Is Trump crashing the stock market on purpose??

In The Art of the Deal, Trump wrote that "sometimes by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war."

And that idea is leading some people to believe Donald Trump is actively trying to crash the stock market.

European markets rallied sharply Monday morning as investors breathed a collective sigh of relief following President Donald Trump's decision to delay his threatened 50% tariffs on European Union goods. U.S. President Donald Trump backed away from his threat to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the European Union next month, restoring a July 9 deadline to allow for talks between Washington and the 27-nation bloc to produce a deal. The sudden policy reversal came just days after Trump's Friday announcement sent shockwaves through global financial markets.

The Weekend Call That Changed Everything

Trump's decision not to increase tariffs on EU goods in the coming days followed a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The European leader had requested more time to negotiate, telling Trump during their Sunday conversation that she "wants to get down to serious negotiations," according to the U.S. president's retelling. Trump agreed to extend the original July 9 deadline he had set in April, effectively giving trade negotiators an additional month to reach an agreement. Von der Leyen, Trump said, vowed to "rapidly get together and see if we can work something out."

Market Response Shows Relief Rally Strength

European assets rallied on Monday. The euro hit its highest level against the dollar since April 30, while European shares surged and were poised to recoup the previous session's losses. The swift market reaction underscored just how much damage Friday's tariff threat had inflicted on investor confidence. MSCI's broadest index of world shares rose 0.2%. The pan-European stocks index, last up .9%, recovered to where it was trading before Trump on Friday unexpectedly called for 50% tariffs on European goods. Currency markets also showed significant movement, with the euro strengthening against a basket of major currencies.

Trump's Trade Policy Whiplash Continues

The tariff delay represents another chapter in what analysts are calling Trump's increasingly erratic trade policy approach. Trump's initial announcement came less than 30 minutes after he threatened to impose a tariff of at least 25% on Apple's iPhones if the company does not start manufacturing them in the United States. The rapid-fire policy announcements on Friday morning sent U.S. stock futures plummeting and sparked concerns about a broader escalation in global trade tensions. The threat roiled global financial markets and intensified a trade war that has been punctuated by frequent changes in tariff policies toward U.S. trading partners and allies.

European Leaders Navigate Diplomatic Minefield

European officials appeared to successfully deploy diplomatic strategy to buy themselves more negotiating time. Von der Leyen said in a post on X that she had a "good call" with Trump and that the EU was ready to move quickly. "Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively," she said. "To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9." The coordinated response from Brussels suggests European leaders have learned to adapt quickly to Trump's negotiating style. However, progress with the European Union has been more limited, sparking Trump's ire and adding to broader tensions between the two allies over Trump's "America first" agenda.

July 9 Deadline Looms Large

While markets celebrated the immediate reprieve, the July 9 deadline creates a new focal point for potential volatility. Trump imposed 20% tariffs on the EU as part of his sweeping "reciprocal tariffs," before slashing the rate down to 10% for 90 days on April 9. But Trump last week suggested a "straight 50% tariff" on the EU beginning on June 1, saying that the 27-nation bloc "has been very difficult to deal with." The compressed timeline gives negotiators just over five weeks to reach a comprehensive trade agreement that has eluded both sides for years. Trade experts warn that without substantial progress, the tariff threat could resurface with even greater intensity.

What This Could Mean for Investors

Investors are being warned to "buckle up" for more volatility after U.S. President Donald Trump delayed the roll out of 50% tariffs on the European Union. The temporary nature of today's reprieve suggests that successful investors will need to stay ahead of rapidly changing trade dynamics and policy shifts that can move markets in minutes, not months. Those who can identify the patterns behind Trump's negotiating tactics and position themselves accordingly may find significant opportunities in the weeks ahead—but only if they have access to the right information and analysis at the right time. The next six weeks could determine whether this trade standoff resolves peacefully or escalates into a full-scale economic confrontation that reshapes global markets.

Bitcoin skyrockets on Trump’s election. Which coin is next?

Donald Trump just won the election resoundingly. And already, in the first few hours after the news, Bitcoin has skyrocketed. Hitting all-time highs on the first day after the election. But that’s just the start …

Juan Villaverde called the top and bottom of every crypto bull market since 2012. And he says 2025 could be the greatest bull market in crypto history. He believes Bitcoin will go to $150,000 — or more.

But there’s one coin he thinks could go even higher. It’s part of Trump’s special Project Crypto. His plan to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.” This could be his favorite coin.

And it’s definitely one of his vice president’s favorite. Click here to find out more about the coin that makes more than Bitcoin in the 2025 bull market.
