How to Cash In on the Transatlantic "Split" That's Got Nothing to Do with Trump's Tweets

by

Of course, last week, on June 6, the West marked the 74th anniversary of the allied "D-Day" landings in Normandy, France.

This anniversary, though, was capped off by a G7 summit in Charlevoix, Canada.

Right now, relations – at least, on the surface – between the modern Western allies are mighty frosty, dominated by Twitter and press conference feuds between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and U.S. President Donald Trump, largely over the subject of the multilateral trade war breaking out over protectionist tariffs. Of course, they've largely kept quiet on social media, but it's no secret British Prime Minister Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel aren't thrilled with Trump's positions, either.

I'm hard-pressed to recall any recent G7 (maybe call this "G6+1") meeting as tense as this one, though a few probably come close.

On the other hand, dispassionate observation and analysis of market action tell us that all this hostility and discord has been baked into prices – discounted.

He told me how to play this emerging situation that's coming and going - there are going to be some pretty big swings...

Editor's Note: Understandably, our Chief Investment Strategist is fielding Members' questions about what the increasingly volatile, downright scary situation on the Korean Peninsula means for their hard-earned cash. Here's what you need to know heading into this short holiday week…

North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un did the unthinkable and launched a missile over Japan last week.

Tens of thousands of cell phones went off at once at 6:02 a.m. last Monday, when that nation's government alerted citizens to the launch.

NHK – the nation's largest public broadcasting network – simultaneously flashed a "black screen" warning that the missile was approaching Japan and that everyone in its flight path should immediately take cover.

Air raid sirens blared in Sapporo on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island.

Trains stopped.

People took cover.

Fourteen minutes later, things returned to "normal" when the missile fell into the Pacific.

But, what exactly does that mean… "normal?"

That's hard to say...
