From ICU to IPO party: Tariff news send leveraged ETFs chionging to the moon?

The Gist:
Trump suddenly say want to suspend some tariffs for 90 days (except China kena 125% ). After that, US market go full beast mode:

  • Nasdaq +12%
  • S&P 500 +9.5%
  • Dow +7.9%

Biggest rally in years leh.

Who huat the most?
Leveraged ETF gang, your time has come:

  • TQQQ (3x Nasdaq bull): +36% in a day. If you still holding after last week’s crash, salute you sia.
  • SOXL (3x semiconductor bull): +57% (!!) after Philly Semi Index power up 19%.
  • FNGU (3x FAANG): +40% — Tesla +22%, NVDA +18%, Apple +15% all like kena Red Bull.

Why this kind of move?

  • Trump’s U-turn = traders whack 0DTE options, gamma squeeze like crazy.
  • China kena tariff = US chip stocks fly, SOXL/SOXS become arena fight.
  • Bond yields spike = money flood into risk assets.

But can hold or not?
Honestly this type of rally very sugar high one. Base tariffs still around, and China kena special treatment. If things escalate again, might pull back. Powell also haven’t speak yet, so maybe next week give us plot twist.

What I did:

  • Locked in SOXL gains around +42%
  • Park some into SQQQ as hedge (just in case party end early)
  • Also, used my Tiger CBA to tap extra $5K buying power — didn’t even need to fund first, just jump in straight when I saw the setup forming.
