Friday’s Factors and Events
The harsh dose of COVID-19 reality capped a lousy night for the US, and by association, world markets. The Trump administration, fresh from chopping US visa availability, proposed fresh tariffs on an array of European goods, and tariffs on Chinese lobsters. The Défense Department also published a list of Chinese companies with uncomfortably close ties to the Chinese military. Meaning international companies may find doing business with them challenging in the future. Trade disagreements and tensions being precisely what the world does not need right now.
