The US stock market is home to the world’s biggest companies and has set a series of all-time highs recently despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that the global economy is facing the biggest energy shock in history.
Its like people are completely asleep to the energy and food crisis that is building up. I guess there has been so many crisis lately they they have stopped reacting.
If Hormuz doesnt open up, and I dont think it will, there will be a lot of big problems. Probably mostly for Asia and Europe, but im not sure if America will be immune. What if food costs increase? Fuel costs?
I think its a bit scary when an official person from Bank of England is saying it. But yeah, we will see. I think Trump is creating a global crisis right now and if that doesnt affect the stock market, I will be very surprised.
A crashing stock market is normally what comes before a huge depression, when grocery prices are extreamly high, there are rations, and people dont have money to buy food.
It already affected the stock market (and it’s ongoing).
Remember when that person in a totally unrelated questioning argued the Dow was above 50k? The next days trump pulled some insane bullshit and this is what happened:
Other markets weren’t immediately affected that much, but then he started the Iran war and that put a dent in all global markets. They seem to recover quicker tho.
Im very interested in what happens this coming week. I think the American market will keep going higher, because investing institutions think it cant crash. And maybe they know it cant. There is a lot of inside info going on.
