*~* Trump Stock Market / Economy Crash Watch *~*

[Winehole23]

Nathan Tankus is pretty good at lay explanations of the USA's financial plumbing.

QE4 would be the obvious solution, but we are ruled by a bad king -- Tankus thinks this is 2025's Lehman moment


Putting this all together, financial regulators have been regulatorily treating United States Treasury Securities as “money” without making sure that the infrastructure was there to guarantee its liquidity on a 24-7 basis. More generally, we’ve increasingly relied on institutions like hedge funds to hold large amounts of financial assets as we discouraged large banks from doing so. Hedge Funds run on leverage. As market volatility explodes, they sell assets in an attempt to deleverage. But they were absorbing assets for the rest of the economic system. For every seller there must be a buyer. So more buyers must be forthcoming or prices need to decline to fit these big assets in the ever smaller amount of “free balance sheet space”. Think of a clown car.

Hedge Funds, and other similar non-bank firms, attempts to shrink their balance sheets will lead others to try to shrink their balance sheet which will just cause further market dislocations in superficially unrelated markets. This deleveraging pressure is clearly happening globally. Perversely, the erratic unreliability of the U.S. is, just as it did in 2008, getting the rest of the world to ever more desperately chase down dollars. Pricing in the Trump-Musk Payments Crisis has not happened, and I do not expect it to happen anytime soon, as I wrote about yesterday (https://www.crisesnotes.com/the-stock-market-is-a-conventional-wisdom-processor). Ergo no running from the dollar.

Still, the question remains, who absorbs assets from the asset absorbers?

Why, the Federal Reserve of course. Unlike a lot of commentators, I think they will step in and stabilize financial markets domestically. The tricky question is… will they do so globally? In 2008, and again in 2020, “Swap Lines” (think “lines of credit") with other central banks has been critical to stabilizing global financial markets. This time is different. Why would Trump want to cut off the rest of the world until they end their trade deficits with the United States, as well as cut off foreign aid, but be okay with Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve lending trillions of dollars to foreign central banks? European policymakers already started to, correctly, think about this possibility weeks ago (https://www.reuters.com/markets/some-european-officials-weigh-if-they-can-rely-fed-dollars-under-trump-2025-03-22/?ref=crisesnotes.com).

Trump’s orbit may not have known about Central Bank Swap Lines in the first term, but they do now. Which brings me to a grim thing I posted on Facebook on December 30th 2016:


The worst day of the Trump presidency might be when someone tells Trump what Central Bank Liquidity Swaps are.

Bartiromo to Bessent: "You're talking about $6 trillion in market value lost in a week. You're talking about CEOs now unwilling to give guidance for 2025. Is there a response or a backup plan for what seems to be corporate America shutting down corporate activity?"

JAMIE DIMON: We haven’t had a real recession, and COVID was so, so — COVID was so short, I almost don’t include it. I think you’ll see more credit problems than people have seen in a long time.

MARIA BARTIROMO: And yet you’ve got to … Your different groups at JPMorgan. You say JPMorgan’s going to be fine, but we could see a softening of the macro story.

DIMON: Yeah. So JP — [laughter] I did say to the people 10%, I think we just got a little sloppy the the last a five years. I’m kind of mad at myself, I remind people what kills companies is complacency, arrogance, bureaucracy. I was talking about Sears and A&P and Eastman Kodak — it’s amazing that companies just get too lax, and E did that too. We put some head count controls in place. I call it just like going for a run and eating your spinach. It’s not a big deal. We can handle that, and we’ll become a better company. People having a lot of fun, raising their hand and saying, ‘Why are we doing this? Can we cut it out?’ I say, ‘Go ahead, you’ve got my permission.’

BARTIROMO: Are you hearing that from CEOs as well, are they now going to start pulling it in and cutting back on various expenses?
DIMON: I think you’re going to see a little bit of that, ye

ah.

BARTIROMO: How significant? Do you personally expect a recession?

DIMON: I am going to defer to my — at this point, but I think probably that’s a likely outcome.

BARTIROMO: Markets, when you see a 2,000, 2,000-point declining it sort of feeds into itself, doesn’t it? It makes it feel like you’re losing money in your 401(k), in your pension, you’ve got to cut back.

DIMON: I always a remind people, markets aren’t always right, but sometimes they are. I think this time they are right because they’re pricing in uncertainty at at the actual company level. And how it affects consumer sentiment, it’s hard to tell. The consumer still has jobs, wages are going up at the low end, but if companies start account cutting back, yeah, consumer sentiment and business sentiment changes. I think you’ve already seen business sentiment change a little bit. No one’s wishing for that. Hopefully, if there is one, it’ll be short. But I do think fixing tease the tariff issues and trade would be a good thing to do. That will get one major uncertainty behind us. We have the strongest economy in the world, be good not to add to the uncertainty out there.

I’ll spell it out explicitly one last time.

Everyone thinks Trump wants balanced trade. He does not.

He wants to force allies to stop trading with China. Completely. Zero inbound supply.

Because it’s not just because of American jobs. It’s a proactive move to slow down Chinas industrial rise.

Everything is downstream of this. Reserve currency status. The ability to address fiscal debt.

It’s a crazy risk because China has a vote.

It’s a crazy risk because you are forcing Europe to commit seppeku because they have very little leverage or say in the matter.

It’s a crazy risk because Xi might bomb the fabs in Taiwan and the world doesn’t get AGI.

It’s a crazy risk because China knows how financialized we are and will dump bonds and equities to drive anger towards trump.

But it also has benefits if it works.

If your allies can’t trade with China there is no near peer competitor to worry about.

That has a ton of benefits. Just look at what happened after WW2/USSR collapse when American was the last man standing.

Hegemony.

Trumps advisors like Miran believe that you can coerce your allies to pay for your security umbrella in the form of buying longer dated treasuries.

This removes the overhangs of the debt load while allowing you to pump markets in time for midterms.

If Mexico can’t import from China then you solved the fentanyl crisis because they won’t have precursors.

More importantly by establishing a tolerance for risk the level of fear you can instill in cartels is an order of magnitude higher.

“Shit if they risked WW3 they won’t think twice about droning Sinaloa. “

This same “logic” applies to the Middle East.

Now I will repeat for the 100x that this is not advocacy.

I’m only telling you guys what the people in power believe. And I’m telling you that what happens next if I’m right will come down to how Xi wants to fight.

He can go gloves off or glove on. There are real constraints as I have outlined in prior tweets.

But there is a plan and therefore the tolerance for market pain is way way higher than you think.

Because first you need Europe to be willing to commit economic seppuku. And they won’t want to (rightly). So Trump will crush them economically until they cry uncle. And then they still won’t want to and he’s going to threaten to defang NATO. And then they still won’t want to and he will withdraw swap lines.

Or a lot more likely, he will do it all very forcefully and all at once to maximize leverage.

Now you’ll rightly ask… why wasn’t this messaged better? Why have midwits like Lutnik on the team?

Because you are attempting to execute a reckless gambit where the big variables are not what the tariffs rates are. Or if you tariff penguins. Or if the person sounds dumb on TV. Non of that matters.

What matters is - will Japan capitulate quickly and agree to buy a large amount of treasuries? Will Saudi capitulate quickly with your B2 bombers waiting in Diego Garcia to bomb Iran? Will China invade Taiwan?

Many of you think everyone around Trump is retarded. I get it. You hate the guy and everything he stands for. But I will say this until I’m blue in the face. Bessant, and even Miran, have higher IQs than most if not all of you. They thought through the second order effects. Believe me. If I, a dumb TMT L/S bro thought this far ahead, they certainly did too. Which means they warned Trump how risky this was and how deeply irrational it is if you planned to eventually cut a deal with China. Therefore you have to assume Trump heard the risks and said “fuck it we ball” anyways.

Economic Blitzkrieg. That’s what we’re seeing. And it’s only the start.

https://x.com/TMTLongShort/status/1909491586641047713

Trumps tolerance for market pain is a lot higher than you think.

Because there is a plan.

It might not be a good plan. But it is a complex plan that anticipated a crash.

Not because they want a crash.

Not because they are dumb enough to think equities down -50% is good for the yield curve.

Because the only way to coerce a full global decoupling from China is to play max hardball and move quickly.

Because the first counter-attack was always going to be financial - because China correctly understands the West is over-financialized - and most people in Washington know China thinks that because Xi has been saying it loudly and proudly for years.

So sequencing matters.

Bessant is being rushed to Japan & likely Saudi next to attempt to stabilize the yield curve. That is priority number one.

Priority number two? Game theory.

Ensure you provide sufficient incentive for the first big pieces to flip your way.

Coerce Japan to agree to put up massive tariffs not just on China imports. But also on imports from countries who in-turn trade with China.

Establish a pattern for network effects where if you’re left out of the new sphere you lose out not just on trade with the U.S. but also on trade with the early adopters of the new accords.

Again economic coercion alone will be insufficient to cause the desired cascade. Which is why Rubio and Hegseth will be heavily involved and why starting with Japan makes sense.

Japan is terrified of what a China-led sphere would entail.

Again, not saying it’s a good plan. But more pain has been anticipated and has been embraced.

Economic Blitzkrieg. Position accordingly.

He didn't back down on COVID. He killed 400k and is counting again.

Biden killed 750k and is finished counting. It was Biden who swore on the Good Book he'd [shut it down] before killing his 3/4 of a million.

He's kept the 10% and claims the line to kiss his ass on negotiations is long and distinguished save China who received another 20%.

"....Retiree Mary Johnson, 73, said she doesn’t usually check her retirement accounts when the markets are in a freefall, but she couldn’t “remember a fall this deep.”

On Friday, when the blue-chip Dow dropped 2,231 points, or 5.5%, and the broad S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq each shed almost 6%, “I did grit my teeth and just checked it,” said Johnson, who retired last year...

The bond market is acting weird. It spooked Trump

...
Chip Hughey, managing director for fixed income at Truist Advisory Services, said hedge funds are also unwinding bets tied to Treasuries, which could be contributing to higher yields. Demand at an auction for 10-year Treasuries on Wednesday was strong, according to Hughey, and he thinks yields could fall more as hedge funds tie up their trades.

Trump’s tariffs have also raised concerns that international investors might sell their Treasuries as a negotiating tactic. And Hughey said that if there is less being imported into the US from its global trading partners, that could disrupt demand for US Treasuries. Less trade with the US means foreign investors have fewer dollars to buy US Treasuries.

The US dollar index, which measures the dollar’s strength against six major foreign currencies, tumbled 1.8% on Thursday, a possible warning sign about waning investor confidence in the United States.

“Our stock market is down. Bond yields are up and the dollar is declining. These are not the markers of successful policy,” Trump ally and investor Bill Ackman said in a post on X on Wednesday before Trump reversed his tariff policy.

“Bonds are signaling that the pause is significant, yet not much has fundamentally changed,” said ING analysts in a note to investors Thursday. “Markets will not easily forget these episodes with wide market swings.”

This part was past the 4 sentence mark so I can see why you missed it.

"While inflation peaked at 8% in 2022, a 40-year high, it has since cooled significantly, reaching 2.4% in March. Despite this decline, the increased prices during 2022 have led to a loss of purchasing power for Americans, meaning they can buy less with the same amount of money than before. It would take nearly $114 today to buy what would have cost $100 in January of 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

Thanks Joe!

higher prices and product shortages within weeks


Retailers across the US are warning of a cascade of price increases and product shortages as early as this month as a result of Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Some stores are preparing to raise prices within two weeks as the threat of tariffs of up to 125 per cent raise their costs, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University, worsening persistent inflation that has already forced many shoppers to limit their spending.

Even after the US president announced a 90-day pause on additional tariffs (https://archive.is/o/NjMkQ/https://www.ft.com/trump-tariffs) on Wednesday, the remaining 10 per cent blanket levy on most imports will raise prices 2.9 per cent overall, costing the average household $4,700 each year, the policy research centre estimates.

“That’s almost 18 months of normal inflation happening in very short order,” said Ernie Tedeschi, economics director at the Budget Lab.

Though the threat of tariffs has roiled Wall Street for days, the worst is yet to come for Main Street. The first changes would be on the produce aisle, where price increases would begin before the end of the month, Tedeschi said. The US imports 59 per cent of the fresh fruit and 35 per cent of the vegetables Americans consume, according to the agriculture department.
https://archive.is/NjMkQ#selection-2175.0-2195.370

[Winehole23]

US consumers were already squeezed before any of this happened


US consumers are showing increasing signs of financial stress as they brace for higher prices from the Trump’s administration’s sweeping tariffs on imports, raising concerns about a key driver of the US economy.

In first-quarter earnings, JPMorgan said the portion of loans in its credit card business deemed unrecoverable rose to a 13-year high.
Industry-wide, the rate of charge-offs is now higher than the level prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, reversing a period of stellar credit card payments during the pandemic when consumers benefited from government stimulus programmes.

Consumer spending is the bedrock of the US economy, and after years of robust strength there are increasing signs that American’s wellspring of financial firepower is fading. That poses a risk to economic growth at a time of rising prices and higher interest rates, amid increasing concerns that the US economy may tip into a recession in the next 12 months.

China has considered opening its $520 billion ETF market to Western market makers, sources say

HONG KONG, April 11 (Reuters) - China has been looking at allowing Western firms such as Citadel Securities and Jane Street to act as market makers in its rapidly growing exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Over the last two years, Chinese authorities have issued more licences and encouraged the development of domestic market makers. But international market makers are more experienced in providing liquidity to ETFs and the move would boost trading efficiency and lower costs, the people said, declining to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.

The sources cautioned, however, that the escalating trade war with U.S. that has seen China saddled with tariffs of 145% this year could delay Beijing's official green light for U.S. firms.
ETF market makers serve as liquidity providers, offering continuous bid and ask quotes for ETF shares which allow investors to trade the products efficiently and at lower cost. Licenced market makers in China enjoy lower fees and less restrictions in trading.

Billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Securities and Jane Street, two of the largest market-making firms in the U.S., as well as Amsterdam-headquartered Optiver may be the first to benefit when the market is opened up, according to one of the people and a third source.
