Over the weekend, Trump announced a tariff exemption for semiconductors and smart products, marking a 180-degree shift in U.S. government tariff policy.On Saturday, multiple media outlets and KOLs just finished analyzing Trump’s tariff exemption.On Sunday, another reversal: Lutnick stated that the suspension of tariffs on phones, computers, etc., is temporary. The electronics that received tariff exemptions will be re-reviewed, and may be included in new semiconductor-related tariffs. These products will face special, targeted tariffs to ensure they are reproduced domestically. These new tariffs may be announced in one to two months.Despite the double reversal, $Apple(AAPL)$ rose 5% in overnight trading. Now more and more investors have ideas but

Recently, U.S. stocks have seen sharp volatility, while U.S. Treasuries—traditionally seen as a safe haven—have instead faced rare sell-offs. On Wednesday, the 10-year Treasury yield briefly spiked to 4.51%.Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment: It’s Bigger Than Tariffs.Ray Dalio recently warned that people are largely overlooking deeper forces driving almost everything—including tariffs.“The far bigger, far more important thing to keep in mind is that we are seeing a classic breakdown of the major monetary, political, and geopolitical orders.This sort of breakdown occurs only about once in a lifetime, but it has happened many times in history under similar unsustainable conditions.”Dalio highlights five major risks to watch:Breakdown of the monetary/economic orderBreakdown of domestic political stabi

The US stock market just delivered one of its most astonishing sessions in history. Following President Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff suspension for countries that refrain from retaliatory measures, all three major indexes surged.

On Wednesday morning, Trump announced a 104% tariff increase on China. In response, China imposed an 84% tariff on the U.S. that evening. The EU also announced a countermeasure, imposing a 25% tariff on imports from the U.S. Subsequently, Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary said he wants Trump to slap a 400% tariff on China.Tariff numbers are getting larger and larger, yet the market's reaction has become increasingly calm. Trump even posted to rally people to buy $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ stock.Trump is becoming absurd, but has the tariff trade war already played itself out?Once tariffs exceed 100%, any additional hikes seem to lose significance. US stocks might see a short-term rebound, but the medium-term outlook remains unclear. High tariff

Yesterday, after a deep V-shaped reversal in the U.S. stock market, both bulls and bears were wiped out. But this time, you're no longer the same person who’s experiencing market volatility for the first time.Do you remember how you got through the first big crash?Every long-term investor may have a "deeply unforgettable" market drop hidden in their heart.Perhaps it was that night when you stayed up watching the markets, and your account lost 30% in a single day;Maybe it was that morning when you pressed the "sell" button for the first time, only to regret it afterward;Or perhaps it was that day when you were feeling panicked but forced yourself to go to work as if nothing happened.How did you comfort yourself back then?Did you tell yourself, "It will bounce back in the long term"?

The market's been in the red every day—so red it matches the color of my face and ears whenever someone asks about my returns.With the way things have been going, do you need a little mental prep just to open your account each day?Some people are trying to calm down, some have surrendered with clarity, and others are buying the dip.Here’s one sentence to sum up how I got through the recent crash:1. Me in Beijing: Looking at the sea of red on my screen, I decided to shut it off and take a walk in the park to see some green trees and blooming flowers. Spring is beautiful—if only my portfolio looked that good. But if you're an investor in Singapore, even the park means braving heavy rain these days. When it all feels too much—how do you cope?2.
