    Breaking news: Donald Trump is going to "make America's showers great again" by easing rules restricting water flow, the White House says.

    The US president is ordering the energy secretary to rescind a change introduced by Barack Obama that restricted multi-nozzle showers from discharging over 2.5 gallons of water per minute overall.
    This served "a radical green agenda that made life worse for Americans", the White House said, as Trump criticised the "ridiculous" amount of time he says it takes to wet his hair in the shower.

    I would have guessed he was a bath kinda guy.😲 Laser focussed on the issues of the day

      Let’s hope he moves onto the less important stuff like the Ukrainian war and sorting out the trade wars

          PHE and PHT both seem to have dipped in the last 24-48hrs, despite markets being up sharply in that time frame. Am I reading the graphs wrongly?

            HI Oli,

            The last 3 days was a big reversal(gain) followed by a Dip, followed by a modest gain(yesterday).

              What direction might we expect on Monday given Trump's reversal of China tariffs for (some) tech products?

              The obvious answer would be gains for tech stocks but I know it's not that simple...

                I also notice that Trump has been making noises about pharma taxes; how do we see that one playing out?

                  You’d expect the likes of Apple to get a good tick up …but like Monty Pythons Spanish Inquisition…expect the unexpected

                    Trumps taken a wrecking ball to the US economy, people trust him even less than they did before, so I think it will be some time before things recover, no matter how good the companies are trust in america has been eroded.

                    What's the point of doing a deal with him, when he'll change his mind the next day, next month or next year.

                    Markets need stability, not constantly changing direction with an unpredictable president.

                      Our main Pharma holding is Vertex. They have majority manufacturing presence in Boston, Massachusetts, where they use a cutting-edge continuous manufacturing facility for cystic fibrosis drugs like Trikafta. Their golden goose.
