Why financial markets likely triggered Trump’s tariff pause

Donald Trump says he is raising tariffs on China to 125% "effective immediately".

But in a significant reversal, the US president has frozen all other tariffs at 10% for 90 days, leading stocks to rally.

Sky News' Gurpreet Narwan explains what has been happening in the markets since President Trump's announcements on tariffs.

Judging the one month screen they're using looks roughly about a .5 drop, now pan out and show the bigger picture like for the year. I'm sure it'll tell a different story.

Whoever is buying and selling like mad in both nations is the culprit

Telling everybody, on his public account, that it's a "good time to buy" is the opposite of insider trading.

Even Tesla climbed 22% in the last fews days... Wonder how many people have made a killing over these tarrifs lol

The plan
Raise tariffs

He cancels the tariffs

He just keeps scamming.

With countries selling Bonds (us treasury bonds) indicates the us must pay these countries for the holding of these Bonds - MONEY the us Does NOT HAVE - stupid, flip flopper, current us president megalomaniac.

[ČhetaŋWitko]

He paused them because he got the responce he wanted, and that was for these countries to start négociations on lowering/dropping their tariffs. "Trump is the Master of the Deal!" 😂 🇺🇲👍💯♥️

Last month we didn't have tariffs on China goods. Now we have 125% tariffs on all the goods China sells to us. That is big money in our pockets. Also, it's the traders that pay not the consumer -- they can't raise prices because then they wouldn't be competitive. China can't NOT pay the tariffs because their economy relies 100% on US consumer base. China will be looking for an off ramp and I look for Trump to give them one to help them save face in the coming days.
