CNBC: Trump almost single-handedly revived short-selling business

Odaily Planet Daily News CNBC financial analyst Jim Cramer said that Trump's policies are distorting market logic, attracting short sellers to enter the market and inducing investors to misjudge: "There is a common reason for recent market misjudgments: the president's tariff policy and his nationalism toward other parts of the world continue to disrupt trading decisions." Cramer pointed out that the market has often seen a "selling at the opening" pattern recently, because they expect Trump to suddenly make remarks about trade or companies such as Apple, and they try to profit from short-term declines. But this strategy will fail on the days when Trump remains silent. Cramer said that Trump has almost single-handedly revived the short-selling business, and many hedge funds have begun to short stocks such as Nvidia or CoreWeave in large quantities, believing that they can make a profit with the White House policies. He warned: "Short sellers may suffer significant losses because many companies are performing well, but the actions of the White House often obscure Wall Street's vision." (Jinshi)
