The trade war escalated Friday with the U.S. and China implementing new tariffs, and culminated with a Trump tweet "ordering" American companies to find an alternative to China operations. As a result, the markets gave up six days of gains and fell back to where it was last Thursday, closing at 2847 again. In other news Friday, Fed Chairman Powell released a statement from the annual central banking symposium in Jackson Hole that didn\'t give a clear suggestion of a rate cut in September which caused another brief inversion of the yield curve. For TSP TIPS, the strong demand for the safety of bonds resulted in the F fund hitting a new record high and leading all funds in performance ranking. Taking advantage of that bond demand while taking a more defensive equity position, we recommend the following reallocation.
