WASHINGTON – Buying binges by consumers and companies can power the economy yet catapult the trade deficit. A weaker dollar can help U.S. manufacturers but hurt American shoppers.

p/s – after a string of bad performance and news, Ajax seems to have find it form in the last two matches.
Today, Ajax drilled 4 goals behind second placed AZ Alkmaar. AZ earlier this week won its away match against Villareal and making them closer the UEFA semifinal.
With Ajax’s win, the team has returned to the third place, with one point behind AZ. However, Ajax has played an extra game compared to both AZ and Feyenoord.

PSV is first and has possibly secured the Dutch crown.
