Tariffs

[otherclive]

The Heard and Macdonalds islands face a 10% tariff. They are Antarctic and inhabited by penguins. Wonder what they export apart from rancid odours.

The Orange One does really need to get a grip on reality doesn't he?
I could of course be wrong because Mr T keeps telling us he is a genius so he must know what he is doing, he does know, doesn't he?
The DOW is currently down 3.8%, and thats a lot.

Here’s a view of our possibilities. Who on earth had that job creating the 417 page indicative list?

My kids and grandkids have given me grief as I've just bought a Weber charcoal BBQ and it is actually made in USA. So I told them to poke off to Macdonalds or KFC😂

Some possible positive news WTI oil price for May delivery has slipped below $60 dollars a barrel. Brent will parallel WTI so should see a reduction in pump prices although the Exchequer may not see it as good news.

Pump prices/litre never seem to reduce when the world price/barrel drops - but pump prices always go up when the barrel price goes up!

Pump prices do reduce as oil price drops but at a far slower rate than they go up when oil prices rise. I find that quite a strange outcome, but I guess the retailers don’t 😢

Wonder if oil prices stay lower OFGEM might adjust the cap seeing that oil prices drive our energy prices with the link to gas and electric. Fat chance. 🤭
