Hello Investors!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! There has been great news for the US and European Union! They have agreed to a trade framework that will result in a 15% tariff on most imported European goods. This would avert an all-out trade war between the US and Europe. This is great news now that this has happened I am hoping that the rest of the big countries decided to follow suit and make a trade deal with the US. We are already seeing the changes of tariffs between goods that come from other countries. The other deal that we need to focus on is the US and China trade deal that will have to happen before August 1st or this would affect the market. I will be on the lookout for what will happen in the coming weeks when the US and China are scheduled to talk about trade in Stockholm.
This paycheck I was able to buy three shares of NVDA and one share of VOO which inches me closer to my goal for VOO and NVDA. I am hoping I can finish these goals before Amazon and Google hit new highs for this year because it will start becoming expensive to invest in the big companies going into the high season for stocks. The trade deal is also helping the stock market which is also driving prices per share. Just make sure to keep to your goals and always remember that investing takes time to grow once you find good companies to invest in.
Until next time…Have a wonderful week and remember it is never too late to start investing!
