From Lehman to Liberation Day

 


The market’s initial reaction to a big event can be very wrong

President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day isn’t a binary event, as there is a range of tariff policies he could announce, from the merely symbolic and performative through to actions that could transform the entire global economy. 

The possibility of the former can’t be dismissed; the risk of the latter is still far from reflected in markets.

The best analogy in my experience was the Lehman Weekend of September 2008, when traders left on Friday knowing that their world might change if Lehman Brothers couldn’t be rescued by Monday.

It wasn’t.
