Financial markets may be the last guardrail on Trump

After assuming office, Donald Trump implemented extensive changes to US trade policies and government administration, leading to significant disruptions in the financial markets.
Trump's intense revamp of trade policies and escalating retaliation with China, alongside his indications of removing Federal Reserve Chair Powell, sparked instability in Treasury and stock markets.
The markets reacted with $6 trillion wiped from Wall Street in two days and shaken demand for US Treasury bonds, traditionally a safe haven during crises like 2008.
Experts said the stock market tempered Trump's policies, but the bond market, described as a stronger force, primarily drove his recent policy retreat after investors became "a little bit yippy."
Trump scaled back his harsh tariff plans except for China and reassured he would not fire Powell, signaling financial markets remain a key restraint on his administration's actions.

Commentary by Ivan Mikloš: Trump is worse than the global financial crisis and pandemic. They were caused from outside and countries, governments, central banks, international institutions and ordinary people tried to eliminate them. But now the global economic upheavals are caused by the ignorance, arrogance and dilettancy of a man who was elected to the most influential position in the world.
