In weak times like this, stock investors need to look through the noise and focus on the longer-term prospects of economy-wide profits and rising interest rates. Short-term factors have buffered the economy since 2020; this year, long-term fundamentals should re-assert themselves as the most critical drivers of economic and financial performance.

Although the US does not permit the use of antibiotics in shrimp and other shellfish, the sheer volume makes it difficult for the FDA to monitor all the supplies completely. Conclusion? Overall, shrimp is a healthy food that can fit well into a balanced diet but know its source. #BeInformed Is Shrimp Healthy?
