I saw that Trump statement too and it definitely drew my attention. He's always been like this with the market though right. Trying to puff it up and take credit as equities go up. But the tariff statements are interesting notably going from 145% to 80% with China. That's still high but it's better than before.
The market does seem to be responding positively to these signs. I've noticed tech stocks notably bouncing back a bit. But I'm not fully persuaded this is the end of the bear market just yet. There are still a lot of economic difficulties that need to be tackled.
The China material is particularly hard to read. If they actually do hammer out some kind of settlement that may be a serious catalyst for a meaningful surge. But we've seen Trump make great claims about deals before that didn't materialize the way he described.
