It's like finding out Einhorn is Finkel! Unbelievable!

Trump's Trade Tsunami... Or Was It Just a Sprinkler?

So you've got Trump slapping tariffs on China like they're going out of style. 145%! That's… a lot of percent! Beijing retaliated of course. It was a whole thing. Like a rhino giving birth to a Volkswagen! But then BAM! Trade truce! They lowered the levies like calming down a screaming cockatoo. The U.S. down to 51.1% and China at 32.6%. It’s like a bad rom com folks. They hate each other they love each other… what's next marriage counseling?

Manufacturing Mayhem: A Slippery Slope?

Hold on to your toupees! China's manufacturing activity took a nosedive worse than expected! Fell to a 16 month low! That's like… losing the Super Bowl and finding out your parrot eloped with the mailman! The official purchasing managers' index? 49.0. Contracting! Eek!

Retail Rollercoaster and Industrial Imbalance

Retail sales? Slowed down baby! 5.1%. Industrial output? Expanded 6.1%. It's a supply demand tango and someone stepped on someone else's toes! The economy is imbalanced like a penguin on a skateboard! Things are not adding up its like someone is playing this game on expert level!

Southeast Asia to the Rescue!

Exports to the U.S. PLUMMETED. Down 21%! Ouch! But fear not! Exports to Southeast Asia? They went through the roof! Like a monkey riding a rocket! Up 8.1%! Looks like someone found a new banana tree... or several!
