Trump - Part, Not Art of the Deal

Trump - Part, Not Art of the Deal

US President Donald Trump has said that there will be no further stimulus discussions with Democrats until after the elections, but subsequently indicated that he might be open to smaller, standalone support plans. The back-and-forth has sparked volatility in US markets, so we ask Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics & Strategy at Mizuho Bank for his thoughts on what options are still available to the Fed, his predictions for oil, as well as whether a new Supplementary Supply Bill will be enough to save his home country of Singapore from recession.
