Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey said the threat of trade barriers being enacted by the U.S. could be positive for the price of gold, and could draw countries like Canada and Mexico closer together. Like other industry executives, he says he is watching to see how things unfold over the next year as President Trump wields tariffs on specific imports and threatens even close trading allies with levies.
Booking Holdings Chief Executive Glenn Fogel said the strong demand seen in recent months isn't likely to let up. One factor helping stretch travel budgets is a stronger dollar. Fogel said U.S. travelers are showing strong demand for international trips, with data showing several cities throughout Europe and Japan as popular vacation spots. Foreign travelers, though, could be less likely to visit the U.S. right now due to unfavorable exchange rates, he said.
