Trading the Trump Tantrum

Mid-week market update: The stock market sold off today on no apparent fundamental or economic news.

The race had been tightening for several days, but this seemed to be the last straw for the markets, which threw a tantrum in response.


The Mexican peso, which has been an excellent barometer of the presidential race, tanked as a result.


The stock market did too. The SPX has now broken a key support level at 2120 and I am seeing bearish technicians coming out of the woodwork in my social media feeds. The Fear and Greed Index is diving into fear territory.
