"A Trumponomic Tonic"Injection Was "Just Tariffic" For Markets

By Content-mgr - on December 31, 2018

A “Trumponomic tonic” That was injected into the Markets had what could be perhaps referred to as a last minute ditch to end the tempestuous 2018 year on a positive note.
Following the US –Chinese attempts to resolve the tariffs impasse. President Trump on Saturday alerted market participants of a “Very good call” with President Xi Jinping. Although once again details remain obscure and the Chinese were more reserved revealing that they hoped the two strong economies could have met each other half-way in a compromise, Market participants took this as a positive antidote and that’s “just Tariffic” for now.
