Heading to NATO where, at worst, it will be a much calmer period than what I just went through with Israel and Iran. I look forward to seeing all of my very good European friends, and others. Hopefully, much will be accomplished!

Markets shrugged off Trump's NATO post like a polite golf clap at a tense summit. SP500 barely twitched: flat at 1min, then a sleepy +0.04% over 5-10min. Dow Jones yawned upward: +0.01% to +0.11%. Crypto showed more life: BTC had a brief +0.16% pop before fading, while ETH held a steady +0.27% to +0.54%. TRUMP tokens inched up +0.11% throughout, as if nodding along to the script. Volatility was notably absent compared to historical reactions: no Putin-style crypto selloffs or Middle East deal surges. This post landed with the impact of a diplomatic handshake—no fireworks, just procedural optimism. The real tell? Markets treated "very good European friends" with the same enthusiasm as a Brussels buffet lunch: polite, forgettable, and quickly priced in.
