short article 2 min

The article discusses how investors have become desensitized to the chaos created by Donald Trump's policies and actions. It argues that while markets traditionally dislike uncertainty, Trump's consistent disruption of geopolitical, economic, and financial norms has normalized chaos. A Bank of America survey indicates that fund managers see inflation, rising bond yields, and geopolitical conflicts as major risks. Despite these concerns, fears of a global economic "hard landing" have decreased, and a majority of those surveyed anticipate "no landing" in the next year. The article suggests that Trump's undermining of institutions and the global economy has led to a market environment where his actions no longer shock investors.
