Trump Administration Trade Deals Are Opening Opportunities for Investors

Vice President Mike Pence

Trump administration trade deals are opening opportunities for investors as bilateral agreements are reached with Japan, Great Britain and Canada, despite China balking at further opening its market, ending its theft of U.S. intellectual property and stopping the forced transfer of technology from U.S. companies.

Top investment experts have found stocks and funds that should benefit from the trade deals that have been agreed to thus far and not hurt much by the fallout of the faltering U.S.-China trade negotiations. Even if China is trying to drag out the trade talks until after the next U.S. presidential election in hopes a weak negotiator is elected, the Trump administration still is achieving progress with its more receptive trade partners.

“I consider myself a purist on trade, as I think governments should not be in the business of erecting exchange barriers between individuals,” said Jim Woods, editor of Successful Investing and Intelligence Report. “If a trade deal with Japan, Great Britain and Canada gets done, that is an aggregate positive for the all nations, as well as the global economy.”

Woods favors stocks in Canada over Japan and Great Britain, simply because that country has the best economic outlook going forward. He specifically likes the benchmark Canada exchange-traded fund (ETF), the iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC), to gain exposure to the country’s equity market. Moreover, that fund has slightly outpaced the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) in terms of total return year to date.

“Asia is a lot more than China,” said New York-based money manager Hilary Kramer, who has notched eight straight profitable trades for an average of 12 percent per position after the recent launch of her 2-Day Trader advisory service. “The Trump administration recognizes that the products that came from Chinese factories can just as easily be sourced to traditional regional allies like Taiwan, South Korea or Japan, as well as countries like Vietnam, India and Indonesia where we have emerging relationships. That’s where new trade treaties can make a huge difference.”
