Dear trader,
Trump just did it again. Minutes after the US market open, he posted “this is a great time to buy” on Truth Social. The S&P 500 responded with a spike, following a pattern we’ve seen before.
🎄 Flashback to Christmas Day 2018: the S&P 500 was mid-meltdown. That’s when Trump told reporters it was “a tremendous opportunity to buy.” What happened next? The market bottomed—and went on to rally nearly 30% the following year.
We’re not saying history repeats—but when Trump speaks, markets tend to listen. And that kind of volatility is what traders thrive on.
