Hey, DD - what are those nice, new squiggly lines telling you, please ?

So I go for a brilliant long ski weekend in Switzerland, but as soon as I get back to NL, I go down with almost covid-grade flu (there is an official epidemic here now, apparently..) First day online for a week and doubt I'll open my trading platform for awhile yet. Health is Wealth.

I don't blame Trump for being who he is, I blame the Democrats for twice essentially giving him the greatest political office on Earth, while caught up in their own foolish, internal power games. In the "Great Game" of world politics, a titanic struggle is developing between the US and China - the rest of us, including the EU, are now minor bit players - and something tells me that Trump is a much stronger leader than any current Democrat equivalent.

Trump: Will announce 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum Monday.

Any time Trump brings up tariffs, investors have been reacting badly (for good reason). His threat of reciprocal tariffs on Friday — that is, imposing on other countries the same degree of duties that they place on the U.S. — sent stocks tumbling. New tariffs on steel and aluminum, which Trump says he will announce on Monday, are likely to sink stocks further.

Likewise, AI, the engine that drove stocks higher in 2024, seems to present investors with more uncertainty than enthusiasm this year. DeepSeek’s claim that its training required just a fraction of the billions of dollars that U.S. AI models suck up have thrown Big Tech’s investments — which will amount to more than $300 billion in 2025 — as well as their stock valuation into question.

TRUMP SAYS HE WILL ANNOUNCE RECIPROCAL TARIFFS ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY TO GO INTO EFFECT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY

Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed Monday, tracking U.S. stocks futures that were lower ahead of key economic data, with escalating trade tensions denting investor sentiment.

"Markets aren’t as enthusiastic over Trump and AI as they used to be"

US markets plunged Friday to DS1 zones and retraced about 50% to DPP again.

DPP is/was a RS zone so far. See if markets gone tick lower again. Anyway to Fridays close maybe. (21.600 & 6050 zones)
