#TariffHODL Trump is making a ¿Bluff? Is that how it's written? What would the translation be into other languages? A ¿Lying Hand? ♠️♦️🃏

The USA is not in a position to keep making that play with its trading partners. The markets wouldn't have reacted that way if it were a natural move like it used to be.

The power of the USA in global trade remains dominant, but it has lost a lot of ground in the hands of the #BRICS . There was no alternative before if Uncle Sam tightened his belt. Today, that’s no longer the case. China cannot replace the entire market from and to the USA, but it can take advantage of any mistake Trump makes.

As some saying goes: if you see your rival make a mistake, let him make the mistake quietly.

The setback with tariffs on Mexico and Canada is evidence that the tariffs were not the objective. It was a Bluff. Renegotiation was the goal. And since Trump doesn't know how to do it any other way, he did it in a caveman style.

In 30 days nothing will happen, even if the tariffs are applied. The market can foresee what Trump will do. There is nothing new. Unless they use it to liquidate positions. Then the Bluff will be from the whales.
