超人超人…. 早安….Most Investors are driven by greed and panicked by fear, which is why so many lose so much during market upheavals. It’s also why so few gain so much.
What separates the winners from the losers ? People who remain calm, focused, and analytical during market up and downs always come out top—and snatch the losses from whose who panic…..
Quote by Robert Koppel….Chaiman and CEO of Chicago Mercantile Exchange…..
(July 7): Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to make his first trip to Asia as top US diplomat this week to discuss trade and security with regional counterparts who are looking to avoid President Donald Trump’s looming tariff increases.
Rubio flies to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Tuesday for a gathering of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. While the US isn’t a full member of Asean, American officials often participate in its summits, as do China and Russia.
Rubio “is focused on reaffirming the United States’ commitment to advancing a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific region,” the State Department said in a statement.
The gathering will bring Rubio together with peers from export-reliant nations that are anxious about the July 9 expiration of a 90-day pause on higher trade taxes. Trump initially rolled out reciprocal tariffs in early April, but the White House reversed course, froze those rates at 10% for three months, and opened negotiations amid tumbling markets and fears of a US recession.
Rubio will also likely face questions about Trump’s threat Sunday to impose an additional 10% tariff on any country that aligns itself with what he called the “anti-American policies” of the BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.
Indonesia became a full BRICS member in January, while Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand joined as partner nations.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi is expected and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is confirmed. President Vladimir Putin’s government, entrenched in the war in Ukraine, is deepening ties in Southeast Asia through energy and defence deals.
For weeks, the administration has signaled its tariffs will revert to their higher April 2 levels for countries that fail to strike accords aimed at reducing US trade imbalances. Other nations will seek to follow the example of Asean member Vietnam, which last week reached a deal for a 20% tariff on its exports — compared with a 46% duty originally threatened — though goods deemed to be transshipped face a 40% rate — a provision largely aimed at China.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated that some countries lacking an agreement by the July 9 deadline will be able to negotiate until the tariffs kick in on August 1. While the job of negotiating trade deals falls mainly to Bessent and others, Rubio is one of the first Trump cabinet members to travel to Asia.
