Psychologist Carl Jung believes in the “collective unconsciousness” and the universal thoughts of all mankind are weakened. In the context of the financial world, the stock market is ostensibly based on concrete numbers, but in most cases is driven by instinctive hope and fear – similar works.
In other words, this is essentially an emotion tracker. Before U.S. President Donald Trump’s victory revealed his tariff plan and expanded the deal (a sharp plunge) when investors had time to digest – and caused a mean country from the weight of white houses, the difference between regular trading hours (moderate climb) is clearer than the difference between stock actions.
Trump made fun of the leniency a few days before revealing his card. This qualities of compassion are nowhere to be seen – The tariffs seem to be serious. Calling Trump’s tariff plan a seismic shift in the economic and financial world order could be an understatement. Price changes can take time to filter into the economy. However, the stock market, where investors are collectively unconscious, may register for such shocks in the coming days.
