Nah, still a war between US and the rest of the world - just delayed by 3 months.It's still a tariff war between America and China. Trump raised the tariff rate to 125% on Chinese imports, 84% tariffs on US imports, I hope you guys didn't dump everything on Monday.
reduced a couple of ( in my opinion ) over-priced gold stocks and bought some under-priced steel stocks ( just in case there is a shooting war or military build-up )It's still a tariff war between America and China.

In order to give insiders time to position themselves accordingly before another surprise?Nah, still a war between US and the rest of the world - just delayed by 3 months.
China v USA is the main fight now.Nah, still a war between US and the rest of the world

It's the same play he had with Canada.

I'm wondering if they have not yet got the systems in place, to monitor and execute all the different tariffs, it would be a logistical and administration nightmare.This. Going to be an interesting 3 months.
My spidey sense says we're going to see markets kind of collectively hold their breath basically just waiting for every press release and interview and hanging on every word trump or his trade reps say.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that things like economic data, the fed etc even exist at the moment.
Nope, I was toying with TQQQ calls but didn't pull the trigger.Meanwhile, my 525, 510 and 495 buys are looking pretty good at the moment (not that I was expecting them to be).
Had anyone else actually bought yet?
Just read a post on twitter talking about metaphorical bullets the americans could fire without causing a tremendous amount of self harm and someone brought up the amount of U.S treasuries held by china and how the yanks could, if they so chose, just default on them.
As in default on the debt held by china and china alone.
Very good point. Government moves slowly despite Trump wishing otherwise.I'm wondering if they have not yet got the systems in place, to monitor and execute all the different tariffs, it would be a logistical and administration nightmare.
Validating which imports came from which country and what excise is applied from which departure date, they couldn't apply the excise to containers or produce that was shipped prior to the announcement, I wouldn't think.
My guess is the 90 days is to get the processing protocols, prodeedures and monitoring up to speed.
leaving the tariffs on China, would mean they to only have to currently deal with imports from one source, which they may already be able to handle and China is the main focus.
