Global Trade Patterns Will Forever Change

[errolanderson]

Market instability possible this week . . . China digging-in on Trump trade aggression. China now rejecting U.S. trade talks over the weekend.

Continued commodity deflationary pressures seen even as U.S. stocks rally on corporate buybacks. . . an odd combo that is not sustainable for the long haul. VIX volatility index apt to show some spark . . . .

good post Vicki

I would agree , the Chinese are probably tough to deal with.

but they seem to have a global strategy securing to the raw material's they need .
they have the knowledge and labor already.
the end game is an economic dominance in the world rather than a military one
and little bumps from Trump are not stopping them.

300 million customers out of 7 billion is just a bump

maybe Trump really has me fooled and there is a genius in there somewhere.

sorry guys , just can not see it .
all I see is a dense bully.

he is a loose cannon , rolling back and forth across the deck. and everyone just tries to stay
the hell out of the way.
no genius involved
