On today's podcast:
1) Part of the equity optimism comes on signs the US will avert a government shutdown. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer opted not to block the Republican bill, avoiding a government shutdown.
2) The US quietly tightens sanctions on Russia as it seeks a ceasefire deal. The Trump administration let a license covering payments for energy to a handful of Russian banks expire, making it difficult for foreign oil refineries, traders, and buyers of Russian gas to pay Russia in dollars or other Western currencies.
3) President Trump's trade war continues to impact global markets. Companies worldwide are planning for the worst as President Trump's tariffs create uncertainty, with some setting up "tariff task forces" to mitigate the impact on sales, profits, and market shares.
