgrades.

Food & beverage inflation may return → potential short-term pop in $COST, $KR, or even commodity ETFs.

📈 But here's the real trade:

Defense, uranium, and reshoring ETFs like $XAR, $URA, and $PAVE could rally if protectionism returns.

Energy & agriculture (less tariff-exposed) could attract safe-haven rotation—watch $MPC, $CVX, $MOS.

🧠 Strategic Takeaway:

This isn't 2018. Markets may not price this in fully until implementation. Use this moment to prepare hedges, spot overreactions, and position in anti-globalization winners.
