The second-quarter earnings season has largely come in much better than expected for U.S. stocks. But while investors may be viewing that as a sign the economy is firing on all cylinders, some of the move is due to the U.S. government doing quite the opposite.

Weakness in the U.S. dollar—a byproduct of gridlock in Washington, which has stalled hoped-for progress on legislation like tax reform—has been a major contributor to improved results in the quarter, particularly for the technology sector, which has been leading broader stock-market gains this year.
According to Goldman Sachs, “dollar weakness contributed to a 14% rise in earnings per share during [the first quarter], the highest pace of growth since 2011.” The second-quarter reporting season is still ongoing, but whereas the U.S. dollar index fell 1.6% over the first quarter, it dropped 4.9% over the second, suggesting the earnings boost could be larger.

  2. Loan Opportunity Offered By Mr, Benjamin That Save My Family From Financial Bondage {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com}

    Hello Everyone, I am Putri Adiratnaa single mom from Jakarta, I would like to share this great testimony on how I got a loan from Mr, Benjamin, when we were driven out of our home when I couldn't pay my bills anymore, After being scammed by various companies online and denied a loan from my bank and some other credit union I visited. My children were taken by the foster care, I was all alone in the street. The day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to Daisy Maureen. At first I told her that I am not ready to take any risk of requesting a loan online anymore, but she assured me that I will receive my loan from them. On a second thought, due to my homelessness I had to take a trial and applied for the loan, luckily for me I received a loan of $80,000.00 from Mr, Benjamin. I'm happy I took the risk and applied for the loan. My kids have been given back to me and now I own a home and a business of my own. All thanks and gratitude goes to Le_Meridian Funding Service and for the help of Mr, Benjamin for giving me a meaning to life when i had lost all hope.
