As previously mentioned, there were very few economic data releases yesterday but Donald Trump chose to continue his attack on Robert Mueller. There have been reports that Mueller is closely reading Trump’s Tweets for evidence that he is trying to improperly influence the investigation.
It makes for a fascinating run up to the November midterm elections, when we should get a real indication of how Trump is being received by the American public. The Republicans are facing a fight to hold onto the House of Representatives, but a lot can happen between now and then.
Today is another quiet day for economic data, but the political fireworks could continue for some time yet.
