The algos have their sensitivity cranked up to ’11’ today…
President Trump said the following…
- *TRUMP: CHINA WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DEAL
- *TRUMP: CHINA SENT LIST OF THINGS WILLING TO DO ON TRADE
- *TRUMP: THINK WE WILL HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA
- *TRUMP SAYS MAY NOT HAVE TO DO MORE CHINESE TARIFFS
- *TRUMP: DON’T WANT TO PUT CHINA IN BAD POSITION
- *TRUMP: CHINA LIST PRETTY COMPLETE, FOUR OR FIVE THINGS LEFT OFF

Asked detailed question about his trade policy with China, Trump immediately retreats to same vague talking points he’s been using at his rallies for months.
“I think we will have a great relationship with China. Hopefully we will have a deal,” Trump says.
And the machines panic bid stocks…
Notably, the FX markets entirely ignored this and bond yields nudged very modestly higher…
It appears Trump has discovered the OPEC jawbone strategy: repeat the exact same thing every day, betting idiot algos will buy.
