The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets.  Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets.  So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©

Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.

Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.

This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

The Mexican deal is ‘done’ on the negotiating side.

A possible Canadian trade deal-looms. Of course, once finished, those will have to go to Congress. The E.U. and Trump Administration trade negotiators have made certain promises.

But China is playing harder to get. That, indicates signals, could be behind the recent decision to cancel a planned trip by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo back to North Korea.

With economic and consumer signals up, before taking off for rally planned in Indiana tonight, the President of the United States (POTUS) sat down with Bloomberg this evening.

If they don’t shape up, I would withdraw from the WTO,” [World Trade Organization] President Trump said in an interview today with Bloomberg at the White House.

POTUS Trump said last month that the U.S. was being treated “very badly” by the WTO for many years and that the Geneva-based body needs to “change their ways.”

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer has said allowing China into the WTO in 2001 was a mistake, said Bloomberg. Lighthizer has called for the U.S. to take a more aggressive approach regarding the WTO.  He believes the WTO is unable of dealing with a non-market economy such as China.

Furthermore, Lighthizer accused the WTO dispute-settlement system of interfering with U.S. sovereignty, notably on anti-dumping cases.

Bloomberg noted that the U.S. has been blocking the appointment of judges to the WTO’s appeals body, raising the possibility that it could cease to function in the coming years.

MHProNews, not Bloomberg, notes it all reads like parts of “The Art of the Deal.”

Regarding Sessions, who’s been under fire from the president for some time, voices on Capital Hill have urged him to do nothing until after the midterms, saying it would be difficult to get a replacement confirmed at this time.

But there are a few pundits who’ve speculated that the POTUS Trump – AG Sessions spat is a head fake for the media and anti-Trumpers. Stranger things have happened. Time will tell.
