CNBC Analyst: Trump Almost Revived the Short Selling Business by Himself

ChainCatcher news, CNBC financial analyst Jim Cramer stated that Trump's policies are distorting market logic, attracting short sellers and leading investors to misjudge: "The recent market misjudgment has a common cause: the president's tariff policy and its ongoing nationalism in other parts of the world are disrupting trading decisions."

Cramer pointed out that the market has recently often exhibited a "sell-off at the open" pattern, as there are expectations that Trump will suddenly make comments about trade or companies like Apple, and they attempt to profit from short-term declines. However, this strategy will fail on days when Trump remains silent. Cramer noted that Trump has almost single-handedly revitalized the short-selling business, with many hedge funds beginning to heavily short stocks like Nvidia or CoreWeave, firmly believing that they can make a profit based on White House policies.

He warned: "Short sellers may suffer significant losses, as many companies are performing well, but the actions of the White House often obscure Wall Street's view."
