The week ahead is likely to be filled with more volatility on the political and economic fronts. Center stage will be occupied by the escalating US-China trade war, the markets’ reaction, and the propaganda from Washington and Beijing. Who to believe and who has more credibility going forward is where we need to focus our attention. If the markets begin to believe the Chinese over the USA, then we, as Americans, have a problem. Nobody wins trade wars, and we have two “strong-men” leaders who are more inclined to dig in, than to reach for compromise. Even if compromise is achieved, can it be trusted? We just witnessed a brief trade-truce, which has now led to the current environment – so in short, nobody knows the end result. And this is what will cause greater uncertainty, thus greater volatility, and a reduction in confidence.
