Crazy! They've always been used to relative stability. Makes it very difficult to plan. Trump calls for tariffs on product x, price goes up. Then a couple weeks later he reneges price goes down. Screws up supply chain.
That said..wouldn't put it past trump to be playing with the whole thing so someone can be making $$ off the rises and declines.
