In one of the wildest weeks on Wall Street since 2008, markets flip from panic to euphoria—thanks to a single Truth Social post and a dramatic policy reversal from Donald Trump. But was it all part of the plan?

In this episode, Anthony Cheung and Piers Curran break down:

• Why the S&P 500 had its biggest one-day jump since the financial crisis
• The real asset class that forced Trump’s hand (hint: not equities)
• What bond yields, auction flops, and China’s emergency meetings say about global market stress
• How traders at JPMorgan are thriving while hedge funds like Renaissance take a beating
• And what this all means for students and young professionals trying to understand today’s markets

Fast-moving, high-stakes, and full of insight. This is the episode you need to hear to stay commercially aware!
