Navigating Market Complexity: How Trump's Policies and Quantitative Trading Shape the Future of Smart Investments

Dear outstanding students of the Diamond Ridge Financial Academy, Hello!

I’m Charles Hanover, and it’s a great honour to be here, starting this journey of exploring the mysteries of quantitative trading with you. Through the lens of quantitative trading, we can not only grasp short-term market fluctuations but also build an intelligent investment framework to tackle future complexities. Let’s dive in together to analyze and discuss how to optimize our investment decisions in this fast-changing market in a scientific way.  

Ready? Let’s start with today’s market trends and explore future investment opportunities!

Today, the UK and US stock markets are showing a complex duality. On the one hand, the UK market is making a comeback, especially driven by mid-cap stocks. On the other hand, the US market is underperforming, with significant fluctuations in the tech and consumer goods sectors.  

The UK stock market shows some divergence. The FTSE 100 index edged up by 0.3%, but the performance of certain large-cap stocks is worrisome. Declines in mining and consumer goods stocks dragged down the overall index. In contrast, the FTSE 250 mid-cap stocks are bouncing back, with 4imprint Group’s solid performance standing out.

The UK’s recent fiscal conditions have become a market focus, especially whether the Bank of England will cut interest rates further. Recent labour market data shows a rise in unemployment while wage growth is slowing. This trend might push the Bank of England to reassess its monetary policy, with market expectations for rate cuts rising sharply to 91%. This reflects concerns about economic weakness. While wage growth remains high, a softer job market could ease future inflation pressures, creating room for rate cuts.  

As for the UK defence industry, Qinetiq’s earnings warning has also drawn market attention. Due to fiscal uncertainties, short-term order volumes fell below expectations, causing its stock price to plunge 12% intraday. Although the company expects decent organic revenue growth by 2027, short-term uncertainties continue to weigh on investor confidence. This situation reflects broader concerns about the UK economy and highlights slowing short-term growth in the defence and tech sectors.

The US stock market opened mixed today, reflecting the complexity of market sentiment. Investors' concerns about slower economic growth have caused capital outflows. Leading tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla faced varying selling levels and had weak market sentiment. The impact of the Trump administration's "America First" policy is still ongoing.  

From a macroeconomic perspective, global economic uncertainty is intensifying. Geopolitical risks and expectations of slower US economic growth are making investors more cautious about the stock market. The current market isn't simply a bull or bear market; it's a more complex range-bound movement. Against this backdrop, short-term market volatility is expected to increase further.

Why has market volatility been so extreme lately? Why is the world so focused on US economic policies under Trump's administration?  

In fact, we're living in a complex global economic environment. Geopolitical conflicts are escalating, international trade wars are heating up, and breakthroughs in AI are sparking an unprecedented tech revolution. At the same time, high debt levels and inflation in the US are adding to the uncertainty. Under these internal and external pressures, the US economy has naturally become the centre of global attention.

As the president of the world's largest economy, the United States, Trump's policy decisions are bound to influence the global economic landscape. As we've seen, the Trump administration is introducing a series of "America First" policies. These range from tightening border controls, revisiting trade policies, declaring energy emergencies, and adjusting immigration laws. Today, we'll analyze how these policies could impact the global economy, especially the potential impact on the tech industry and the crypto market.  

These policy changes not only bring significant shockwaves within the US but also cause ripples across the global economy. This uncertainty could create both major challenges and opportunities for the tech industry and the crypto market. Next, we'll dive deeper into how these changes might affect future investment trends, especially how to seize this wave of wealth opportunities in the fast-growing fields of tech innovation and digital assets.

First, we must recognize that with the explosion of the tech revolution, countries worldwide are facing the decline of traditional industries. Many nations have no choice in shaping their economic policies in this economic wave. As the world's largest economy, any economic or monetary policy it implements will impact the entire global market, particularly for the US.  

With Trump serving again as the US president, his administration's core focus is strengthening the domestic economy, heavily developing high-tech industries, bringing back manufacturing and jobs, and restoring the US's global economic leadership. Trump has outlined a series of measures in his speeches aimed at boosting US energy production, tackling high inflation and reforming the trade system. These policies will alter the trajectory of the global economy and pose significant challenges and opportunities for the tech industry and the crypto market.

Trump has decided to impose high tariffs on countries like Mexico and Canada while demanding that the government reassess existing trade agreements, especially the USMCA. These policies directly target the global supply chain, particularly the international collaboration within the tech sector. The close ties between the US and other countries in tech R&D, production and sales mean changes in tariff policies could trigger a restructuring of global supply chains.  

Under Trump's "America First" agenda, domestic production in the US could receive more support, stimulating growth for local businesses, especially in manufacturing and energy. However, multinational tech companies will face increasing tariff barriers and cost pressures. This impact on the global tech industry cannot be ignored. Specifically, the manufacturing of high-tech products, chip production, and related supply chains could all be affected by tariff issues that influence the performance of tech stocks. In the long run, this may lead to a process of deglobalization in the tech industry, with some companies reevaluating their investments and production layouts in other countries.

For the crypto market, global trade tensions could act as a catalyst for its rapid growth. Many crypto investors and developers are currently dealing with varying regulations and uncertainties across countries. The Trump administration's emphasis on external taxation and tariffs could push some multinational companies and investors to seek more flexible and transparent financial tools, further driving the crypto market's development.  

BTC and Eth, as decentralized assets, can provide global liquidity without being restricted by national borders. As such, Trump's trade policies may indirectly boost demand in the crypto market, attracting more investors to shift their assets toward this new asset class.

Next, the Trump administration declared a national energy emergency and plans to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, releasing more energy exports. This move is clearly aimed at reducing the US's dependency on foreign energy and increasing its influence in the global energy market. This policy will have broad implications globally, especially in the competition between major energy-consuming and producing countries, creating greater uncertainty in the global energy supply chain.  

Energy is an essential foundation for the tech industry's growth. Energy consumption is crucial whether it's data centres, cloud computing, AI or blockchain technology. The implementation of Trump's policies could lead to fluctuations in global energy prices, especially oil and gas prices, pushing up operational costs for the global tech industry. At the same time, the demand for digital energy may spark a new wave of innovation. For example, this policy change may impact blockchain applications in the energy sector and the energy consumption of digital currency mining.

Additionally, immigration policy has always been a key part of Trump's administration. He plans to strengthen border control through executive orders, pause the entry of illegal immigrants and end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. These policies directly impact the US labour market, particularly the movement of high-tech talent. The success of the US tech industry heavily relies on the input of skilled tech professionals. Silicon Valley and other tech hubs depend on engineers, programmers and data scientists from around the world. Stricter immigration policies could limit the innovation power of the US tech industry, especially in cutting-edge fields like AI, quantum computing and blockchain technology, where the talent shortage would become even more prominent.

At the same time, this policy could also encourage other countries, particularly China, India and Europe, to increase efforts to attract tech talent. The competition in the global tech industry will become even more intense, with talent and capital becoming more scattered. For the crypto market, the movement of tech talent will impact the speed of innovation in high-tech industries and blockchain technology. If the US immigration policy leads to a loss of tech talent, blockchain projects in other regions might have more growth opportunities, pushing the diversification of the global tech industry and crypto market.

Overall, Trump's tariffs, trade policies, energy policies and immigration policies are influencing the flow of global capital, encouraging investors to favour decentralized and global assets like crypto. Many investors are seeking safer and more flexible asset allocation solutions amid growing global economic uncertainty. Due to its independence from any single country or government, is Crypto shows ideal potential as a hedging tool.  

Furthermore, as a representative of the tech industry, crypto combines high growth potential with monetary characteristics, accelerating the development of the global tech industry. In today's uncertain economic environment, digital currencies, with their unique value, are gradually becoming an important part of the global capital market, breaking through the limitations of traditional financial systems and providing investors with more flexible and secure asset allocation options through decentralized mechanisms.

That’s why we decided to focus on crypto as the core asset for this public test of our quantitative trading system. This is not only because the current complex and changing international policy environment provides an ideal testing ground but also because crypto offers unique advantages as both a hedging tool and a high-growth asset, providing more diversified investment opportunities. The uncertainty in the global economy has led many investors to turn to this decentralized and global asset class to avoid political and currency risks. At the same time, the high growth potential of crypto provides investors with significant return opportunities.

In this context, today, our quantitative trading public test has yielded surprising results; one trade alone returned over 60%. Although some participants had slightly lower returns due to slower reactions, overall, all participants in the test made substantial profits. This result not only surprised the participants but also strengthened our entire analysis team’s confidence in the potential and value of the quantitative trading system.

Of course, no investment tool can guarantee 100% success, but the quantitative trading system greatly enhances the success rate by capturing market changes in real time and using complex algorithmic models to make decisions. This advantage is especially noticeable in volatile asset classes like crypto. The system not only accurately identifies market trends but also executes buying and selling decisions at optimal times, enabling investors to achieve maximum returns. Next, we’ll dive into the logic behind this trade to help everyone understand the decision-making process of the quantitative trading system.

First, from a macro perspective, since Trump took office, a series of policy measures have positively impacted the crypto market. Although he didn’t mention crypto in his inaugural speech, the earlier proposed BTC national strategic reserve plan, as well as the formation of a crypto advisory committee, show his positive stance on crypto, which provides strong support for its medium to long-term trend.

Next, from a market sentiment analysis, there was a profit-taking situation just before the US stock market opened, and BTC’s price dropped significantly in a short period. However, from a mid-term trend perspective, this short-term pullback did not change the overall upward trend, so we predicted a potential rebound in the short term. It was against this backdrop that the quantitative trading system recommended a long position in the morning and gave another buy signal within an hour after the US stock market opened in the afternoon.

From a technical analysis perspective, we can more intuitively understand market trends. Yesterday, before Trump took office, Bitcoin experienced a significant price surge. The daily candlestick chart showed a pullback to the BOLL middle band followed by a rebound. After the U.S. stock market opened today, Bitcoin's hourly candlestick chart once again pulled back to the BOLL middle band and found support, providing a strong confirmation of the possibility of a rebound.  

As shown in the chart, Green candlesticks first appeared engulfing red candlesticks near the BOLL lower band and then near the middle band, forming an upward trend pattern as defined in the "Price Trend Theory." Based on these factors, our quantitative trading system decisively issued a buy recommendation and successfully captured this upward trend.

Through the above analysis of Trump's policies and a review of this quantitative trading public test, we hope everyone can better understand the system's unique advantages in today's uncertain global economic environment. As we have seen, the system can quickly and intelligently make decisions through macro policy analysis, market sentiment judgment or precise technical analysis, helping investors achieve stable returns in a highly volatile market. Once this system completes testing and is officially launched, it is expected to provide long-term, stable profit opportunities to a broader range of investors, helping them stand out in the financial market.
