Looks like the market is "pricing in" 47's insane unpredictability.

So, with 47's selective "pause" wall street apparently convinced themselves he "wouldn't be so crazy after all." Looks like today, the recognition that he could do anything, absolutely anything at any moment is begining to sink in.

He can pull another rabbit out of his ass, but I suspect almost nothing he does, short of kneeling over, can actually reassure the "smart money."

Trump is totally self serving, irrational and unpredictable.

He did blink yesterday but he only did so after burning the house down.

the DOW would be well below 30,000 - maybe 20,000 - eventually they will, but not overnight.
