Trader Meeting Notes: Trump 2.0

3 min read

It was a historic week for the US as someone had to change Grover Cleveland’s Wikipedia from ‘only’ to ‘first’. Landslide results, comparable to 1964, point to a similarly anxious America, with Google searches for ‘WW3’ up 15% in the week and worryingly, searches for ‘who is running for president’ seeing a 200% weekly increase. LBJ’s 1964 “We must love each other, or we must die” may be too sentimental and ‘nineteen sixties’ for Trump 2.0, but “I’m going to stop wars” and “let’s stop killing people”, but it inspires some hope that the geopolitical risk volatilities may lessen. The market has a few months of processing time to check the effects of tariffs, regulations, sanctions, and drill baby drill, but the initial market reaction has been a bit measured. The possible sanctions on Venezuela and Iran, and the potential relief from the Russian sanctions have been the supply conversation points. Still, we’re talking long-term here, and the immediate impact on the flat price was quickly reversed by some offshore drilling evacuation. There are a few months to prepare before the official handover for Nancy Pelosi to clean out her portfolio of anything green whilst the Dems figure out who to point the finger at.
