Wow. Look what Trump has done: - 30-year Greek government bonds yielding 4.24% - 30-year US Treasuries yielding 4.87% Markets now regard Greece as a safer country to lend long term cash to than the US. The art of a bad deal?

Blag as much as you like about the ‘art of the deal’, the reciprocal tariff pause was more a case of the ‘art of war’ by the bond vigilantes. Bet the Bank of Japan offloaded a stack of Treasuries. Japan now at the front of the queue for a trade deal… https://t.co/Tyd1FTqODo

What made Trump suddenly pause reciprocal tariffs? My guess is that bond yields spiralling higher probably landed a message that he’d brushed off from tanking equities. It’s a chaotic way to conduct policy.

Another day with the FTSE 100 opening sharply down. Index is now down over 10% in five days, so in ‘correction’ territory. Going to be a volatility reporting season as companies guide on earnings impact of tariffs. Opportunities always emerge in tough markets though.

FTSE 100 slumps a massive -5.25% at open as markets continue to reel from President Trump’s trade war on the rest of the world.

Arguing the US should have a trade surplus, or balanced trade, with every individual trade partner is bizarre. It’s like a company insisting all is suppliers must become customers who give it as much business in return. No company would operate on that basis.

What Trump has just induced in the financial markets, makes the wobbles after Liz Truss’s min-budget frankly look like a vicars picnic compared to a Sex Pistols concert. Wealth destruction on a mammoth scale.
