China Foreign Ministry’s Lin: China Vows Firm Response To US Tariffs

"NZ Inc could come off not too badly when all is said and done" This part I agree with wholeheartedly. A decoupling between the US and China will only be good for NZ and AU. New alliances that will prosper while the US languishes in self imposed ...

RBNZ April Monetary Policy Review Update

Yes they will put the market at risk. No company owner (large or small), board, CEO, CFO, COO is going to invest a single cent in the circus that the US has now become. It's simply uneconomical to do so. They will instead, start piece by piece ...

The Global Week Ahead: Why the Fed’s Not Coming to the Rescue

Trump overrides Congress to grant TikTok an extension. Here's why that matters

I don't think you understand. the tariffs will not be paid by other countries selling to the US. It will be paid by US manufacturers/producers who import from overseas. It is for all intents and purposes a 10-30% sales tax on American companies and ...

The Global Week Ahead: Why the Fed’s Not Coming to the Rescue

Of course it's newsworthy. It's BASEBALL big bucks !!! Go Dodgers. Yankees will be better off without him (Judge can shine) and the Mets have gained a real winner. Go Mets. NYM v LAD World Series. Sweet. (Just for Coreg )

The key sentences in this article - "The revenue collected by tariffing importers — who pass the costs on to consumers" and "Tariff revenue will help pay down the national debt, a claim Trump repeated Wednesday at the White House." Just imagine if ...

What Trump says he’s trying to accomplish with tariffs

Good article. CBDC's are already being used to settle international contracts of trade. Blockchain is not beholden to anyone, least of all the US. A good thing.

Why Trump's policies are forcing countries to distrust the U.S. and the dollar

Much ado about nothing (except domestic inflation will go up, so will the USD and treasury yields, and the Fed's hands will be tied as Powell has already acknowledged). The Trump Two Step playbook is already known. Overplayed his hand this time ...

Trump: Maybe tomorrow night, Wednesday you will see tariff detail

Exactly. They will move full production to their own countries and leave the US to its own devices. Too much risk. That much has been made more than obvious with the flip flop whims of the new Commander in Chief. Business needs certainty. Not ...

Trump: If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large...

I think of the many Latino housekeepers, gardeners, domestic cleaners for commercial buildings, public toilets, grounds staff etc. People who are hard workers, loyal to their employers, stay in the job because they need the money to support family ...

Trump: If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large...

There are shades of grey in all things. I don't agree with illegals with criminal backgrounds, but I do recognise that many illegals in the US do in fact provide a service that "regular" Americans will not or would prefer not to, so to me it is a ...

Nobody would read it Van. The first rule of setting up a belief system is to make a point of not reading or allowing any contrary views. The opening stanza of the Tao te Ching "The Way that can be Named, is not the Way". So every belief system ...

Except it won't play out as he thinks. He underestimates the strength of his so called frenemies. The EU, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, India and China will all do just fine without the US. We will prosper, while Florida et al passes laws to allow 14yo ...

Trump: If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large...

Save your breath. It's not about the facts or details, it's about the skin deep optics only. Do have to hand it to Trump, he knows his audience (aka intellectual brainpower of a gnat). Outsourcing has made great wealth for the USA. Maybe someone ...

It's all quite bonkers isn't it? You insult your best friends, then tell them if they get upset with you and they decide they want to play together without you in the sandpit, you're gonna get even more cross and insult them even more. Yeah, that's ...

Trump: If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large...

Don't ever write off the lil' Aussie battler (or the Kiwi for that matter). Both charts have inverted bull hammers on the monthly charts. Higher time frames rule the day. Would have been helpful to see some balance in this article. We have a number ...

The Australian Dollar Unravels as Trump’s Tariffs Go For The Chokehold

Resilient to his sudden back tracking, yes. Inclined to think it's already priced in given it hasn't actually happened yet and he keeps moving the tariff goal posts. More a case of the boy who cried wolf, imo. Market will make up its own mind how ...

Trump says 'today is the big one: reciprocal tariffs'
