with me around the table, andy chorlton, kathy jones, and jay berry.ternational diplomacy a risk for the global bond market? kathy jones, is that something you even have to think about over the next week? kathy: we have had a few surprises recently when it comes to the international diplomacy. and obviously, the big thing we worry about is the trade outlook. because that has the potential to impact global growth and fed policy and central-bank policy and inflation, etc. but at this stage of the game, we tend to shrug these off quickly. jonathan: because they take so long to burn through, jay. and i guess the markets looking at the situation thinking, is a breakdown of diplomacy a risk to the global growth story? does it derail global growth? does it? jay: from our perspective, we do not think it does what has been -- does at this point. and with what has been announced on trade so far, it takes a little off of u.s. growth this year but nothing that changes our view on inflation or the fed or those developments. that is the first order of events for us.
