Economic Recovery: Handle With Care



New data shows the economy is getting better...but recovery is fragile and largely dependent on historic government intervention. 

Retail sales for June gained 7.5%, a sign that Americans started spending again as states eased lockdowns and people received a heavy dose of extra income from the government. If you exclude purchases at gas stations—which fluctuate widely based on oil prices—retail sales just climbed back to a record high. 

Rising COVID-19 caseloads could put the momentum in retail sales at risk in July.

A few lessons from the oil crash

The date of April 20, 2020, will go down in history as the 1st time the price of a barrel of oil crashed below zero. The price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, compounded by the unexpected impacts of coronavirus, sent the value of oil spiraling in mid-February.

What does all this mean for small and medium-sized businesses? 

* If, as a small or medium-sized business, you’re heavily invested in oil-related industries, now is a good time to diversify your portfolio.

* Consumer and business prices for oil-related products aren’t determined by the base price of a barrel of oil. There are other costs involved, including refining, distribution, packaging, etc. While slightly lower prices are likely, you shouldn’t count on pumping stations offering petrol for free just yet.

* Taxpayer-Backed Loans for SMBs Went to the Fossil Fuel Industry

Result:

Good financial management is essential to small and medium businesses. Many companies will shut down as a result of what’s happened over the last few months. And an even greater number will struggle to get back on their feet. That's why it's important to cut costs with no upfront fees at  BusinessRefund.com
