Market watchers have been inspired by President Donald Trump’s penchant for distilling ideas into memorable acronyms, such as MAGA, DOGE, and MAHA, and have created a few of their own that have been making the rounds on trading desks four months into his second term.
Even those abbreviations that don’t explicitly represent a particular trading approach nevertheless convey elements that traders claim are crucial in Trump-era markets, such volatility and unpredictability, which investors should take into account when making choices.
Some of the new names are linked to investment plans that sought to profit on Trump’s trade and economic policies as well as his foreign policy objectives. Others make fun of his sudden U-turns or the economic ramifications as markets and trading partners respond to his initiatives.
