As someone who doesn’t understand the arcane and subtle inner workings of “wall street” I’m just going to ask the obvious: why TF can’t wall street people just ignore Trump’s lies like everyone else?
Or is it just because everyone is bedding down on Thursday night thinking “yeah Trump might tweet something when he’s on the shitter in the morning so better reduce my holdings and see what happens”
Traders react to what they think is going to happen, not what is currently happening. Also they usually do not trade as emotionally, but rather based on processed information.
It becomes clear that this war is going to last and oil supplies will be further delayed, lowering economical prospects worldwide, which causes the market to react.
A volatile market also creates some opportunities for profit as traders can gain both when the market value increases and decreases, depending on how they are trading (although it also increases risk). If you are skeptical, market manipulation is also a possibility as Trump administration is already being investigated for this.

Wait…rich people go on their phones on the bog too?
Based on his old twitter habits, I assume every communication Trump puts out is sent while he’s taking a shit
Its a statistical certainty.
He’s full of shit all the time, so that tracks.
