In
a time when China is losing between a third and half of its pig herds
as a result of the unprecedented decimation unleashed by African swine
fever - less affectionately known as pig ebola - which has sent wholesale pork prices in China soaring to all time highs...
... China is increasingly finding itself at America's mercy.
・・・中国は米国の慈悲に頼らざるを得ないという状況におちいりつつある。
As Bloomberg reports, as China's hog herd is collapsing, Beijing's imports of U.S. pork exploded to a weekly record.
ブルームバーグによると、中国の養豚は崩壊状態だ、米国から中国への豚肉輸入は爆発的に増えている。
According to USDA data, in the week ended Oct. 3, pig imports soared
to 142,200 metric tons, more than 7 times greater than September's total
shipments of 19,900 tons.
China signaled it may import as much as 400,000 tons to stem a
domestic shortfall, and it now appears that the US may be the easiest
source of said pigs, which needless to say grants the US substantial
leverage in the ongoing trade talks. The swine fever outbreak killed
millions of pigs. The country also appeared poised to boost purchases of
agriculture products as a good-will gesture before talks between
Washington and Beijing on easing trade tensions.
Meanwhile, as BBG notes, volatility in hog futures in Chicago has
surged to a record, spurred by speculation on exactly when Chinese
demand would finally surface. The answer: right now.
Manhattan Home Prices Tumble Most Since 2010...

Additionally, inventory growth finally looks to be slowing down. 価格上昇が必ずしも良いニュースではないことが判明した、マンハッタンの住宅が１年に及ぶ低迷で十分に下落し等々買い手がつくようになった。更に加えて、在庫増加が等々鈍化し始めた。 Manhattan home prices were thrashed again in April, falling the most since 2010 - but this time, there may be somewhat of a silver lining. The falling prices caused buyers to "pounce", resulting in 1,193 homes under contract during the month - more than any month since April of 2015, according to data provided by Bloomberg and StreetEasy. Perhaps deflation is not so evil afte
コメント欄に詳しい解説が書き込まれています。 英語でいうところの「buy back」と「insider buy」は異なる概念です。日本語の記事でどちらも自社株買いとされていることがあり、これを混同すると意味不明の記事になってしまいます。 The Great Stock Buyback Debate Written by Lance Roberts | May, 2, 2019 I recently wrote about stock buybacks in our weekly newsletter. However, a recent report from Axios noted that for 2019, IT companies are again on pace to spend the most on stock buybacks this year, as the total looks set to pass 2018’s $1.085 trillion record total. 最近私は週間記事で自社株買いに関して議論した。しかしながら、Axiosの最近の2019報告書によると、IT企業は再び今年その規模を増やしている、２０１８年は＄１．０８５Tと記録的規模だったが、今年はこれを超えそうだ。 “By the numbers: Companies so far have spent $272 billion on buybacks, data compiled by Mike Schoonover, COO of Catalyst Funds, for Axios shows. 「数値を見る限り：企業は＄２７２Bをすでに自社株買いに費やした、数値の解釈はMike Schoonoverによるものだ、彼はCatalyst FundsのCOOだ、Axiosがデータを示す。 Between the lines: The amount of spending on buybacks announced by companies in the IT sector has fallen significantly this year as other industries, par
