  • Global stock markets are calling Trump’s bluff on tariffs

    From cnbc.com

    U.S. President Donald Trump slapped punitive tariff rates on 14 trading partners on Monday — but global markets are so far shrugging off the new policies. The president announced on Monday that he had sent letters to the leaders of Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos, Myanmar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia and Thailand. Each letter laid out new tariff rates on goods sent from the individual country to the United States. The new rates, ranging from 25% to 40%, will come into effect on Aug. 1.

First the TACO trade callout, now this article. THANK YOU mainstream media. Where is Trump going to bomb NOW to prove he isn't "a chicken"?
“Thank you mainstream media for today’s dose of bias-confirmation.”

You types should really be looking ahead 3.5 years to your next slander campaign; time is already running out and the baby Vance memes aren’t gonna cut it. Trump is already here, it’s time for virtue signalers to be forward thinking for once. Your little imaginary gotcha scenarios are just sad at this point. This taco meme is a failure as he’s always used tariffs in negotiation. But yeah, thank the mainstream media for feeding you like the baby bird you are. Look where that’s gotten you so far.

    US: Short-Term Inflation Expectations Tick Down, Household Financial Expectations Improve

    From newyorkfed.org|Jul 8, 2025

    The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Center for Microeconomic Data today released the June 2025 Survey of Consumer Expectations, which shows that households’ inflation expectations ticked down at the short-term horizon and remained unchanged at the medium- and longer-term horizons. Unemployment and job loss expectations improved. Spending growth expectations slightly declined, while household income growth expectations increased. Households were more optimistic about their year-ahead financial situations and credit access. The survey was fielded from June 2 through June 30, 2025. The main findings from the June 2025 Survey are: Inflation Median inflation expectations decreased by 0.2 percentage point to 3.0% at the one-year-ahead horizon. They were unchanged at the three-year- (3.0%) and five-year-ahead (2.6%) horizons in June. The survey’s measure of disagreement across respondents (the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles of inflation expectations) decreased at all horizons. Median inflation uncertainty—or the uncertainty expressed regarding future inflation outcomes—decreased at the one- and three-year-ahead horizons and was unchanged at the five-year-ahead horizon. Median home price growth expectations remained unchanged at 3.0%. This series has been moving in a narrow range between 3.0% and 3.3% since August 2023.
