💵 Trump Plans 12B Dollars in Relief for Farmers 🇨🇳 China committed to buying 12M tons of soybeans by the end of the year, but so far they have purchased only 2.25M tons since October 30. That leaves roughly 9.75M tons still outstanding. 📊 The chart shows the gap clearly. Despite the trade deal language, China is not following through at the pace needed to hit the target. This puts pressure on US farmers and pushes soybean prices lower. 💸 The 12B dollar aid package is the administration acknowledging that tariffs and stalled trade dynamics are creating real pain in the agricultural sector. When China is not buying, farmers are left with excess supply they cannot sell at strong prices. 🛍 The broader picture is that trade tensions with China remain very real. The gap between promised purchases and actual buying explains why support is needed at all. It is a situation that affects commodities, agricultural stocks and the rural economy, and it matters for anyone tracking inflation and sector trends. ✅ @trading

🇺🇸 Key Events This Week Heavy week for labor data and Fed policy. Most of the market tone will be set between Tuesday and Wednesday. 🗓Tuesday 🟡 ADP weekly jobless claims — early read on labor softness. Rising claims would confirm cooling momentum. 🟡 JOLTS job openings — key metric for labor demand. Fewer openings ease wage pressure and support a dovish path. 🗓 Wednesday 🟡 U.S. Employment Cost Index — tracks wage inflation. A hot print would push yields higher. 🔴 Fed policy decision — no cuts expected, but tone matters. Markets watch for any shift toward easing. 🔴 FOMC dot plot — updated rate path. Fewer projected cuts would support USD strength. 🔴 Powell press conference — biggest volatility driver of the week. Language around labor and inflation will guide risk sentiment. 🟡 Oracle $ORCL earnings — insight into enterprise spending and cloud demand. 🗓 Thursday 🟡 Initial jobless claims — weekly gauge of labor health. A jump would reinforce the cooling narrative. 🟡 Broadcom $AVGO earnings — key look at AI hardware demand and semiconductor momentum.

The entire week pivots on labor data and the Fed. If job metrics soften and Powell leans cautious, yields may ease and risk could catch a bid. A firm labor picture or hawkish tone keeps pressure on risk assets.

⏳ Five Years of Pain for Fifty Years of Freedom This line hits differently once you understand what it really means. Most traders quit in their first year. The losing streaks, the pressure, the doubt, the days when nothing works can break almost anyone. The market tests people long before it rewards them. But a small group stays in the game. And that group understands a simple truth. The time horizon decides everything. 🔴 The early stage is the red zone. This is where the market collects its fees. Position sizing is learned through mistakes. Emotions show their power. Old habits fall apart and new ones slowly form. Money is lost, but experience grows faster than any balance. 🟢 Then comes the green zone. Trades start to make sense. Volatility no longer scares because it is familiar. A system takes shape that feels natural. Trust in the process replaces fear. And eventually the chart narrows to that point on the far right. That point is freedom. Freedom to work from anywhere. Freedom from bosses and schedules. Freedom to scale income without adding hours. Freedom to secure a family’s future for decades. The real question for every trader is simple.

Can five hard years be endured to earn fifty free ones?

Most people choose comfort now and regret it later. A smaller group embraces the pain now and spends the next decades living on their own terms. ✅ @trading
