Markets don’t react to slogans. They react to signals. And right now, the signals are chaos.

From policy uncertainty to international isolationism, from erratic budget decisions to institutional purges—the trend is unmistakable. Capital flees instability. Investment withers under paranoia. And political spectacle is no substitute for fiscal strategy.

The economy is not separate from governance. And it will not remain insulated from recklessness. If anything, it’s the canary in the coal mine.
