The German auto makers would like to see trade tensions ratcheted down and this would definitely be a step in the right direction. This proposal is being presented to the White House. Hopefully more progress like this can be seen elsewhere and with other countries. In other news, MBA Mortgage Applications rose 5.1% with the Purchase Index up 4.0% and Refi's up 6.0%.
