Dear eMBers,

INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Update 

Stocks are sliding. Not just in the US, but across the globe.

That’s because China has pulled back from the partial trade deal.

Although details got hashed out last Thursday and Friday, the deal has not been signed.

China insists that there are more details to work out.

Which markets took the biggest hit?

• The Stoxx Europe 600 Index
• S&P 500 Futures
• Switzerland’s SMI Index
• Germany’s DAX
• The MSCI Emerging Market Index
• The offshore yuan
• The British pound
• Turkey’s stock market and currency
  

 

Even bonds and commodities have taken a hit.

The troubled trade deal is only one of many factors creating unease in the financial markets.

Several key events are scheduled for this week. Upon release, markets will have a clearer understanding of what will come next.

 

• The IMF and Work Bank are meeting to discuss economic development and finance
• Bloomberg’s monetary and financial policy conference in London
• South Korean monetary policy decision on Wednesday
• US retail sales reports
• And China’s release of the 3rd quarter GDP

YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS

Warren and Facebook are at war.

And it’s hard to tell who (if anyone) is winning.

The first line of a recent ad she published on the platform reads as follows:

“Breaking news: Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook just endorsed Donald Trump for re-election.”

But it was a lie. And she’s “sorry, not sorry.”

“We intentionally made a Facebook ad with false claims and submitted it to Facebook’s ad platform to see if it’d be approved. It got approved quickly and the ad is now running on Facebook.”

It’s been a tough week for the social media platform. Between barbs from Warren and hard hits to the Libra, they just can’t seem to catch a win.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

This is by far the most bizarre impeachment process – EVER!

The rules change from one minute to the next.

Due process has been thrown out the window.

In an impeachment process brought on almost entirely by the concept of “quid pro quo”, Schiff now says that quid pro quo isn’t even necessary.

It’s obvious that he just wants Trump gone, at any cost.

 

The rules are constantly in flux. It’s next to impossible to figure out what’s going on.

And his ties to the whistleblower give more ammunition to his opponents. 

What we do know?

The Schiff Show will continue…

TRUMP IS WINNING

Like it or not, Trump is winning the Trade War.

 

Even if his efforts have some occasional setbacks. 

 

While China has yet to sign off on the Phase 1 truce, it’s clear that they’re feeling the pain.

 

Both imports and exports have fallen – more than expected. 

 

Shipments fell by 3.2%. But only a 2.8% decline was predicted. 

 

It was the biggest fall since February.

 

Imports also fel – 8.5%. Only 6.0% was expected. 

 

This is a trend we’ve seen all year long, with on exception in April.

 

If China fails to sign off of the Phase 1 truce, global markets could take an even bigger hit.

The goal?

 

Making sure “customers move in with confidence and certainty.”

 

Is it a gimmick or a gift?
