These are forecasts. From experts. I'm sure if they said something with which you agreed then you'd be fine with it.

I’d give them the same impetus

Regardless. It is not a rebuttal and does not factually demonstrate that any of these multi billion dollar investments are or have changed.

You post links that you think show a positive. But I guess that you only read the bits that you think support your position.

The Panicans are sounding the alarm again, and trying to make the markets plunge!​

The 10 year treasury yield had its largest weekly rise since 2001, and the dollar is devaluing at the same time... so what? When a patient gets out of surgery, they will be sick for a little while before they get better.​

If the president was a democrat, the media would be completely silent about this.

Fed’s Kashkari says rising bond yields, falling dollar show investors are moving on from the U.S.​

Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said Friday that recent market trends show investors are moving away from the U.S. as the safest place to invest while President Donald Trump’s trade war escalates.​

​

With Treasury yields rising and the U.S. dollar sagging against its global counterparts in recent days, the trends are running counter to what you might normally see, the central bank official said during a CNBC “Squawk Box” interview.​

​

“Normally, when you see big tariff increases, I would have expected the dollar to go up. The fact that the dollar is going down at the same time, I think, lends some more credibility to the story of investor preferences shifting,” Kashkari said.​

​

The 10-year Treasury yield has surged this week after Trump announced his intention to slap a 10% across-the-board tariff against U.S. trading partners and threatened to impose even harsher select levies before backing down Wednesday.​

​

At the same time, the greenback has slumped more than 3% against a basket of global currencies, with moves potentially signifying a turn away from safe-haven U.S. assets.​

​

“Investors around the world have viewed America as the best place to invest, and if that’s true, we will have a trade deficit. So now one of the ways that expresses itself is in lower yields across asset classes in America,” Kashkari said. “If the trade deficit is going to go down, it could be that investors are saying, OK, America no longer is the most attractive place in the world to invest, and then you would expect to see bond yields go up.”​

The parts where he implies that that the rise in treasury yields may be happening because of Mr. Trump's tariff agenda. Trump knows what he is doing, and he didn't back down on the tariffs because of the spike in bond yields. This is all part of the art of the deal. Just sit tight and watch him work his magic. He made some amazing progress with tariffs in his first administration, and will do it again in this one.



(And this is all in jest... I don't really believe these things.)
