Not much has changed this week, beyond further twits and drama with the White House and President Trump. Talk of trade-war, tariffs continue, with new threats to China and Japan. The Markets are starting to take a notice as all exchanges had a less than stellar development this week. In addition, troubles in Emerging Markets did not abate, with markets around the world down and in limbo of what is to come. Of course, what week would be complete without some news around Tesla and Elon Musk.
