Last Weekly Dispatch we didn’t cover the massive news out of the Federal Reserve, slashing rates, and the on-going trade disputes with China. This PODCAST, we are breaking down the importance of the federal rate change, trade, and growth. We’ll highlight the issue at hand with China and its currency manipulation, the extent to which central planning affects currency valuation and GDP growth, and the future of global US securities.
