1) Deloitte analyzes the global economic outlook and consumer trends, with a focus on the US, China, Europe, and other regions.
2) Under the Trump administration, the US economy may see increased spending on infrastructure and the military, less regulation, and trade restrictions, which could both boost and slow growth.
3) China is transitioning its economy from manufacturing and exports to services and domestic consumption, while facing challenges from declining working populations and debt levels.
4) Europe has mixed growth across countries, with strength in some like Germany and weakness in others like Italy, while the UK faces uncertainty from Brexit.
Since the inauguration on January 20, we have all been inundated by media reports on the first one hundred days of the Trump administration. While stock market participants entered the year with apparently high expectations, towards the end of this 90 day quarter there has been wavering of sentiment as the realization that not all of Trump’s campaign promises are likely to be delivered.
It has been ten years since the great financial crisis. In the US, the S&P 500 peaked on October 9, 2007. The Canadian market continued its upward trajectory into the following year peaking in June as energy stocks were buoyed by high oil prices. While the bull market leading up to 2008 had duration of about five years, the current bull market has gone on for ten years without any significant setback.

SWISS TRADING COMPANIES, AFRICAN OIL AND THE RISKS OF OPACITY GE 94
Swiss commodity trading companies buy a
considerable share of the oil sold by African
governments. The payments made by Swiss
companies generate a significant portion of public
revenues in some of the world’s poorest countries,
and are subject to governance risks as they take place
in environments of weak institutions and widespread
corruption. To date, however, these important
transactions have escaped oversight due to opaque
corporate practices and weak regulation.
Recent Trends and Legal Developments You Should Consider in 2015: Part I – Me...Winston & Strawn LLP
The 2014 market for M&A deals in the U.S. was robust, with the year having the most active deal flow since the 2008 financial collapse. And 2015 seems to be off to an equally strong start. Winston & Strawn corporate partners Oscar David, Rob Rawn, and Mitch Moetell provided a look back at important developments in 2014 and an overview of possible M&A trends in 2015.
In addition to a strengthening Australian dollar, 2018
has already seen Australian exporters manage the fallout
following a 30% tariff imposed on chickpea and lentil
imports by India, alongside cattle prices being lower
and increased competition from the United States and
Argentina on some of Australia’s key export commodities.

Rinaldi's Smith School of Business Students Discuss Key Findings from Recent ...Joseph Rinaldi
Professor Joe Rinaldi has built up valuable relationships during his thirty years of capital markets and asset management experience. Giving his students access to these market leaders is a cornerstone of Professor Rinaldi's teaching strategy at the Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, College Park.
Professor Rinaldi and his friends at Barron’s firmly believe in combining real world experience into formal education. Professor Rinaldi stated, “This Smith/Barron’s opportunity compliments my core philosophy to educate and assist students in beginning their careers in finance and investments. Our friends at Barron’s were kind enough to waive the $1,295.00 registration fee for each of our four students to attend their “Art of Successful Investing Conference.” The event was held on October 22nd at the Metropolitan Club in New York City. It was a one-day, limited-seating event that the premier financial magazine and website publisher described as a one-of-a-kind opportunity "to see and hear from investing luminaries at one place, at one time."
Professor Rinaldi's students participated in roundtable discussions on many key topics including domestic and global economic trends, individual stock picking strategies, U.S. presidential election insights, options strategies and practiced their networking skills. They heard and learned from some of the biggest names in the investment world. The experience they gained was priceless, especially since Barron's will not be making available a broadcast, replay, or repackaging of this information.
Students in Professor Rinaldi’s Futures, Options and Derivatives class (BMGT 444) are typically seniors who are looking ahead to their next stage in life - getting a job after they graduate. They enjoyed advantaged access to many potential employers at the event like Felix Zulauf of Zulauf Asset Management; Dan Fuss, Vice Chairman of Loomis Sayles, Meryl Witmer of Eagle Capital, Pat Neal of Treepoint Capital, as well as other members of the Barron's Roundtable.
The selection of the four students was extremely competitive. The screening process included submission of résumés, GPA scores greater than 3.8/4,0, relevant work experience, and a one-on-one interview. The four students who earned attendance include; Matya Magnezi, Justin Licameli, Alex Blum and Jon Szakelyhidi.
The students co-authored a White Paper (see above) on what they had learned and presented their findings orally during the Market Color segment of Professor Rinaldi's Futures, Options and Derivatives class.

Based on our scuttlebutt and feedback from industry sources and ground views of experts regarding the current state of affairs in India due to Coronavirus lockdown, We shall now present our thoughts on investment strategy for post lock down period.
Overview of GLOBAL FINANCE CRISIS and impact with market. Impacts of the US Financial Crisis on Indian Economy. FINANCE CRISIS, Subprime Mortgage Crisis, US Financial Markets, US Unemployment and Stock Market Returns, Treasury Rates and Inflation,
The Trump administration’s economic policy is rapidly breaking down the World Trade Organisation (WTO) system and shattering the rules-based international order. On top of imposing tariffs, the United States is blocking the appointment of new judges to the body that interprets and enforces WTO rules, decisions and agreements.
If this continues, the WTO will virtually cease to function by the end of 2019.
This will cause a gradual breakdown of the multilateral trading system and lead to a new international economic order that is no longer anchored in liberal democratic values, nor fully constrained by the rule of law.

When it comes to opening a new QSR location, the decision around site selection is critical — and the wrong decision can be extremely costly. For a QSR looking to significantly expand to new locations, the stakes are even higher. Founded in 1959, Little Caesars has been a popular pizza chain in the U.S. for decades. Having successfully responded to new consumer behavior in recent years, the chain is poised for rapid expansion across the U.S. and other growing markets like Canada and Mexico. With a goal to maximize ROI on the new locations, the company had to identify and prioritize sites for their new stores in a smart and scalable way. Learn how they turned to human movement data to empower teams in the U.S. and internationally to create a strategic expansion plan.

Resale is ecologically beneficial, applies to many types of merchandise and is on-trend, but we are finding that the resale of goods online isn't as profitable as in store--think photo shoot, double ship and repackaging of items. So if done right at store level, can resale be more profitable, increase foot traffic with unique offerings, and boost customer loyalty? Learn from IKEA about their in-store resale experience, hear exclusive research from WD Partners and see visual renderings that show how areas of resale can be executed in several types of merchandise categories.

You may know it as smart speaker, or the voice that tells jokes to your kids. You may think it’s a marketing channel, or only available through Big Tech.
Think again. A number of leading retailers know conversational artificial intelligence – voice assistance -- as a technology that is creating operational efficiencies (from warehouse to store), aiding employee retention, and lifting brand affinity. A technology that’s not only on the roadmap, but in implementation. (And in ways you may not expect.)
Join industry leader Vicki Cantrell and top executives from retail and entertainment as she pulls back the covers on the value of voice and retail, and explores the questions you’d ask: what’s real, what’s not, and what’s next? Where and how is this better than what we’re doing now? How do we protect the privacy of our customers – and our own data? How do we get started, and with whom?
