Lower Costs Point to Better Profits
Costs have been rising over the past few years. For companies, the cost to manufacture goods has risen thanks to higher commodity prices, higher labor prices, and even higher regulatory costs. When any of those costs can go down, profits can improve. One big way to bring costs down quickly is for regulatory costs to drop. That can include lowering corporate tax rates, or lower tariffs on imported goods. The European Union is about to launch a 9% tariff on electric vehicles ...

It’s Still Early in the Rush for AI Leadership
While AI stocks have had a great run since ChatGPT launched in late 2022, we’re still in the early stages of the technology. Many who have used AI programs aren’t using them consistently.
