According to Fathom Consulting,
a global independent macro research consultancy, it's proprietary China
Momentum Indicator 2.0 has slowed to 4.6% in June, the lowest reading since Aug. 2016.
独立系世界マクロコンサルタント Fathom Consultingによると、彼ら独自のChina Momentum Indicator 2.0が6月に4.6%まで減速した、2015年8月以来の低位だ。
There is also a growing gap between the China Momentum Indicator 2.0 at 4.6% and official GDP data at 6.2%. Might suggest China's economy hasn't yet bottomed, could continue to decline through 2H19 into 1H20.
China Momentum Indicator 2.0の4.6%と公式GDPデータ6.2%の間には大きな乖離がある。ということは中国経済はまだ底入れしていないことを示唆している、2019H2から2020H1にかけてさらに下落の可能性がある。
Gary Cohn, the former chief economic advisor to Donald Trump, has
said the slowdown predates the trade war and reflects a strategic
decision by China to rebalance the economy.
トランプ政権の元主任経済アドバイザ Gary Cohnによると、中国経済減速は貿易戦争前から始まっており、中国の経済再構築戦略を反映している。
Fathom notes that China's economy was even slowing before the rebalancing. Fathomの報告では、中国経済は再構築前から減速していた。
The global macro research firm said, "with the consumer share of total import demand on a downward trend since 2016, we also find little evidence to suggest that China is successfully rebalancing."
To combat dangerous crosscurrents of the trade war disrupting global
supply chains in and out of China, Chinese policymakers resorted to the
same playbook as before, pump the economy with record amounts of the
stimulus earlier in the year.
Currency depreciation came into the picture when President Trump
escalated the trade war by raising tariffs to 25% from 10% on $200
billion of Chinese goods in May. Then a massive devaluation of the
renminbi followed in early August, when the president slapped 10%
tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods, effective Sept. 1.
"Trade talks are continuing, and during the talks the U.S. will
start, on Sept. 1, putting a small additional Tariff of 10% on the
remaining 300 Billion Dollars of goods and products coming from China
into our Country...We look forward to continuing our positive dialogue
with China on a comprehensive Trade Deal, and feel that the future
between our two countries will be a very bright one!" Trump said in a
tweet last month.
Since the trade war began last March, the renminbi has
weakened 13% against the U.S. dollar, neutralizing some of the tariffs
imposed by the U.S. on imports from China. 昨年3月に貿易戦争が始まって以来、人民元は対米ドルで13%弱くなっている、これが米国の関税強化をある程度緩和している。
Currency devaluation undermines hopes for a soft landing, while
further infuriating the Trump administration who has recently branded
China as a currency manipulator.
And for more bad news, China has said its rebalancing will continue
through 2020 and offered a pessimistic view of how Beijing won't sign a
trade deal until after the November 2020 election. This would almost
guarantee China is allowing its export economy to weaken while
stimulating its domestic economy, all in the attempt to trigger a
recession in the U.S. to diminish President Trump's probabilities of
getting reelected.
The Next Decade Will Likely Foil Most Financial Plans by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021 - 15:20 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, There are many individuals in the market today who have never been through an actual “bear market.” These events, while painful, are necessary to “reset the table” for outsized market returns in the future. Without such an event, it is highly likely the next decade will foil most financial plans. 現在の市場参加者の多くは本当の「ベアマーケット」を経験していない。こういう事が起きると、痛みを伴うが、将来の大きなリターンを可能にするために必要なちゃぶ台返しとなる。これがないと、多くのファイナンシャルプランは今後10年ひどいことになりそうだ。 No. The March 2020 correction was not a bear market. As noted: 2020年3月の調整はベアマーケットと呼べるようなものではなかった。以前にも指摘したが: A bull market is when the price of the market is trending higher over a long-term period. ブル相場とは長期に渡り市場価格が上昇するものだ。 A bear market is when the previous advance breaks, and prices begin to trend lower. ベア相場とはこれまでの上昇が止まり、市場価格が下落し始めることだ。 The chart belo...
The Fed And The Treasury Have Now Merged by Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2020 - 14:21 Submitted by Jim Bianco of Bianco Research As I've argued, the Fed and the Treasury merged. Powell said this was the case today (from his Q&A): 私はこれまでも申し上げてきたが、すでにFEDと財務省は一体化している。Powell自身がこれに当たると今日話した(彼の Q&Aでのことだ): These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have. 我々FEDが今行っている一連のプログラムは、法に基づいており、それを実行している、私が注意喚起したが、 財務長官の同意を得ており、財政に関しては議会の承認も得ている。私どもは家計、ビジネス、連邦地方政府に貸付を行っている。議会の意向のもとに我々は行動している。以下ほどに損失が生じようともそれを財政的に支えている。 Our ability is limited...
What Could Go Wrong? The Fed's Warns On Corporate Debt by Tyler Durden Thu, 05/09/2019 - 11:44 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, “So, if the housing market isn’t going to affect the economy, and low interest rates are now a permanent fixture in our society, and there is NO risk in doing anything because we can financially engineer our way out it – then why are all these companies building up departments betting on what could be the biggest crash the world has ever seen? What is more evident is what isn’t being said. Banks aren’t saying “we are gearing up just in case something bad happens.” Quite the contrary – they are gearing up for WHEN it happens. When the turn does come, it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. The scale of it could be considerable because of the size of some...
