经济学家：加拿大乳制品关税未被视为对美国生产商的阻碍
美国总统特朗普最近计划对加拿大乳制品征收关税，但加拿大丰业银行的经济学家 Derek Holt 对这一抱怨不以为然。 Holt 表示，美国乳制品生产商在向加拿大出口产品时无需缴纳关税，因为美国产品的关税税率是在非常高的水平才开始生效，而且美国出口量仅占设定上限的一小部分。 他还表示，美国采用的是同样的保护体系，该体系被纳入了特朗普在第一个任期内谈判达成的《美墨加协定》。 “如果我们想谈论扭曲农业部门政策的问题…… 那就先从停止你们（美国）政府每年通过浪费的农业法案向企业农场提供数千亿美元补贴开始吧。”

If riding a bucking bronco is your idea of fun, you’re going to love what the stock market has in store. Consider this past week’s ride a preview.The week’s action didn’t look like much, if you didn’t know better. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 213.12 points or 0.6%, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite ended little changed.
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
