SPX: Eye of The Storm

3 351
In a hurricane the EYE of the storm is region of "calm" and even blue skies

To the unaware, the break in the clouds and the blues skies may bring a sense of relief that "the worst is over"

But the informed know that the OTHER SIDE of the storm is coming and the worst has yet to happen

IMO the aforementioned scenario accurately describes what we are about to see in markets

The Administration is slowly backing off the more severe of the tariffs

Over the weekend they removed tariffs on major electronics and associated components coming from China which should bring a sense of relief to markets

We will most likely see continued softening on the worst of the tariffs as the administration grapples with the true reality of things: MARKETS ARE IN TROUBLE

This softening will give the appearance that things will be OK and we may even see markets rally to new ALL TIME HIGHS

But a rally to new ATHs will be akin to the "eye of the storm" as just like with a Hurricane..the other side of the storm is coming
Trade active
FED will most likely lower rates in May which will contribute to the feeling that "everything will be ok"

"Trump aide Hassett says U.S. got ‘amazing’ tariff deal offers, recession ’100% not’ happening"

:)

Remember in March 2007, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke initially stated that the U.S. housing crisis, including the subprime mortgage crisis, was "likely to be contained"?

Time will tell...
