I mean the more general dip and when it might rebound. There was the initial drop, then a further drop when China announced their retaliation. I'm not sure there'll be any significant bounce till they know what the EU are going to do. It might flatline for a bit but I'd be surprised if there's any jump of note before that happens.

The EU won't retaliate as it only harms its own population (according to the experts)

Reason nothing really happens early doors is because the spread on US stocks like Apple is way wide.
Every morning, but especially Monday morning, London is just adjusting to what happened on Friday. Of course Trump may wake up tomorrow and tweet something. He will tweet something. And that will be what markets respond to. |

and he accuses others of pearl clutching

that was sarcasm, actually

I have my fingers crossed for EU retaliation. It's in their dna.

It's certainly exciting but scary at the same time ... buy when you can smell the extreme fear as Uncle Warren always says
He's sat there and taken flak for his huge cash balance the last couple years but he's got more than a few years under under his belt ! Just waiting .... |

By:
My sense is that fear has not crossed over into the general population yet, regular people aren't logging on to dump their holdings in large numbers imo. I don't doubt it's mad on twatter, but most people aren't on twatter.

Political people shouldn't be listened to when deciding how to best invest.
If they want to cut cash isa limits it's because it's costing them But what did they expect? |

Only negative 5 on 500 and daq pre trade

It is a relatively new phenomenon, most fell outside the 1k interest ceiling with low rates,a bigger net with 4-5% and now many taking advantage of 'hiding' x amount from taxman while getting the rate, right an all.
|
|
By:
obviously growth in an isa is safe from double dip taxation in any type of isa
|
|
By:
But you can lose on a share isa obviously.
|
|
By:
not MM. but the change in the game is that there was no incentive to use cash isas in a flat rate era. hardly anyone is choosing between cash and investing, they are moving their cash assets into isas to prevent savings interest being liable for taxation
|
|
By:
It's a juggling act as always, for example I have a 10% regular saver unwrapped, which will still beat wrapped investments, net of tax. some people would rather get a lot less interest and pay no tax on it

People always over react, but being able to correctly
price it up with a loose canon setting policy is a toughy. Easier to trade IPL!!! |

Bitcoin fell below the $79,000 level as investors braced for more financial market volatility after U.S. equites suffered their worst decline since 2020 on the rollout of President Donald Trump’s restrictive global tariffs.
The price of bitcoin was last lower by 5% at $78,647.33, according to Coin Metrics, after trading above the $80,000 for most of this year — barring a couple brief blips below it amid recent volatility. It’s off its January all-time high by 39%. The flagship cryptocurrency usually trades like a big tech stock and is often viewed by traders as a leading indicator of market sentiment, but last week it bucked the broader market meltdown – holding between $82,000 and $83,000 and rising to end the week as stocks tumbled and even gold fell. Other cryptocurrencies suffered bigger losses overnight. Ether and the token tied to Solana tumbled about 10% each. Bitcoin’s down move triggered a wave of long liquidations, as traders betting on an increase in its price were forced to sell their assets to cover their losses. In the past 24 hours, bitcoin has seen more than $181 million in long liquidations, according to CoinGlass. Ether saw $188 million in long liquidations in the same period. |

Hedge fund investor Bill Ackman, an ardent supporter of Trump’s 2024 campaign, posted a lengthy note on X warning of the consequences to the economy should Trump fail to back off.
“The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system,” he wrote. Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down. May cooler heads prevail.” |

Another 4% gone - He's really 'making America great'. He's blown trillions of dollars and ruined the reputation of his country.
He needs to have the guts to admit he's made a mistake. |
|
By:
he is surrounded by sycophants and is himself a narcissist, admitting making a mistake seems unlikely at the moment.
ftse -2.7%. |
