Pepperstone analyst Michael Brown stated that Trump's threats of new tariffs on several European countries mark a sharp escalation in his actions to acquire Greenland. The market reaction was relatively in line with expectations, with stock index futures falling across the board, the dollar weakening in a mild "selling the US" trade, and precious metal prices soaring. Despite many uncertainties and the need to closely monitor Europe's response, Brown believes this is another of Trump's old tactics: first issuing shocking threats, then significantly escalating to force the other side to make concessions, ultimately reaching some kind of agreement. For the market, this may mean some volatility in the short term, as various news noise becomes deafening, but when another "TACO" moment arrives, the market will see a rebound. Brown believes this further solidifies the strong bullish case for precious metals. The fundamentals of stocks remain solid, providing opportunities to buy on dips. (Jin10)
