What happened to the recession and market crash we were warned about?

The DOW is back up into record territory, and no recession in sight.

Why were the experts wrong?

2 April 2025 ("Liberation Day"): global stockmarkets crash following the announcement of new tariffs by Donald Trump. The S&P 500 fell by 4.9% in a single day, the second largest fall in its history. Investors piled into government bonds.

4 April 2025:Trump announced he was aiming to lower the 10 year bond yield to reduce government borrowing costs. Bond yields surge from 3.86% to 4.5%.

9 April 2025: Trump caves into massive pressure and pauses all tariffs. Stockmarkets begin to recover. Bond yields remain high, increasing US government debt and the possibility of a recession.

@SunshineGirl pssst...April was more than 3 months ago. Try looking at current data.

• Stock market collapse prediction: wrong
• Bond market collapse prediction: wrong
• Global recession prediction: wrong

Trump caves into massive pressure and pauses all tariffs.

🚨 Newsflash 🚨: EU folds like a cheap lawn chair, bends over, spreads cheeks for Trump who got 99.9% of what he wanted.

Go take your victory lap
