My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Despite Trump having blinked in this tariff war he has moved the Overton window on many things - China, other regions seeking more independence from the US etc. Even if he completely reverses course we will be dealing with the reverberations for the next decade

So was it what was happening in the treasury bond market that made the US blink in this trade tariff thing?

I am really struggling to rationalise these things myself. A reserve currency would naturally be strong because lots of people would want to hold it...

I don't see how anyone would accept a lower repayment on the t-bills. As the article says that is in effect a default. I have seen some talk about swapping these bills/bonds for longer terms ones but it will still kill the US credibility...

I'm not even sure that you can weaken the USD and keep it as the global reserve currency - the closest I can think about is the plaza accord but that was one country - japan - not the whole world. Also I don't see China cooperating in the same way that Japan did (never understood why Japan did sef)

Here’s one key thing you should know about Trump’s shock to the world economy: it could work | James Meadway It’s hard to say if the president truly knows what he’s doing. But there is a precedent for the US causing short-term chaos and reaping long-term gain, says economist James Meadway

Trying to see the logoc in these rariff moves. This is probably the best explanation I have seen so far.
