China's tariffs effects ..

S&P futures dropped after China raised tariffs on U.S. goods from 34% to 84%. Treasury yields rose to 4.46%, and the WSJ Dollar Index continued to fall. Deutsche Bank’s George Saravelos warns that U.S. assets — stocks, bonds, and the dollar — are collapsing together, signaling rapid "de-dollarization" as markets lose faith in U.S. assets.

If China uses the option to sell the bonds, interest rates would rise even further. They still have $700 billion in bonds, which is still a very high amount and could be used if the situation required it. $50 billion today, $50 tomorrow, another $50 the day after tomorrow and so on. Together with the unwind of the basis trade happening now, this would be the best time to use this pressure lever.

"It's totally different when we do it!"



Yes, that's the official Twitter account of the US Department of Energy.
It seems to me Trump and His minions are hell bent on going back from the future. You got the 20th Century Tariff and 19th Century edicts and laws. What is next? Is Trump going to resurrect the steam powered Train? Cars? or Horse and Carriage?
