Trump says 'very wealthy' group found to buy TikTok
President Donald Trump said Sunday a group of buyers had been found for TikTok, which faces a looming ban in the United States due to its China ties, adding he could name the purchasers in two weeks. "We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way," Trump said in an interview on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. "Very wealthy people. It's a group of wealthy people," the president said, without revealing more except to say he would make their identities known "in about two weeks." The president also said he would likely need "China approval" for the sale, "and I think President Xi (Jinping) will probably do it." TikTok is owned by China-based internet company ByteDance. A federal law requiring TikTok's sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before Trump's inauguration on January 20. But the Republican, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media and who has said he is fond of TikTok, put the ban on pause. In mid-June Trump extended a deadline for the popular video-sharing app by another 90 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or be banned in the United States. Tech experts quickly described the TikTok kerfuffle as a symbol of the heated US-China tech rivalry. While Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, he reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform -- which boasts almost two billion global users -- after coming to believe it helped him win young voters' support in the November election. "I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok," Trump told NBC News in early May. "If it needs an extension, I would be willing to give it an extension." Now after two extensions pushed the deadline to June 19, Trump has extended it for a third time. He said in May that a group of purchasers was ready to pay ByteDance "a lot of money" for TikTok's US operations. The previous month he said China would have agreed to a deal on the sale of TikTok if it were not for a dispute over Trump's tariffs on Beijing. ByteDance has confirmed talks with the US government, saying key matters needed to be resolved and that any deal would be "subject to approval under Chinese law."

Investors shore up defences against another August market rout
Big investors are preparing for the normally thinly-traded months ahead with even more caution than usual as risks of oil price volatility or fresh tariff shocks could shake up the complacent market mood and spark a repeat of last August's rout. Scarred by the sell-off a year ago, when global growth fears hit low volume markets to drive big swings in asset prices worldwide, investors see stocks, bonds and currencies vulnerable against the backdrop of a fragile Israel-Iran ceasefire, seesawing oil prices and trade-war uncertainty. Asset managers said they were raising portfolio protections given the geopolitical risks and uncertainty about China and Europe striking U.S. trade deals as a July 9 deadline looms. "Our positioning is that over the (next) three-month horizon markets will not get the positive confirmations they are pricing in," said HSBC Asset Management Global Chief Investment Officer Xavier Baraton. Baraton is buying equity put options as an insurance, which pay out if stocks fall. Goldman Sachs' asset management chiefs, recommended in a presentation last week, loading up on protection against sell-off scenarios with volatility, interest rate and market-trend strategies. Cruel summer As the July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU tariff deal approaches, with scant progress so far towards mutually-agreed baseline levies, concern is growing over how long markets will stay numb to trade risks. "If we continue to get this kind of blasé approach to that risk, then it becomes more tempting to be looking for protection over that (July) event," Chris Jeffery, head of multi-asset strategy at Britain's biggest investor LGIM, told Reuters. World stocks, up 7% so far this year, this week touched fresh record highs. And Wall Street's fear gauge of expected volatility on the SP 500 index is muted at below 18, down from 52 in April. Still, one-month VIX futures, which cover July 9, are around a 1.5 point premium over the VIX, in a pattern that can signal investors expect market sentiment to sour. HSBC's Baraton said Trump's unpredictability remains a broad market risk. "Markets seem to have forgotten everything that the Trump administration has been threatening to do," he said. Republican leaders are pushing to get what Trump calls his One Big Beautiful Bill Act through Congress and to his desk before the July 4 Independence Day holiday. The bill would add trillions to the $36.2 trillion national debt. Markets can trade calmly for longer than appears rational in part because of a circular relationship between the VIX and risky asset prices linked to how automated trading funds are programmed to behave. Automated volatility control funds, which according to UBS run about $700 billion of assets, often buy stocks when the VIX drops and dump them when it surges. This has been cited as a reason behind last August's brief but sharp selloff. Royal London Asset Management multi-asset head Trevor Greetham said computer programs the group uses to limit clients' exposure to market swings were picking up trading cues driving them to buy equities. But fund managers overseeing RLAM's volatility control robots had decided not to follow them in recent weeks and sold some stocks to manage portfolio risk instead, he said. Goldman asset management partner Simon Dangoor warned, meanwhile, that oil shocks could boost the dollar and upend a consensus it is on a weakening trend. "If we did have a very big disruption in oil markets, that's exactly the kind of shock that could see the dollar higher into a risk-off environment," Dangoor said in last week's presentation. For sure, while Middle East tensions have eased in recent days, risks from the region and especially potential disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz shipping route remain in focus. Oil has swung between $81 and $63 a barrel in June, making it one of the most volatile months for crude in 15 years. An index of expected oil price shifts is around its highest since September 2022. UBS European equity strategy head Gerry Fowler said options pricing suggested derivatives traders were betting on a higher frequency of single-day stock market volatility surges, such as last August. This, he warned, may not be the ideal time for vacations. "Given that everybody knows this summer is full of catalysts, there's going to be far fewer people on holiday this year," he said.

Even as markets rally, Trump's policymaking causes market angst
As Wall Street puts April's tariff shakeout in the rearview mirror and indexes set record highs, investors remain wary of U.S. President Donald Trump's rapid-fire, sometimes chaotic policymaking process and see the rally as fragile. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite index advanced past their previous highs into uncharted territory on Friday. Yet traders and investors remain wary of what may lie ahead. Trump's April 2 reciprocal tariffs on major trading partners roiled global financial markets and put the S&P 500 on the threshold of a bear market designation when it ended down 19% from its February 19 record-high close. This week's leg up came after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran brought an end to a 12-day air battle that had sparked a jump in crude prices and raised worries of higher inflation. But a relief rally started after Trump responded to the initial tariff panic that gripped financial markets by backing away from his most draconian plans. JP Morgan Chase, in the midyear outlook published on Wednesday by its global research team, said the environment was characterized by "extreme policy uncertainty." "Nobody wants to end a week with a risk-on tilt to their portfolios," said Art Hogan, market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. "Everyone is aware that just as the market feels more certain and confident, a single wildcard policy announcement could change everything," even if it does not ignite a firestorm of the kind seen in April. Part of this wariness from institutional investors may be due to the magnitude of the 6% S&P 500 rally that followed Trump's re-election last November and culminated in the last new high posted by the index in February, said Joseph Quinlan, market strategist at Bank of America. "We were out ahead of our skis," Quinlan said. A focus on deregulation, tax cuts and corporate deals brought out the "animal spirits," he said. Then came the tariff battles. Quinlan remains upbeat on the outlook for U.S. stocks and optimistic that a new global trade system could lead to U.S. companies opening new markets and posting higher revenues and profits. But he said he is still cautious. "There will still be spikes of volatility around policy unknowns." Overall, measures of market volatility are now well below where they stood at the height of the tariff turmoil in April, with the CBOE VIX index now at 16.3, down from a 52.3 peak on April 8. Unstable markets "Our clients seem to have become somewhat desensitized to the headlines, but it's still an unhealthy market, with everyone aware that trading could happen based on the whims behind a bunch of" social media posts, said Jeff O'Connor, head of market structure, Americas, at Liquidnet, an institutional trading platform. Trading in the options market shows little sign of the kind of euphoria that characterized stock market rallies of the recent past. "On the institutional front, we do see a lot of hesitation in chasing the market rally," Stefano Pascale, head of U.S. equity derivatives research at Barclays, said. Unlike past episodes of sharp market selloffs, institutional investors have largely stayed away from employing bullish call options to chase the market higher, Pascale said, referring to plain options that confer the right to buy at a specified future price and date. Bid/ask spreads on many stocks are well above levels O'Connor witnessed in late 2024, while market depth - a measure of the size and number of potential orders - remains at the lowest levels he can recall in the last 20 years. "The best way to describe the markets in the last couple of months, even as they have recovered, is to say they are unstable," said Liz Ann Sonders, market strategist at Charles Schwab. She said she is concerned that the market may be reaching "another point of complacency" akin to that seen in March. "There's a possibility that we'll be primed for another downside move," Sonders addded. Mark Spindel, chief investment officer at Potomac River Capital in Washington, said he came up with the term "Snapchat presidency" to describe the whiplash effect on markets of the president's constantly changing policies on markets. "He feels more like a day trader than a long-term institutional investor," Spindel said, alluding to Trump's policy flip-flops. "One minute he's not going to negotiate, and the next he negotiates." To be sure, traders seem to view those rapid shifts in course as a positive in the current rally, signaling Trump's willingness to heed market signals. "For now, at least, stocks are willing to overlook the risks that go along with this style and lack of consistent policies, and give the administration a break as being 'market friendly'," said Steve Sosnick, market strategist at Interactive Brokers.
