Tuesday

What is going on? Negotiations? China told Trump to bug off, markets are on a tear as core inflation subsides and oil falls.

Is anyone paying attention to Trump? Or Vance? Oil industry and military industrial complexes have been watered nicely, replenishment will be profitable.

The Fed may cut as the economy stalls.

My point being, who knows what's happening, and everyone is supposed to bet on what they don't know and aren't told.
