Maybe they are afraid that a certain orange child rapist will just steal that money and hide it in an offshore account?
But that wouldn't happen, would it? Nooooo, there's no chance that such an obvious and blatant crime would ever be allowed to just happen with zero accountability. Could it? Noooo...but then again? Nooo.

Even as an American I am happy to see this.

That's some very good, factual, number based information.

Someone in the journalism space actually did their job for once.

One thing that's a bit below the lines is:

In the last 12 months, the S&P 500 (.SPX), has risen around 14%. In dollar terms, Tokyo's Nikkei is up 43%, Europe's STOXX 600 (.STOXX), has surged 26%, Shanghai's CSI 300 (.CSI300), has returned 23% and Seoul's KOSPI has doubled in value.

But Dollar to Euro has actually weakened by 11% last year. Dollar to renminbi has weakened by 5%. So a good chunk of that "price surge in dollar" is just due the currency evaluation changing.

The rest is as "it's all over, panic sell everything now" as the factual part of the news will get

U.S.-domiciled investors have poured nearly $7 billion into European equity products, compared with an outflow of roughly $17 billion during the four years of Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021.

U.S. investors are pulling money out of their own stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years

16 years ago was the end of 2009, early 2010, after the real estate crash. We didn't have an official crash yet and people are moving that fast.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Oh, funny, that's how the external link buttons got converted into text, let me fix that.

Because the stooges behind "America First" can't think about the second and third order effects. If you become a crappy trade partner, you'll lose customers.
