Investors are stimulating for more political chaos after last week’s tariff wars which tripped up sentiment, sending the dollar higher and gold to log levels. On this week’s episode of the Investopedia Express we look at why the strong dollar is pinching corporate profits innards everted the biggest companies in the world, and what they are saying about it. Plus, President Trump’s holding company neutral announced the registration of new ETFs and SMAs that track his “America First” agenda. While conflicts of interest and the governmental branch of government have always had a cozy relationship, we’ve never seen this kind of securitization of America’s ways. And, new tax proposals are about to hit Congress where the real fight over America’s fiscal future is about to get interesting, take ining the potential closure of the carried interest loophole.
