TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARBBC:
Last week the US government announced a financial stimulus plan which would involve about $145bn in tax cuts to encourage spending.
US bond markets, which were closed for a public holiday on Monday, are to reopen on Tuesday and many analysts say they could see sharp falls after markets worldwide reacted negatively on Monday.
Francis Lun of Fulbright Securities in Hong Kong said the falls stemmed from disappointment that the US stimulus was “too little, too late” adding that investors felt “it wouldn’t help the economy recover”.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
