today's economic calendar release, so far they are not that bad.Al_Dente wrote:From the BBC:
Loser: Farmers and manufacturers
The new deal commits China to boost purchases in manufacturing, services, agriculture and energy from 2017 levels by $200bn over two years.
Mr Trump has said that could include as $50bn worth of agricultural goods a year.
But other officials have put the figure lower and analysts are sceptical. So far, the primary effect on business has been pain.
Farmers, who have been targeted by China's tariffs, have seen bankruptcies soar, prompting a $28bn federal bailout.
Among manufacturers, the Federal Reserve has found employment losses, stemming from the higher import costs and China's retaliation.
Over the long-term, American firms may reroute supply chains away from China to avoid the tariffs - but that's an expensive prospect.
As Bloomberg's Tracy Alloway adds: "A lot of American farmers are going to be disappointed with this trade agreement. Soybean prices are plummeting after the deal failed to include a specific $ amount for China's purchases of U.S. soy. All this just a few months before planting season!"

Same with Apple AirPods. Huge sales success. And apparently still accelerating. New versions released with higher prices, and sales volume going up.
Tip: Apple has not used the i prefix on a new product line since 2010.
Apple never called it i-watch, ever.
In contrast, Google has rarely had significant sales volume success with a hardware product.
Google has a long running history of introducing servces and products and then allowing them to fade away or be killed off.
What do you mean about 'remembering' these things?
You want to bet (right now?) against Apple creating ANOTHER (or more likely, several more) successful products in the coming years?BullBear52x wrote:any new hot product have a cycle, Apple need new product line once this Airpod are peak in sales.K447 wrote:Apple Watch?
