The most shocking part about President Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" day:
The fact that tariffs were imposed on 185 countries AT ONCE and the news was not leaked in advance is incredible.
This is likely the largest wave of tariffs imposed by the US in history, and markets had no idea it was coming.
In fact, after the initial announcement of 10% baseline tariffs, stocks RALLIED because markets thought "that was all."
Then, when President Trump picked up the poster as shown below, stocks erased $2 trillion in minutes.
We are truly witnessing history.

Reuters:
Cambodia is facing tariffs of 49% that will hurt its garment and footwear industries and promise to crush hopes that it could attract investment relocating from other countries in the region.
It is a "very, very serious situation for the economy," said a Cambodia-based investment consultant who declined to be identified.
There is "nothing that Cambodia can offer as a negotiating tool, and will be at the back of a very long queue," he added.

On some planet, far far away...Stephanie Link and Jim Lebenthal were fully invested going into Liberation Day announcement.
Ok, ok, I'm kidding...the planet is not far, it's Earth and this is real...so they have no capital to deploy in this nasty tape and are forced sellers essentially.

Retail investors are becoming even more bearish:
The share of individual investors expressing bearish sentiment over the next 6 months in the AAII survey hit 61.9%, the most since March 2009.
This is also the 3rd-highest reading since the survey began in 1987.
By comparison, the 2022 bear market peak was 60.8%.
AAII Bearish Sentiment has been above 55.0% for 6 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch since the 1990s.
This has surpassed the previous 5-week streaks during the 2008 Financial Crisis and the 2022 bear market.
Market sentiment has rarely been this pessimistic.

We just witnessed history:
After "Liberation Day" tariffs, the weighted-average US tariff rate has jumped to a whopping 29%.
Not even the Smoot-Hawley Act during the 1930s Great Depression saw tariff rates this high.
Are you ready for what's next?
