^Trump imposes tariffs, world markets plunge. Trump pauses tariffs, world markets soar.
Could it possibly be that there’s a connection between idiotic trade policies and investor confidence?

Someone my savvy than I could look at the markets and see who is profiting with this sort of cycling.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Last I looked at the numbers, it hadn't regained all that it lost.

Yes, it represents about 3/4 of the losses since last Thursday, when it was already down quite a bit during this administration. There's also the impact on foreign markets, have to see what happens in Europe and Asia in the next session.
Rest assured that Trump will - sooner rather than later - say something stupid that rattles the markets again.

Trump signed an executive order today directing the DOJ to investigate a cyber security official from his first term who said the 2020 election was secure.
