As pointed out by some, the US benefits from imposing tariffs so it was a buying opportunity. I did buy the S & P at the time and have some healthy gains. Even demoncrapic billionaires along with their alliance with the fed have failed to roil the president so that is now over as well. The next step is an interest rate cut which will make the markets go higher. Short term interest rates are the highest in the US right now, even higher than 5 year rates so that means the fed is reducing liquidity. This is good if you hold the $. All central banks should be abolished and interest rates traded in the open market so we don't get this wrangling going on.
