Trump taps a strident Powell critic for spot on Fed board
- AnniLi commented Mar 20, 2019
Does 'normalization' have any meaning? Its 10 years plus since GFC. How normalized along the path has USA moved and what are the key parameters? Under current admin I have no idea at all.

Fifty years of fifty/fifty. No direction is the correct way from now on.

Interesting there was not much follow-up (nothing ) on FF to this story in spite of all major US channels (including FOX) giving regular on the hour updates through until today (March 18 NZ Time). Guess people needed time for the facts to come out ...

Sadly, there is no analysis of whether the Bridge is now expected to be a failure or success for the region. Increasingly we want to see hard evidence behind such stories whether the initiative is from USA, China or New Zealand.
How China hit a roadblock on its way to central and eastern Europe
- AnniLi commented Mar 18, 2019
Likely, possibly, possibly, maybe or not. One theme to make your mind up about is that global weakness (growth momentum) is over or is not over and going to get worse. I think its over and advise you not to get too excited yet pending some view from ...

US Dollar Correction may Continue
- AnniLi commented Mar 14, 2019
The general point here is that pegged exchange rates demand policy disciplines (often difficult), deep pockets, loss of policy freedoms, and occasional lapses. The UK failed the first three which gave Soros the opportunity. Switzerland also claims ...
The Hong Kong Dollar Peg is Highly Fragile and Nearing a 'Tipping Point'

Current US administration has fewer than 21 effective months to go. I expect that forces will start to coalesce at the WH around a much more positive global picture with attendant 'softening' of rhetoric and talking up achievements. It was always ...
US Pres. Trump: No Rush To Complete China Trade Deal

I don't see the PM in a crisis but one person could not reverse the decision to have a referendum, the choices of all of the voters, the hospital pass from Cameron, and an extremely tight general election just for starters. The crisis is that UK ...

Thank you for the conversation. Economics has a long reputation as 'the dismal science' and during many years the bulk of professional economists has always emphasised that there are no crystal balls - models and their analyses (including forecasts) ...
Why Economics Must Get Broader Before It Gets Better
- AnniLi commented Mar 12, 2019
From a trader's viewpoint it is beyond time now to ignore GBP pairs for some time. Businesses, abroad and at home, now face a very extended period of uncertainty about what sort of future the UK is targetting rather the mere likelihood of success ...

Your question is not a useful one to ask. It is akin to asking a medical specialist for a degree of accuracy beyond reason and experience. You do want to ask what are the appropriate treatments which are likely to succeed. You are suggesting ...
