Trump posts about China tariffs at 2:17 AM, internet has a field day as users say he's begging Xi for a deal
Social media reactions Live Events FAQs (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Long ago, Trump's team said they could do '90 trade deals in 90 days'. But by June 3, only one deal happened, and that too was just a tentative deal with the country that keeps coming up again and again in talks is China. In May, the US and China agreed to pause tariffs for 90 days and restart trade talks. But those trade talks didn't really go anywhere or make progress, as per Trump got angry and posted that 'CHINA HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!'As the 90 days started running out, Trump got back on Truth Social in the middle of the night to complain again. He posted at 2:17 AM, saying 'I like President Xi of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!'After Trump's Post on X, one user, @Boden2023, said, '2:17 AM and it seems President Xi set up camp in Trump's head. If Trump could, he'd slap a tariff on his thoughts, but Xi's living there duty-free!' Another user, @RpsAgainstTrump, joked, 'So much for the Art of the Deal,' making fun of Trump's famous book, as mentioned in the online noticed the odd timing, midnight 2:17 AM and started making fun of Trump, saying he's acting it looked like he was desperate and thinking about China in the middle of the was a short deal to stop extra taxes on goods while both countries talked about trade again.

After the TACO trade, here comes the ‘Trump collar.' What that means for stocks.
Early action on Monday shows Wall Street starting the week on the back foot, as trade-war concerns once again dominate the narrative. This may come as no surprise to Charlie McElligott, strategist at Nomura. What on Earth is going on with the American consumer? My daughter's boyfriend, a guest in my home, offered to powerwash part of my house — then demanded money I help my elderly mother every day and drive her to appointments. Can I recoup my costs from her estate? My father-in-law has dementia and is moving in with us. Can we invoice him for a caregiver? 'I'm not wildly wealthy, but I've done well': I'm 79 and have $3 million in assets. Should I set up 529 plans for my grandkids? Known for his colorful stream-of-consciousness notes examining derivatives, McElligott taps the ever-expanding lexicon of Trump trades to tout the 'Trump collar' as a way to explain the latest market moves. A collar, in option markets, is a strategy used to protect against significant losses, but which also limits potential profits. Collars tend to be used when a trader is generally optimistic about an asset owned for the long term, but there's concern about short-term volatility in the market. The trade is struck by buying an out-of-the money put option (the right to sell a security at a particular strike price within a given time period) and selling an out-of-the-money call option (the right to buy a security at a particular strike price within the same time period). 'Out of the money' refers to when a call-option strike price is above the current asset price and when a put-option strike price is below the asset price. McElligott argues that investors should think in terms of a collar when they consider a market that is kept in a range by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff rhetoric — a market that seems to want to trundle higher, but which is regularly knocked back by Truth Social posts. 'You all know 'Art of the Deal' Trump … and over the past month+, the 'TACO'-kind … but what it all adds up to now is the de facto 'Trump Collar,' as the market retrains the reaction function in the 'Human VVIX' era,' says McElligott in an email missive sent Friday. Readers will by now be familiar with the TACO trade. The VVIX is a gauge that measures the volatility of the Cboe volatility index 'VIX' VIX, and McElligott is clearly laying the cause of market vacillations at the feet of Trump. He presents the table below to illustrate just how much Trump — the 'Status Quo Disruptor in Chief,' as he calls the Republican president — has been impacting markets. McElligott says that, late last week, when the S&P 500 SPX sat only a few percentage points shy of February's record high, the stock market was in the upper band of its range trade because investors have come to terms with what the analyst calls Trump-collar 'reflexivity.' By this he means that traders are aware that a falling market, in response to harsh Trump trade talk, will subsequently be lifted by Trump's delivery of more soothing trade comments. But 'Trump then becomes re-emboldened' and talks tough again, causing investors to sell call options to hedge against declines. We see this happening when the S&P 500 moves back toward the 6,000 level, according to McElligott. Then in response to the 'Human VVIX' downside scenario — as Trump again talks tough — the volatility of volatility re-expands, and U.S. dollar assets trade lower again in unstable fashion. That once again 'restrikes the Trump Put, as his 'pain threshold' is hit in financial markets' and they rally back 'off the precipice,' he said. 'Rinse, repeat,' says McElligott. He says that, if a trader had bought S&P 500 futures five days after Trump delivered some of his fiery tariff rhetoric — the market had fallen in response — and sold S&P 500 futures five days after Trump pulled back from that earlier position — the market had then rallied — the trade would have resulted in a 12% return.

First TACO, now Trump Collar: Shocking new nickname of the President making waves in U.S — who coined it and why it matters
A new nickname for Donald Trump is trending on Wall Street, it's called the 'Trump Collar'. This term comes after another nickname 'TACO', short for 'Trump Always Chickens Out', became popular earlier. The person who came up with 'Trump Collar' is Charlie McElligott , a strategist at Nomura, as per reports. McElligott is known for using colorful, creative language in his financial analysis. A 'collar' in finance is a strategy that protects from big losses but also limits gains. Traders usually use this strategy when they believe something will do well in the long term but are worried about short-term risks, as per MarketWatch report. McElligott says this idea fits with how the stock market reacts to Trump; it wants to go up, but gets shaken by Trump's random social media posts, especially on Truth Social. Basically, the 'Trump Collar' describes how Trump's actions and posts make the market nervous, even if the overall economy looks okay.
