Earlier quoted context omitted.
Whatever you need to tell yourself. For those of us outside the US many of us are tired of the antics. Most of the rest of the world is long tired of Americans shouting everyday that they are the best and they should come first. Say it enough times and we’ll look for other more relational and reliable trading partners.
There's nothing substantive about a comment like this. The US has dominated indices for decades and the amount of money those indices have generated non-US investors is huge. Belief in the US based indices domestically and abroad is still superior, just look at the numbers. The US has a gargantuan debt problem to handle, and reciprocity in tariffs seems far from an 'antic.'
We have become a source of absolute chaos and until we settle down into an understandable and, critically, stable set of behaviors three is no belief in us.
You can’t rely on past behavior as a source of trust for counter parties when you are simultaneously telling those counter parties that every agreement you enter into is worth nothing upon tomorrow.
