Everybody’s Talkin’

• European negotiators got the green light this week to get started on trade negotiations with the U.S., with a target of getting something done by September.
• Meanwhile, the U.S. and China continue to talk and the latter is considering a request from the former to shift some tariffs on agricultural goods to other products, just as U.S. soybean shipments slump.
• All in all, the four biggest economies in the world are now gripped by trade negotiations.
