Will policies ever lose their influence on markets?
We all saw what happened to the markets through the summer. It was one of the worst periods of time for us traders and investors. A lot of people lost their investments and started doubting all of the markets just because a certain politician decided that the world belonged to him [we all know who we are talking about, right?]. And the whole situation made us come to the question whether a time will come when politics will stop being as influential on the markets?
Of course this question came to us with the news about another package of trade tariffs threatened by the Unites States to China. Sadly, we have a perfect possibility to see an ego of one person leaking into international policies and spoiling trading for everyone. But United States and Trump are not the only example that we have right in front of our eyes in order to see the relations between politics and economics.
Russia gives us another perfect example. We have talked about Russia countless times so we are not going to stop here in order to explain the situation in the country. Let’s just say that a lot of people got out of ruble trading all because of political misjudging of Russian government. But what are we to do today? It is impossible to leave currency trading altogether as it is too big of a market sector in order to just abandon it. Plus, selling everything off will only worsen the condition.
Will trading be safe ever again? We would say that it is indeed possible. but for that worlds society is going to have to work hard in order to get rid of the main reason because of which we find ourselves in current situation. For example, senate of America is to stand against their own President. Although there is no unified opinion on whether Trump is going to face impeachment or even impeachment threats we hope that he does. That is going to be the easiest way to lift all of the restrictions that Trump imposed on United States’ international trade partners.
But that will hardly be enough. As community we traders are going to have to get into politics, as unnecessary as that might seem. We are to learn all of the pattern that international policies are going over and over. That is for our own sake, of course. Everything is tied to dollar these days. So we are either going to have to learn US policies or switch to non-dollar-including currency couples. Which also a good option, by the way.
Right now the situation may seem difficult, but it is important to remember that there is always some kind of exit from every situation.
Has time to invest in American companies come?
The time has come when it became clear that the United States will be the one who will get the damage that is going to ricochet from Chinese manufacturers right onto American companies. And it seems that it might be time to look into all-American companies and turn away from Chinese conglomerates.
We say that understanding that us turning away from Chinese trading is going to bring more damage, but what can we do? It seems that Chinese automobile production companies are going to start increasing price for their goods, sold in the US are manufacturing costs have risen up due to tariffs. That means that the price of automobile manufacturing is going to rise in the United States as well. So it is natural to think that Trump is going to try and boost American production of automobile parts.
It is natural to think that especially given that Trump is all about all-American products. So it is also natural to understand that this means new financial plans and possible governmental programs for such companies. We are of course talking about American automobile producing giants lie Fiat, Ford and General Motors. Everything will be done in order to boost their sales inside the US and reject Chinese parts. And now might be a good time to look into that sector of the market.
Although these companies are already big and quite well-known around the world we would expect their shares to rise. With major constructers working in the US primarily, it is only natural for us to think that some new products are to hit the markets as well as new prices for shares.
Such is the analysis of the current situation. And right now we would say that it is not half as bad as we thought it would be, right?
Boeing is about to get a boost.
What can be more ensuring of the company’s growth than US army investing into it? Well, not exactly investing, but making a deal is just as good. At least we think so. Boeing has just set a deal with US army that the company is going to build new-generation self-flying devices for American army-people. And that means that Boeing it going to broaden it horizon’s and possibly get a lot of other partners really soon.
American army is pretty much a standard that all of the other armies on the world want to be like. And we see a lot of work for the company in the nearest future. With so much war zones around the world it is quite predictable that a lot of countries are going to need devices like that for protection and reconnaissance. Right now Boeing is already producing planes for air fuel charging,
With that it is worth saying that the company has been one of the most stable and growing companies in the last year. Even though foregone summer has shaken all of us there has been no scandals are scrutiny surrounding the company and the falls its shares took were solely due to the problems of the market. In the last 12 months shares of the company gained 44 percent. Not bad, right?
Moreover, Boeing have a lot of new contracts that concern countries like Ukraine and Russia which are quite big and important when it comes to planes construction. And trust of such countries can costs a lot of a company like Boeing. So we will watch this company closely from now on because as we can see attention like that pays off by 44 percent in a year. And something tells us that the growth is not slowing down at this point.
