US Trade Deficit Falls In 2019, First Drop In 6 Years
The United States has been in debt to other countries, specifically China, for years. Recently however, the trade deficit held with China has decreased for a few reasons. One being President Trump's trade policy, and the other being America is now starting to import goods from other countries like Canada and Mexico rather than the U.S. The opportunity that resides here is that of other manufacturers in other countries selling goods to America. Because America is now looking for goods in other countries, this could mean a big growth for manufactures that produce in those countries other than China. I found this by doing a quick search on how the U.S. economy is doing and what has been changing.

Wednesday's Stock Market Open: US Equities Rise On Hopes For Coronavirus Vaccine, Oil Prices Jump
After the news from China and the U.K. that scientists there have been making advancements towards a cure for the Coronavirus, stock prices have increased. There is now an opportunity here for people with stocks or that are looking to buy stocks. Now that the stock market is rising, stocks have more value that can be sold for more money or held onto as their value increases. I found this opportunity because I like to play around with stocks, so I know a little about the markets.
Regulatory Trend 1:
Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Regulatory Changes
Some regulatory changes are in discussion that would affect the citizens in the state of Kansas. These changes would increase the length of certain hunting seasons. As well as the allowing of night vision and thermal cameras to be used for hunting animals valued for their pelts. The opportunity here is that longer hunting seasons means a greater chance more people will be hunting which would lead to an increase of purchasing hunting gear and ammo. Also, the allowing of night vision and thermal cameras means there could be a jump in sales which would affect the manufacturers of those products. I saw this opportunity because I have family in the hunting community and understand that hunters vigilantly watch for regulatory changes that could affect them.

I saw this opportunity because I actually have some money in crypto currency and can see how these regulatory changes effect my money as well as others.
Hi Garrett, I also chose an article explaining the impacts to the economy due to the coronavirus. It is interesting to learn about not only the health effects of the virus but also the economic impacts in China as well as other countries. The coronavirus has severely impacted international operations for the US and various countries. It is scary how quickly the virus is spreading in China.
