In case you haven’t been following U.S. President Donald Trump’s twitter handle of late, as of May 10, trade negotiations between the U.S. and China deteriorated further.

This piece from RBC’s Portfolio Advisory Group published today, “Much ado about the tariff tantrum” highlights some of the market dynamics that I have been talking to clients about over the past several months concerning the US / China trade war. Brinksmanship on the issue has reached new heights of late with the recent breakdown of talks and imposition of competing new tariffs. While concerning, and definitely expected to have some effect on markets, the piece does a good job of laying out some edges for what risks (and opportunities) in the current situation look like.

Please take a few moments to review today's Morning Insight.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to continuing to help you accomplish your long-term financial goals.
