“There is bad news and good news for emerging market investors this year. The bad is that EM growth is tanking; the good is that there is money to be made while it tanks.”

“It’s not the Trump Administration, it’s an adventure, and on Thursday there was a glint of good news on trade of all things…. President Trump directed his advisers to examine if the U.S. could negotiate its way back into the Pacific trade deal he walked away from in 2017.” Then again, this might just “another please-the-crowd attempt that will vanish like a tweet.”

The European Central Bank’s “meeting on Thursday was a rare example of the ECB having some good news to celebrate. Not only were there signs of revival in the economy, but the prospect of a happier future was increased by its decision to push ahead with its entirely appropriate programme of quantitative easing (QE).” The ECB “should continue with the programme until the trickle of good news has become a sustained and steady flow.”
