YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 set new highs Thursday with news of China planning to cut average tariffs rates on imports as soon as next month. The stock market’s rise coincided with a pause in the U.S. dollar’s climb and a recent spike in government-bond yields, a signal investors are viewing next week’s expected increase in interest rates from the Federal Reserve as a testament to the strength of the economy.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won his third straight three-year term as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Thursday, clearing the way for Abe to carry on championing the ultra-loose monetary policy that has helped Japan achieve its strongest period of economic growth since the 1990s.
