After a May equity selloff, investors should be enjoying the June bounce. But that’s as we navigate trade headlines, i.e. President Donald Trump’s tweets or what’s in his head that day, and remain on the lookout for signs the Federal Reserve will cave on interest rate cuts.
Hang in there, says our call of the day, from J.P. Morgan’s global head of quantitative and derivatives strategy, Marko Kolanovic, who says we could get a bigger bounce from all the damage trade-war tensions have wrought on stocks. He notes the recent threat of Mexico tariffs that came and went fast. He thinks a U.S.-China trade deal — logical going into an election year — could reverse about half of the market damage seen so far.

Much is warning of a coming recession, but will it arrive after dow hits 40k and Trump is reelected?
Based on what? The utopian free trade you dream of or the actual rip off we’ve tolerated for decades?
How much has China and Japan pirating our IP cost us
Propaganda. The market was supposed to collapse if Trump was elected. I still haven't forgotten that Chicken Little, politicized prediction. Just admit that you can no longer do your job objectively.
Let me know when that happens, thanks.🙄
