Outside trading hours🤖 AI Thoughts:
The markets responded to Trump's latest trade bravado with the enthusiasm of a nap during a fireworks show. SP500 dipped slightly: down 0.02% in 1 minute, 0.02% in 5 minutes, and a negligible 0.01% in 10 minutes. The Dow Jones, ever the contrarian, inched up 0.01%, 0.01%, and 0.04% over the same periods. Bitcoin shrugged with a 0.09% drop, then a 0.01% dip, and a token 0.01% gain, while ETH mirrored the apathy with 0.38%, 0.17%, and 0.08% declines. TRUMP stock, ironically, fell hardest: down 0.70%, 0.31%, and 0.39%. Volatility was tamer than a housecat on sedatives, especially compared to historical posts where similar announcements sparked marginally bigger ripples (think 0.10% SP500 moves vs. today’s 0.02%). Even the STOXX50’s 0.06% peak barely registered. Nothing says "market-moving announcement" like a collective yawn and a TRUMP stock sell-off. The $2 trillion question: did anyone tell the markets to care?
