    World Bank warns brewing trade storm jeopardizes global economy ...https://www.afp.com/.../world-bank-w...izes-global-ec...

    At the center of the turmoil, US economic growth is expected to slow this year by four tenths of a point, falling to 2.5 percent down from 2.9 percent in 2018, and to slow even further next year to 1.7 percent.

    China's economy also is slowing amid the trade dispute, and growth should slip to 6.2 percent this year and next.

    There is something called the plunge protection team. Was brought in after Reagan and, surprise, surprise, the 1987 Stock market crash! As I understand it they have a lot of firepower to throw at the markets when they take a drive. I suspect these rallies are in part their doing. However it is only speculation, Your not allowed to report on their movements, can't be audited hence they may or may not be the buyers of key strategic assess. Reports directly to the President and I believe did so in December :

    Stunned silence on this thread?

    I reccon May's deal will be declined this week in parliament but given that the Brits don't know what they want and given that weak and inept May is the best person the UK could muster as their leader nothing will change. Brits probably ask the EU for an extension of the Brexit deadline and markets will jitter as before. More of the same.

    Trump looking increasingly exhausted, isolated, old and tired. Eventually he will lose the fight, but not fast. Still lots of damage for him to do (not just) to the US economy. More of the same.

    Failing a surprise - markets are likely to go down a bit for the next handful of days. The interesting question will be - will we see lower or higher lows?

    What do people think?
