Talk of a USA, Europe trading zone. Seems to me Australia could esily be include in this bloc considering our ties with The US and Europe. One thing not on the horizon seems to be a reduction in cancer rates. And currently around half the people developing many cancers die from it. This suprises me because people can do a lot to reduce there risk of developing cancer and its severity. It seems to me this is positive for the investment in stocks that might produce ground breaking new treatments for cancer. The developed western countries are the most valuable for most drugs. China, India and other asian countries have big biotech and pharmaceutical industries, who knows if they wont discover block buster treatments for cancer.
