JPMorgan: Trump's market-moving posts decline

A study by JPMorgan found that US President Donald Trump has posted fewer market-moving messages on social media compared to his first term.

The bank’s analysts found that only 10% of the 126 posts Trump made since his re-election on sensitive topics—such as tariffs, foreign relations, and the economy—triggered noticeable moves in currency markets.

According to the study published on Monday, Trump’s posts on these issues exceeded 20 last week, yet remain far below the peak of 60 per week during the 2018-2019 trade disputes with Mexico and other countries.

The Mexican peso and Canadian dollar dropped over 2% and 1%, respectively, in early February when Trump announced emergency tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada— a move he postponed two days later.
