# The third force to save the US stock market -- Corporate CEOs

After the "Trump put options" and "Powell put options" both became ineffective, Goldman Sachs trader Rich Privorotsky believes a third type of put option is starting to take effect in the U.S. stock market: corporate CEO put options.

He believes that the CEOs of large companies are rushing to the White House to lobby Trump, explaining the microeconomic impact of policies on their respective businesses, which seems to be leading to exemptions and delays in tariffs.

For example, in the past few days, executives from U.S. retail giants including Walmart and Target, as well as executives from Germany's three major automotive giants, have visited the White House, resulting in a softening of Trump's stance on tariffs.

Perhaps these CEOs have made Trump understand the true state of the economy.
