Trumps vs. Russia for TVC:SPX by SwissView

Quote: "The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN."

Looks like this issue is more than rumour and this is going to affect stockmarkets in the second haflf of 2017 and would be medium term shortsignal.

If ever this discussion might end - how ever - stockmarkets will go up again.

APR 01 2017: Fear Indicator Mexican Peso

The Mexican Peso ist the most perfect Indicator to follow up how "storng" Donald Trump is (as US-President).

From the European and Mexican point of view is any "Trump weakness" long term extremly positiv. Maybe any Flynn testimony might cause a short term sell off - but long term Traders and Investors needs to keep in mind that this bullmarket is based on strong economic fundamentals and even not on Donald Trump. Donald Trump is still fighting against globalisation. If ever he might be forced to resign stockmarkets will go up.

The logic could be, that any impeachment could cause shortterm huge selling pressure especially to US-Stockmarkets. But keep in mind to check at times the Mexican Peso what signal we might get from here.

APR 01 2017: Trump walks out before signing executive orders

Quote: (CNN)President Donald Trump walked out of an executive order signing ceremony Friday -- without actually signing the orders.
During the signing ceremony, White House pool reporters asked Trump questions about his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who has offered to testify on Russian involvement in the US election in return for immunity from prosecution. The President ignored the questions and moved to another room, only to be followed by Vice President Mike Pence, who picked up the folders containing the two executive orders. Trump later signed the pair of orders aimed at identifying and targeting foreign trade abuses, according to the White House, but behind closed doors. Source:
