I'm in the copper metals business and no one really knows if 50% tariffs are kicking in or not on Friday August 1?

I'm on "tariff component impact Jul v2.2.4". Excited to roll over into August

The US dollar index (after steady declines) says... Who knows

(I'd expect gains in the dollar index to cause drops in the market at this point)

Rocky,
The first week of my European sojourn, I found myself laughing every day.  My mother-in-law would share the daily US $ - Polish zloty exchange rate.  Apparently she checks everyday and was very upset because it has tanked since the beginning of the year. 
She was last person I'd expect to be reviewing daily.  She wants her US retirement savings to go further and longer.

They should finally revalue the Iraqi dinar

Our pres said a weak dollar is good for the US. She should manage her expectations accordingly.

I met with my large customer, Molex, yesterday at company HQ in Germany.  They said Molex has a volunteer team of 15-20 people that meets daily to figure out what are the daily current tariff rates for what countries and what products are affected.  It affects their suppliers and product sales to their customers.  He said there are days the group can't even figure out that day.
