US Pres Trump: India has offered us a deal to charge US no tariffs

Again he shows his schizofrenic flip flop....Also the known saying: trip - return is just same distance. The Chinese have memories like elephants, and his interpretation of a "very good relationship" is certainly not seen the same from the other ...

Trump: Relationship with China is very good

Not much surprising, and Donald to give in from his bullying approach in the last weeks, that simply dont work in China. Now down to normal customs and toll rates, and no "trillions in income" like Donald used in campaign, all a play, based upon his ...

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: It's implausible tariffs on China go below 10%

Trump: 80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.

FOMC arrange for some 8-10 differnt members breathing their unclear and fluffy statements around interest rate status and related view on the Economy. Views that most of you allready know. In other words - no new info and muddying the water even ...

Williams: Uncertainty and Robust Monetary Policy

Sure, agree with that, and was more on the kind side there. And it differs a lot, from T - shirts, MAGA caps, (;D to advanced tools and technology. Lots of capital is needed (who will invest in Donald Land?), sustainable business plans and ...
