E Despite The Strong Economy And The Weak Dollar, The U.S. Inflation Rate Is Still Not Accelerating
The American economy is particularly strong this year and the job market is virtually fully employed.

What Investors Need To Know About The Implications Of Trump’s Tariffs
A couple of days ago, I shared my view that President Trump’s tariff overtures are more than likely a negotiating tactic as he looks to tackle yet another of his campaign promises – international trade.

Trump Plays With Fire On Trade
With his announcement last week of broad tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, President Trump launched what could be the first salvo of an all-out global trade war.
