The market is torn between two powerful forces — Trump’s tariff shock and global liquidity optimism. Tariffs could reignite inflation and pressure supply chains, prompting defensive trades. Yet, central banks’ easing bias and renewed liquidity injections may overpower policy noise, keeping the AI and semiconductor rally alive in the short term.

With ASML, TSMC, and Nvidia reaffirming strong AI demand, this earnings season could bring more upside surprises, especially if profit margins hold despite higher input costs. However, weaker consumer or financial results may remind investors that growth is uneven.

Selling calls makes sense only for those seeking to lock in gains amid high volatility, as the VIX spike lifts option premiums. For long-term bulls, staying partially hedged while riding the AI trend might offer the best balance between protection and participation.
