- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (DECEMBER 30, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) SPARTAN CAPITAL, CHIEF MARKET ECONOMIST, PETER CARDILLO, SAYING: "Well, I'm optimistic on 2020. And the reason why I'm optimistic is that these two big events, that is the trade events, are going to boost the economy by at least 0.3 to 0.4 of a, percent. And the big one will be the U.S., Canada, Mexico deal. And, of course, the relaxation between China and the United States will also help. And that should also add some spark to the economy. And, I think, the biggest thing is that we can avoid is China perhaps heading towards a hard landing. And so that's key for the global economy. And that's all due to the prospects of the North American trade deal. And, of course, the relaxation between China and the United States."
