The AEX Koers will probably open a few points today, while in the United States there is a true drama between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Incidentally, the American stock market is not concerned about it. The futures there are flat, while Asia is mixed higher and Europe is falling slightly.
Tumultuous times
In any case, they are not quiet times for the financial markets. Normally it is mainly about whether the US central bank will lower its policy interest by 0.25%point or whether they may still opt for a break.
Lately, however, everything has been about Donald Trump and his trade war. Now, in addition to the battle with his large trading partners, a war with Elon Musk has also been added.
Until recently, the two were the greatest friends, but now a popping fight has been created between Trump and Musk. In such a way that Musk would think it would be a good idea if the president of the United States was dropped off.
These are generally not the messages that do well on the stock market. On the other hand, this is also a way in theory to bring the Trump Levings to end very quickly.
Nobody knows it
The honest answer is that nobody currently knows what will have in store for us in the coming months. Elon Musk knows for sure: Trump’s taxes will cause a recession during the second half of 2025.
We just have to see that. The same Musk also shouted a long time ago that the US central bank would cause a recession with its interest rate increases. That of course did not happen at the time.
Because of this madness, the uncertainty in the financial markets has increased slightly again. Although the foundation still looks solid, these kinds of developments do not help.
A long -term bull market is almost unthinkable under these circumstances.
