  • Moody's Downgrade: A Harbinger, Not a Game-Changer
    Aleksandar says, “The downgrade itself is next to meaningless,” but warns it signals deeper issues in U.S. economic policy reliability. The impact on Treasuries depends on global economic conditions, with the U.S. remaining a top option if other economies falter.
  • Tariffs: A Double-Edged Sword for American Consumers and Investors
    Aleksandar explains that tariffs, a tax on imports, reduce purchasing power by raising prices. He suggests shifting to domestic or lower-tariff products and budgeting wisely. "Some industries will benefit from tariffs," he notes, though fixed income markets may suffer. Investors should adapt to volatility and explore strategies to capitalize on these changes.
  • Tariffs on Consumer Electronics: Complex Impacts Ahead
    Aleksandar notes, "The effects of the tariffs on the consumer electronics industry will be considerable and also uncertain." With global supply chains, the impact hinges on tariff assessments. Immediate effects are significant, but long-term outcomes are uncertain, unlike simpler products like agriculture. Expect regulatory guidance and supply chain adjustments.
