Good MorningEquity markets retreated on Friday after Donald Trump renewed the tariff threat. In messages on social media, the president announced 50% tariffs on the E.U. and company-specific tariffs on Apple for iPhones made outside the U.S. The takeaway is that trade negotiations with the E.U. were stalling, and the president wishes to hasten Apple's departure from China.
The question is whether the E.U. and China will start negotiating in good faith or whether global trade relations will continue to deteriorate.
Last week's economic data was mixed but bullish for the market on balance. The weak spots were in existing home sales and the Index of Leading Indicators, but hotter-than-expected reads of flash PMI offset those. The PMI shows substantial, accelerating expansion in the manufacturing and services sectors and underpins an outlook for consumer health. The labor data, including weekly jobless claims figures, also aligns with a positive outlook on consumer health. Featured: July 2025 Rule Change to Impact Retirement Investors (Premier Gold Co)
