Should Tech Giants Pursue Government Contracts Amid U.S. Tariff Turmoil

What the Federal Reserve does? The Fed, the US central bank, has consistently made headlines as its decisions can affect global economic trends. As investors, we need to know the basics about the Fed to make more informed investment decisions. The Creation of the Fed The story began in the 19th century when the US saw its banking and monetary systems expand exponentially thanks to the booming industrial economy after the Civil War. However, the inflexible currency circulation and supply couldn't meet people's needs. These destabilizing factors resulted in panic and bank runs. The severe panic in 1907 triggered the first global financial crisis of the 20th century. But it also brought about a wave of monetary reforms. In 1913, to stabilize the domestic banking system, and meet the public's
How Companies Can Adapt to Ongoing Trade Tariffs Shift Supply Chains Domestically or to Non-Tariffed Regions Companies heavily reliant on imports subject to tariffs (e.g., from China, Canada, or Mexico) can reduce costs by sourcing materials or manufacturing domestically This requires upfront investment but can enhance long-term resilience.

Companies with strong brands or essential goods (e.g., consumer staples) are better positioned to pass costs along. Alternatively, those with robust margins might absorb costs temporarily to maintain market share, especially in competitive sectors like retail or tech. Diversify Revenue Streams Comp
