Trump doesn't rest on weekends! Goldman Sachs traders: market volatility increases on Mondays and Fridays. It's no longer a secret now.

Recently, the US stock market has been very turbulent. It encountered two rounds of assaults last week, the "sneak attack" by DeepSeek on Monday and the CCTV report on Friday that Trump suddenly imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, causing huge market fluctuations. Before the market could recover, Trump's sudden proposal of "reciprocal tariffs" on Friday accelerated the decline of the US stock market and the market continued to be volatile. According to Global Times, on February 7th, US President Trump announced that he will implement reciprocal tariff measures next week. Reuters commented that Trump's "offensive" is a significant upgrade in tearing up and reshaping trade relationships globally favorable to the United States. Trump announced the news during a meeting with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on February 7th, saying, "I will announce next week, implementing reciprocal trade so that we are treated equally with other countries," "We will neither demand more nor less."

By this weekend, the cost has risen to 85 basis points, far exceeding the level reflected by the volatility (VIX). US media: Trump, can you take a break for a day Not only traders, but the US media is also struggling under Trump's relentless actions. Since taking office just half a month ago, Trump has continuously made major policy pronouncements and statements, with no signs of stopping. This has left the US media, who must keep up with current events, exhausted. Some media outlets are openly calling on President Trump, asking if he can take a break for a day...
