Trump’s Second Term Sparks Global Market Turmoil
Buckle Up, Markets: Trump’s Second Term Kicks Off Today!
Today’s not just a Monday—it’s THE Monday. Trump’s second inauguration is here, and if you thought 2017’s market chaos was wild, this week might make it look like a warm-up act.
Here’s what’s brewing:
Tariffs, Baby! Rumor has it Trump’s coming in hot with executive orders. Broad tariffs? Targeted tariffs? Maybe both? Markets are sweating harder than a trader in a losing position.
USDCAD in the Hot Seat: A big tariff move could shoot USDCAD past 1.5000, while no tariffs might ease it back to 1.4000. Options traders are already bracing for the worst with volatility skyrocketing.
Volatility Overload: FX options are off the charts:
EUR/USD: 11.5%
USD/JPY: 12.5%
USD/MXN: A whopping 19%!
So, what should you watch for?
Broad vs. targeted tariffs. Broad ones could hit CAD and MXN like a ton of bricks.
Gradual “ratcheting” tariffs. Think slow-burn chaos—low levels now but rising steadily.
Executive orders galore. Whatever Trump doesn’t say in his speech will hit the newswires like a stealth attack.
Markets are on edge, but with US equities closed today, we’ll have to wait for Tuesday to see the real fireworks. Until then, it’s all about FX traders—and trust me, they’re sweating bullets.
Stay tuned, folks! We’ll be back to break down Trump’s speech and what it all means for your trades. Until then: Keep your stops tight, charts open, and your nerves steeled.
It’s going to be one hell of a week. Let’s trade smart, not scared!
