$S&P 500(.SPX)$  classic TACO trade. Trump is lifting the tariffs. Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress.

In the current Trump midterm election year (2026) and environment of rising risk aversion, the prevailing market strategy is a nuanced approach that leans towards a "buy the dip" mentality tempered with increased risk hedges like gold. The "TACO" trade is a key consideration for short-term market movements this week. The "TACO" trade, which involves buying stocks after a tariff announcement pushes them lower on the assumption President Trump will back down, may happen this week. Given the historical pattern and current market reactions, another "TACO" moment—a brief dip followed by a quick recovery—is highly anticipated this week.

He did it again. This morning on Truth Social, Trump dropped the hammer: 10% tariffs on EIGHT European countries starting February 1st, jumping to 25% by June 1st unless Europe finally gives him satisfaction on Greenland. Markets instantly puked: • Stoxx 600 futures -4.1% in the overnight session 😱 • DAX futures -4.8% • CAC 40 futures -5.2% • Nasdaq futures -3.4%, S&P futures -2.7% • Gold ripping to $2,678 (new weekly high) 🏆 • Silver +6.8% in 24 hours • 10-year yield back above 4.52% as tariff inflation fears return Classic Trump playbook — threaten the absolute maximum, watch everything burn for a few days, then declare victory and suspend it the moment he extracts any concession. We’ve seen this movie so many times the script is tattooed on our eyeballs: May 30, 2019 → Threatens 5%

This kind of Trump-driven risk-off usually burns hot but not long, because tariffs (and tariff threats) tend to be used as leverage, and markets quickly start pricing a “walk-back” probability. 1) How long will the sell-off last? Base case: 1 to 5 trading days of pressure, then either stabilisation or a partial rebound. Typical pattern: Day 0 to 2: Shock headlines, risk-off positioning, equities down, gold up, yields jump on inflation/tariff risk. Day 3 to 5: Markets “re-price” from panic to probabilities (how real, how enforceable, how much carve-out). Week 2 to 4: Either a relief bounce (if softening signals appear) or a grind lower (if policy actions actually start hitting data and earnings). If the administration formalises the tariff schedule and companies start guiding to margin hits

Sell-off with new tariffs may be another "tariffied" moment and presents buy-the-dip opportunity.

load of rubbish ... he is running usa like his biz which many went bankrupt .... while he is UNHURT

TACO taste good[Grin] Trump is building great America using old strategies However time change and the world become more cooperative as a whole Trump want to take over the N America and yes Canada is his target too[Facepalm] God bless Canada and the rest of the world Do you feel like what happen years ago that Russia invades Ukraine[Glance] But using modern weapons, ie finance tools Keep holding my SLV and shop with dip[Great]

🌟🌟🌟1 year into Trump 2.0 & the markets look like they have been strapped into a roller coaster ride nobody agreed to board. The S&P500 is up 16% but peel back the tortilla & you'll find the real filling: a market that has been yanked between sharp drawdowns & record highs like a TACO shell cracking under pressure. TACO man has just fired another round of tariff theatrics -10% to 8 European nations increasing to 25% if the Greenland deal does not  happen. Stocks took an express elevator down. Gold & Silver sprinted to new highs. US 10 year yields climbed. With US midterm elections in 2026, do you add risk, boost hedges or buy the dips? There is no right answer, only strategy that matches your temperament. I may do all 3. Buy IAU Gold ETF, continue to dance with ris

In this year in which trump has mid term elections. Trump is in a strong position and would need to create or manufacture a world event to keep people interested in his style of politics. This is highly negative to the stock market with further declines in $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ and $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ due to the reintroduction of tariffs on American public. This is likely to increase the value of bonds and decrease the value of equity markets

yes buy dip and gold

yes, Taco will happen again because it is trump. this is how trump way of presidency

Buy the dip? Not necessary. I always buy quality company, those with lots of cash and ROE more than 20%. Also, not everyone has huge cash to buy the dip - so those without a lot of cash to buy more, at least don’t panic sell when market is bad. Again, good company always re-bounce. Hang in there fellow investors!

Last week’s macro framework is still working this week, and Trump has kicked off yet another farce: he floated the idea of purchasing Greenland from Europe and also imposed tariffs on eight European countries that opposed him.​ The situation has become even more turbulent.Why Trump Threatened 11 Countries in Just Two Weeks: The Dollar on the Edge Tells the StoryThis is almost certainly not the last step in Trump’s external provocation, but it is very likely an important move within his broader foreign strategy.​Today, let’s take a little time to briefly discuss the logic behind the Greenland dispute.First, one point must be clarified: why is Trump deliberately stirring trouble in his own “backyard”?​ One day it’s Venezu

🐯 Trump Threatens New Tariffs: Will the Sell-Off Last? When Does TACO? 🌮📉 Trump is back to doing what markets know best: weaponizing uncertainty. Via Truth Social, Trump announced a 10% tariff on eight European countries starting Feb 1, with a threat to escalate to 25% by June 1 if a so-called “Greenland deal” isn’t reached. Markets reacted instantly — and predictably. Overnight: • 🟡 Gold & Silver hit fresh weekly highs • 📈 US 10-year yields moved higher • 📉 Equities sold off on risk-off positioning The key question now isn’t what Trump said — It’s how long markets take him seriously. ⸻ 🌪️ This Is Classic Trump Trade Volatility Trump tariffs historically follow a pattern: 1. Shock headline 2. Fast risk-off repricing 3. Negotiation signals 4. Walk-back / delay / exemption 5. Markets rec

Trump’s Tariff Gambit to “Buy” Greenland—What’s at Stake?Trump is clearly in full midterm-election mode—and since the start of the year, he’s delivered a new headline every week. First a strike on Venezuela, then brinkmanship with Iran, now talk of “buying” Greenland. Each move has jolted markets to some degree.The pattern is unmistakable: these regions matter because of what lies beneath them. Venezuela sits just 230 kilometers from U.S. shores and holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Its heavy crude perfectly complements refining capacity along the Gulf Coast.Greenland, though deep in the Arctic, is only 320 kilometers from Alaska—yet over 3,000 kilometers from Copenhagen. Geographically, it’s more America’s backyard than Denmark’s. And beneath its ice lie vast mineral deposits

A Trump-driven sell-off usually does not last very long in a straight line. Historically, it tends to follow a familiar rhythm: 1) How long does a Trump headline sell-off typically last? Base case: 1 to 5 trading days of sharp risk-off, then a rebound attempt. Why it often fades quickly: Markets “price the threat” first, then wait for walk-backs, exemptions, delays, or negotiations Businesses and allies push back fast behind the scenes Traders fade extremes once positioning gets crowded If escalation continues (new tariffs, retaliation, no off-ramp language), it can extend to 2 to 4 weeks, but usually with bounces in between. 2) The pattern: shock → pressure test → “relief rally” Most Trump-driven macro shocks trade like this: Initial shock (Day 0 to Day 2) Equities down, VIX up, gold up,

Wall Street's holiday hangover clears just in time for a packed short week that could flip year-end sentiment from festive cheer to frantic trades. With MLK Day shutting US markets Monday, the action crunches into Tuesday-Friday, where macro data clusters and Davos headlines collide to test tariff risks and Fed easing odds. Emerging markets like India's Nifty up 0.5% on dollar dips to 94 are glowing resilient, but Trump's potential Europe tariff push adds spice – could this spark 5% EM inflows or crimp global glow 2% if yields spike to 4%? Crypto clings to $85K support amid the drama, but cool PCE could rocket Bitcoin to $90K on risk-on flows. Gold's $4,503 record break shines as a haven, with silver's $66 highs riding industrial waves for diversification punch. Let's dive into the week's

Historical Impacts of Tariff Announcements on Market Volatility and Asset Classes Market Volatility and Equities President Donald Trump's tariff announcements have historically caused significant market volatility and sell-offs in equity markets. For instance: Initial Sell-off and Recovery: When President Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on April 2, 2025, it led to a market capitalization loss of approximately $6.6 trillion in the first two days, marking the largest two-day loss on record. The S&P 500 dropped 11% from early March to the end of April during a period when tariffs were unfolding. However, after a 90-day pause on the highest reciprocal rates was authorized on April 9, 2025, the market often rebounded quickly. The S&P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trus

Buckle up, folks—President Trump's classic trade tactics are unleashing chaos on markets once again, this time over his bold push to snag Greenland! 🇬🇱💥 With fresh tariffs slapping eight European powerhouses, we're diving into a rollercoaster of volatility that's got investors sweating and diplomats scrambling. But hey, history shows this drama often ends with deals, not disasters. Let's break it down step by step with the latest twists as of today. 📈😎 First off, the bombshell dropped on January 17: Trump hit Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland with a 10% tariff starting February 1, ramping up to a whopping 25% by June 1 unless a full Greenland acquisition seals the deal. Why Greenland? Trump calls it a national security must-have, eyeing its Arct
