IBM, Microsoft, Papa John's and UnitedHealth - 5 Things You Must Know
U.S. stock futures pointed lower on Thursday, July 19, and global shares traded mostly to the downside as trade war concerns held down gains. Data from Japan on Thursday illustrated the broader trade war concerns, with exports from the world's third-largest economy to the United States falling 0.9% in June - the first decline in 17 months - even as the country's trade surplus swelled to $5.24 billion thanks to slowing imports of American-made goods. U.S. companies, as well, have begun questioning the impact of Donald Trump's trade policies, according to the Federal Reserve's "Beige Book" survey of regional business sentiment for June.

German Tesla Model S owners ordered to repay EUR4,000 subsidy on electric cars
German owners of the Tesla (tsla) Model S have been ordered by a government agency to repay a 4,000 euros ($4,640) subsidy on electric vehicles, because the cars are too expensive to qualify for the government program. The Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control, which goes by the acronym BAFA, said it has attempted to hold talks with Tesla in recent months on the issue, but has failed to reach agreement. The subsidy is available for electric cars that cost no more than 60,000 euros, which is the list price for the basic Model S. But Tesla has been unable until now to deliver the basic model to its German clients, and more expensive trims do not qualify.

Treasury Yields Rise as Investors Show Appreciation for Consistency of Fed Chair Powell’s Hawkish Message
The consistency in Powell’s message on Wednesday was the highlight of his testimony. U.S. Treasury yields rose on Wednesday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony. His hawkish message strongly supported the idea that the Fed will raise interest rates at least two more times in 2018. It was a bad day for the U.S. housing sector. U.S. homebuilding fell to a nine-month low in June and permits declined for a third straight month. The Fed’s Beige Book showed that manufacturers in every one of the Federal Reserve’s 12 districts worried about the impact of tariffs, even as the U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate to modest pace.

Why is this market more troubled by rising U.S. interest rates than trade tariffs?
Much like Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams’ play “A Street Car Named Desire,” the U.S. has “always depended on the kindness of strangers,” or at least it has for quite a long time. President Donald Trump’s escalation of the trade war between the U.S. and all our major trading partners has raised concerns that foreigners will respond to Trump’s “America First” protectionism by cutting back on their purchases of U.S. debt. Furthermore, Trump’s tariffs may boost inflation in the U.S. by increasing the cost of imports.
