Your Guide to What is the US 2024 Choice for Washington and the World
Under Donald Trump, America is a developing market. It is my roof over the past few days of tariff chaos and its consequences.
When I first raised this idea October last yearIf I mentioned that developing markets are often characterized by an indefinite economy, corrupt politics, institutions that are very weak democratic norms, violence and social polarization. The United States is rapidly moving in that direction, because we know very well that the prices of assets and borrowings do not yet reflect.
Instead, we have often seen US shares and currency between political and economic stress in 2016-2024 due to the status of the dollar.
They did not think that all the cases that American companies have strengthened their low globalization financial engineer. The US asset markets seemed inadmissible to the idea of an unacceptable dollar scenario, which will send both currency and asset prices to slip.
Trump finally finally completed America’s extremely great privilege. The president’s immediate guidance, which reminds me of the boy who comes out of his steering wheel, so that the other driver is forced to be stopped, because many things were not in exceptional political farms.
As Mark Rosenberg, the founder of the “Gorg” research of the research company, pointed out last week.
This is not a surprise, although many have acted in business and investment community as if it should be. Excessive executive directors seemed only within the second time of Trump and illegal possibility, not more broadly instability, and an economic paradigm shift, which it was crying.
Trump’s personal behavior, of course, sent signals to a very developing market. Is there anything more than the leader who surrounds himself in lieutenants, mainly checked for absolute loyalty? The more management of the worship of personality, the more economic results are determined by the individual’s owner, who can give and give unnoticed. The authorities allow the more likely that the ruler will leave it.
The Choice of Trump “is in many ways the products of developing such trends in social and institutional stability we have seen since 2017,” Rosenberg said.
The threat of the economic war lasted on allies and opponents, as even the developers of Trump’s own policy developers, who are fighting to continue, to move the perceptions of risk. The US-Poor Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was in Congress, which defended tariffs, even because Trump returned to many countries 90 days. Who will take him or the cabinet, seriously in any future talks?
At least until last week’s stock markets, so As if Trump had some control over the situation that unleashed. When the President posted that it was a “great time to buy” shares, they climbed. It’s also em like a behavior. I remember 2008. Lira and other assets in Turkey are moving significantly with speeches and statements by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
But the bond market knows better, and some time told us what could be shares that are not compensated, and the political risk does not leave. Even when the shares enjoyed the post-election Trump, the profit was remained. The fact that the bonds usually are sold in the last week’s shares in the evening, we are told that investors or less risky assets are sold elsewhere to deal with losses, or the confidence in the US and its future has just gone.
In fact, last week can be remembered as a real, quantitative beginning of the end of the US economic uniqueness. “Fear exists completely,” the Euronged Chief Stefan Bujna took place in France. “The country [United States] It is unrecognizable and we live in the transition period. There is a certain way of mourning, as the United States, that we have known mostly as a dominant people, were like Europe’s values and institutions and are now more like a developing market. “
I doubt it will be true under Trump, Tariffs. Even if China returns to the president (I do not think it will be only moderate to the world’s moderate transfers, the damage has been done. Wall Street and Main Street are like behavior.
The whims of Caligula’s capitalism will be with us at least before the medium terms (I personally plan to be in cash and gold until then). But the legacy will become much longer, in particular, as the reductions of Trump tax falling in a few months create a completely unstable debt image. It is possible that America can become the epicenter of the next developing debt crisis. I would go that once. No more.
