SHOULD WE STILL FEAR A FED RATE HIKE IN 2025?
While markets had been expecting a more pronounced monetary easing, the Federal Reserve chose caution.

WILL TRUMP COLLAPSE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY?
Donald Trump’s ultra-protectionist trade policy could have far-reaching global consequences. History already offers a troubling precedent: in 1930, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act worsened the Great Depression, plunging the United States—and the rest of the world—into one of the most severe economic crises of the 20th century.
