🌟🌟🌟In times of tariffs uncertainties, Options strategies can be highly effective at managing risk and capturing potential upside in volatile markets. A good Options Strategy would be purchasing Protective Puts if you hold long positions in stocks that could be impacted negatively by the tariffs.   A Protective Put offers downside insurance . By buying a Put Option , you secure the right to sell your asset at a  predetermined price , thereby limiting losses if prices fall . @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @CaptainTiger

🌟🌟🌟The US Appeals Court has granted a temporary administrative stay that lets the tariffs remain in effect while the legal issues are further reviewed Should the legal uncertainties persist , the markets may turn bearish .  However for now it is best to adopt a wait and see attitude to this new twist in the US tariff saga . @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @CaptainTiger @TigerClub

S&P 500’s Bullish Momentum: Aiming for 6000 and Beyond The S&P 500 is charging toward 6000, with futures hitting 5960 as of May 30, 2025, and the bull market appears firmly back. The U.S. Trade Court’s injunction against Trump’s global tariffs has sparked a rally, benefiting tech giants like Nvidia and Tesla, which are key drivers of the index. This ruling reduces cost pressures, boosting corporate profits and fueling market optimism. At 5960, the S&P 500 is just 40 points shy of 6000—a milestone it could hit by the close of May 30. Breaking and holding this level would confirm the bull market’s strength, driven by a tech-led rally and favorable economic policies. Nvidia’s dominance in AI chips and Tesla’s Robotaxi ambitions highlight the sector’s growth potential, which contin

Undoubtedly.  SPY is known to appreciate +/- 12% yoy.  Even if certain years we don't do as well, just hang tight. Just look at SPY 10 years back vs now. Everything will be okay in the long run.  Chill guys.

I. Performance and Valuation of Global Equity Indices Data Sources: Bloomberg, Tiger Asset Management Last week, global stock markets continued to experience volatility. Affected by factors such as the U.S. Treasury auctions, the three major U.S. indices pulled back slightly, with the S&P 500$, Nasdaq$, and Russell$ indices all falling more than 2% for the week. Data shows that although the yield on the 20-year U.S. Treasury surpassed 5% in the latest auction, the bid-to-cover ratio and foreign demand remained relatively solid. We believe that neither monetary nor fiscal policies currently provide support for U.S. Treasuries, and the U.S. government’s debt risk remains a concern. Last week, U.S.-EU trade talks faced setbacks as Trump threatened to impose a 50% tariff on the European Un

On Wednesday, a U.S. federal court (U.S. International Trade Court) prevented U.S. President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff from taking effect, ruling that Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose comprehensive tariffs on the grounds of trade deficit, which was ultra vires. It is worth noting that after the federal court blocked the tariff increase, the Trump administration filed a notice of appeal.Stimulated by this news, the three major U.S. stock futures indexes rose in a straight line.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ President Donald Trump’s threat to slap a 50% tariff on European Union goods starting June 1, 2025, unless they’re made in the U.S., sent shockwaves through global markets. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent quickly stepped in, emphasizing a 90-day negotiation pause that began April 2, 2025, to calm the storm. Trump’s claim that the EU’s trade proposals lag behind those of other nations adds tension to the talks. With the S&P 500 at 5,792, investors are on edge: Is this a prelude to market panic, or a negotiation tactic that could spark a rally? Will trading in 2025 hinge on Trump’s policy swings, or is this just a false alarm? Let’s dive into the catalysts, risks, and where the index might land. 🔍 Trump’s Tariff Play: Negoti

Recently, President Trump proposed a potential 50% tariff on goods from the European Union, set to take effect on June 1, 2025, unless those goods are produced in the U.S. The announcement stirred up some concern about renewed trade tensions and what it could mean for global markets. Not long after, Bessent stepped in to ease the fears, clarifying that the 90-day negotiation pause that began on April 2 was based on talks. He also pointed out that Trump believes the EU’s proposal is less favorable than those from other countries. While all of this grabbed headlines, I personally don’t follow every twist and turn in trade policy. There are often new developments in the tariff situation and it’s difficult to keep up with all of them. Markets can rise or fall based on any one of them, and ofte

I will avoid Bond. More opportunities in crypto, gold 🪙 or stock.

The weak US Treasury auction is definitely concerning, especially when what’s considered the safest asset starts rattling markets. With yields breaking above 5%, it highlights growing doubts over US fiscal health. While I’m not calling for an immediate equity crash, the bond market stress could easily spill into stocks. It’s also telling that Bitcoin is hitting new all-time highs while Treasuries falter. Investors may be shifting their definition of safe havens. Personally, I see Bitcoin and gold gaining traction as alternatives, especially in a world of high debt and tightening liquidity. These assets offer a different kind of protection when traditional safe havens come under pressure. As for Treasuries, I’m staying cautious. Yields might still rise further, so I prefer holding cash for

Stocks to Watch: LVMH (MC.PA): Led gains post-delay; its pricing power mitigates some tariff impact, but aspirational buyers may pull back if economic growth slows. Pandora (PNDORA.CO): Gained after the delay, though its emerging market supply chain exposure (e.g., Thailand, Vietnam) remains a risk. Risks: Luxury demand is sensitive to economic growth and consumer confidence, which could weaken if trade tensions escalate. European Banks: Why They Benefit: Banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered, with Asia exposure, rallied as tariff fears eased, reducing recession risks that could hit loan demand. Stocks to Watch: HSBC (HSBA.L): Benefits from reduced trade war risks in Asia and Europe, though still vulnerable to global growth slowdown. UniCredit (UCG.MI): Gained as EU tariff delays support
