Reading sure is important but comprehending and analysis what you read is critical, especially regarding the markets.

The author wrote, without defining sources: GM said the costs of steel and aluminum were way above what it was expecting at the start of the year, pushed up by the tariffs on imports that the Trump administration announced in March.


But then the author quotes the CFO as saying: “With regard to our total company outlook for the full year, the pressure from commodity prices and foreign exchange rates has been more significant than our original expectations,” Chief Financial Office Chuck Stevens told analysts on the company’s earnings call, according to a FactSet transcript.


Now I haven't read the earning transcript but seems to me the author is jumping to a conclusion without defining the source of her statement because the CFO contradicts the author on tariffs when pressured by the press (as shown below) but is consistent with the quote the author used in her article.

One is a conclusion of the author the other is a statement of fact from the source itself. I'll go with the source itself.

I think CFO's of publicly traded companies are prudent by nature and avoid making politically charged statements in their announcements. There's no risk/reward there.

But you believe what you want to believe. If you're pro-tariff, good on you. If you don't think tariff threats spiked aluminum and steel prices, good for you. If you want to spend your day sucking trumps diqq and trying to convince others that chocolate milk comes out, good for you. Enjoy.

European Commission spokesperson Kinga Malinowska said that Juncker had not yet made any concessions.

“All I can say is that the talks are ongoing," Malinowska said in a statement. "President Juncker is working to avert new tariffs. No concessions made.”

We will continue importing highly engineered products from Germany and we will export to them soybeans.

Why is trump so in love with soybeans, it's 18th century business.

It's always some bs with trump....

The European Union will import more U.S. soybeans as part of a new accord to avoid an all-out trade war. Yet the bloc was already likely to take more American shipments.

That’s because the 25 percent tariff China slapped on U.S. soy imports earlier this month promises to reshape the global market for the commodity. The U.S.-China tiff means it’s likely that Brazil, the No. 2 producer, will end up selling more soy to China as a result. That’s something that traders anticipate, based on the higher price Brazilian soy is fetching over U.S. supplies.

Facing a reduced Chinese market, U.S. soybean exporters have few options other than to target the EU. And the fact that Brazilian shippers will be sending more cargoes to China means less competition in Europe. Rabobank International Ltd. predicted in June that the U.S. may overtake Brazil as the biggest soybean importer into the EU.

Look, we have some trade issues with the EU, but our trade deficits have less to do with trade abuses and more with market forces. We love european cars, and are willing to buy them, even though they cost more than American brands.

But if they eliminate all tariffs, I think thats a positive.

The main abuser of trade on the planet is China. They are currency manipulators, and intellectual pirates and just very abusive trade partners. Spend your energies there.

Out of one side of his mouth trump saying they will eliminate all tariffs with EU, implying they agree to let market forces dictate balance of trade (I hope) and then the other side of mouth he says EU will buy tons of soybeans. Why cant EU buy soybeans where they are cheapest? So from that side of mouth trump implies protectionism for soybeans.


Because he is beholden to soybean farmers and lobby.

Which is how tariffs and protectionism come into place, in the first place: one back scratching the other.

SOS. different day.

Interesting coincidence......

Vladimir Putin released footage of Russia’s latest hypersonic missile technology this week, followed by an announcement that an investigation is being launched into the scientists who are working on the top-secret project. The main target of the investigation seems to be Viktor Kudryavtsev from the Central Research Institute of Machine Building near Moscow. He is accused of High Treason and passing information about the weaponization of hypersonic technology to the West.


This information reputedly came to Putin from a NATO country. But Hmmm…Who was recently socializing with NATO and visited Putin right afterwards?

Of course the Helsinki meeting details are lost to history. Lol.

Yeah true they don’t want to make Policy changes but they’re even more careful breaking down the costs factors of a negative earnings forecast which this CFO did. So drink all the kool aid or chocolate milk you want. Your argument is weak.

Well of course. Trump place fear into Putin, he has to react with some insecurity.
