Equities, ETFs, Rates, FX trader. also 🎥, 📺, 🏏. imposters get blocked and reported, and I never DM re crypto (which is the ultimate moron 'asset')

part of Trump's self-made problem is that TACOing a war is a completely different proposition than TACOing tariffs, particularly when the situation is already deteriorating fast. equities seem to be finally getting the message in the US, and were already there in Europe. we're in STFR mode now:

if you voluntarily are going to hand over £55 for an event I've recently seen announced, then I'm afraid we can't be friends.

no significant large cap news today from UK companies, just slightly +ve to neutral statements from smaller companies. macro is driving the bus for the market overall still, no reason for that to change short-term that I can see. I do wonder what a reversal in Gilt yields might do to sentiment ?

bit of a Schrödinger's ceasefire developed yesterday, breaking down under observation; and this is reflected in a more cautious tone overnight, after the big risk bounce. Asian equities ↘️, US and European equity futures ➡️, Oil ⬆️, Gold ➡️, bond yields retraced ↗️ in US session, and Japan, FX ➡️

Hegseth out there desperately trying to save his job with a new level of sycophancy. I would say you could watch it, but he's not visible on account of being lodged so far up Trump's rectum, not even his shitty shoes are in shot.

disaster averted with both sides inevitably claiming victory, now we see whether the 2 weeks ceasefire holds (and what happens after that). nevertheless, significant bounce in risk assets and plunge in oil the result: Asian indices ⬆️, US and European equity futures ⬆️, oil ⬇️⬇️, gold ⬆️, yields ⬇️, $ ⬇️:
