     @GossiTheDog This isn't good news.

     What's worse though is that 1997 is 28 years ago. How did that happen?

     US corporate credit spreads. It's the measure for reflecting the risk premium investors demand for holding corporate debt. The jump is okay for now... but if it continues, it will match the 3 prior recessions in US.

     The World Trade Organization says America’s tariffs have created “trade policy uncertainty has a significant dampening effect on trade flows, reducing exports and weakening economic activity” in the US, with “severe downside risks".

     It says Asia will see modest trade increases.
