Recession Incoming? Bitcoin vs. The Market (a Swan Signal Live video segment) with with Hurley, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: The stock market is in freefall under Trump’s new term, with the worst two-month start in history. But is this part of a larger economic strategy, or are we heading toward a deep recession?
Hey Bitcoiners,
The economy has been under pressure, though recent rebounds have provided some relief. The S&P 500 has experienced one of the worst starts to a new presidential term in history, with a sharp decline in the first months of Trump's second term.
The administration’s approach—deliberately allowing stocks to decline—marks a shift from past interventions aimed at propping up markets. However, as the pain mounts, questions arise about how long they can sustain this strategy before adjusting policies, such as lowering tariffs, implementing corporate tax cuts, or easing monetary conditions.
Investor sentiment remains cautious, with some concerned about a prolonged bear market. While the administration insists there is no "Trump put" to rescue the markets, there is an expectation that stimulus and economic incentives will eventually be deployed. International markets, particularly European and Chinese equities, have been performing well as capital exits U.S. assets.
