Markets Still Bet on a Deal

President Trump’s 90-day tariff pause is more than half over – just 35 days remain.

Despite some positive headlines driving retail investors into the stock market, few significant deals have been inked.

Market investors aren’t the only ones who remain bullish. Betting markets also see a 66% chance — two-to-one odds — that President Trump will remove reciprocal tariffs.

If the markets are wrong, we could be in for another round of what we call the Great Fire – part of President Trump’s plans for a Great Reset of the U.S. economy focused on private-sector growth and keeping a lid – if possible – on government spending.

If some big trade deals are announced, markets may first break to new all-time highs before the next pullback instead.

If anything, that suggests that markets are rapidly coming to an inflection point this summer. And why the Federal Reserve is hesitant to make any changes to interest rates here.

Clearest Proof That the Bureaucratic State Needs to Go

The other issue is that there are so many federal laws, rules, and regulations, that even the federal government can’t take a step without tripping over red tape.

So how do they expect the private sector to fare any better when the potential presence of the Florida bonneted bat can cause all progress to come crashing down?

They need to take a chainsaw to federal regulations if they want to spur the type of economic growth America needs in order to grow itself out of its debt problem.

Cometh the Most Terrifying Bull

Inflation may still be running hot, but the bigger fear now is unemployment.

In his words, the labor market is “unusually balanced” — meaning both supply and demand have slowed, and the downside risk to jobs could hit fast.

That’s the polite way of saying layoffs are already showing up in the data.

So, Powell has caved.

A Rare Bullish Sign

So what happened Friday? A rare “90/90 day.”

That’s when 90% of stocks advanced at the same time – a massive level of market breadth. And when 90% of stocks also rose on heavy volume, suggesting a fundamental shift, not a one-time reaction to news

Restarting an America that Works

The absolute bare minimum for a member of Congress is to be a voice for the people of their district.

As a Democrat or Republican, they have certain issues that may feel more important and worthy of time and legislation — but constituents need to be heard too, not just brushed off.

America works best when policies focus on creating a thriving and growing middle class, not supporting an oligarchic donor class.
