Dave Rahardja<p>I have a nagging feeling that we’re on the precipice of economic disaster, with only a brief reprieve because Trump decided to delay some tariffs (but still hammering Chinese imports with oppressive rates that US businesses and consumers will have to pay).</p><p>Today, indexes seem to be teetering on historic markers—not the worst they’ve been, but trending worse. 10-year T-bond rates are rising, but not at historic highs. US dollar index is slumping, but not at historic lows. The indexes have fallen, but they’re about the same as a year ago. Everything seems to be on edge of balance, ready to topple over.</p><p>I’m fearful for the encroaching “slowly, then all at once” moment.
