FYI For Those Wondering What That Big Move Was

Trump said he would ‘rather not use tariffs on China’.

Something that doesn’t show up on Forex Factory, I recommend having Bloomberg live TV open.

Crazy bro just says something that isn’t even at all confirmed and the markets move that much, and this can happen at anytime.

Gonna be a rough 4 years.

Thank you, I was wondering and could not find info anywhere.

Forex is where you are happy that you’re making money, but at the same time scared that WW3 is not starting. :joy::joy:

Use investing.com economic calendar.

This is 2016 all over again. You can expect those erratic moves in the first few months of his presidency. Things will settle afterwards.

Yeah, thought so. Crazy how much of an impact he has, but he’s president of the United States after all.

Very similar to Elon and his ability to tweet about DOGE back in the day.

No, it was him demanding to lower rates.

Tell me if you still think you’re right and OP is wrong.

Can you post a link to him saying that? Checked his Twitter and looked up ‘Trump tariffs China’ and can’t find anything.

Also, I would advise you to use Google feature to filter recent results in the last 24 hours. That way you wouldn’t have lost time texting this comment.

@Blake
Or just look at Bloomberg, literally was the top story.

BOJ had a rate hike also.

Yeah, that was after Trump’s comment though.

I like it this way. More volatility.

Honestly, it’s better, but price could launch into your stops at any point. There’s no set time when he’s gonna make a comment.

It was inauguration day anyway. Without staying glued to Bloomberg, something like that was to be expected, and that’s not like nobody knew this. It was announced as an all-day event on many economic calendars and on TradingView charts themselves (inauguration day, again)… I mean, no need to have a diploma to understand a President may say something during the inauguration day.

Edit: more, Bloomberg gives the info it has; it does not predict a president will say something at a specific hour. When Bloomberg has the info, the move has already begun. That’s why you avoid trading anything related to the US when you know there is such an event in the US.

@Stevie
That’s right, but I don’t think anyone was really expecting anything to happen today.

I could’ve been in a trade, and there was no info prior to the comment being made indicating he was gonna say something.

Thank you, man. I trade AUD/USD and I was so confused seeing that massive jump lol.
