Bush argued the "genius" of the U.S. economy is its ability to withstand financial shocks, as he signed a bill to put $152 billion in taxpayers' hands in a bid to avoid a recession. Stimulus Febr., 08 did not avoid crash. Why stimulus today will prompt economy back into action? People are not looking to this in a realistic manner.

Does it infer that inflation is getting ready to explode in China, and that rates will have to move much higher than expected in order to stop it? 4.5% CPI inflation vs. 2.5% Deposit rates isn't a good sign. The growth is amazing. China's M-2 was 50% of US M-2 in April 2005. Today it is 121% of US M-2 No wonder China has been such a "feel-good" story.... See attached. M

Recently, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that its annual quota of 8 billion yuan for trade settlements had been reached, forcing it to tap a currency swap agreement with the People’s Bank of China for more. Banks in Hong Kong were surprised that a quota even existed. Andy Xie on China’s Striptease Act blogs.wsj.com Trust Andy Xie to have some strong words to put a damper on the yuan party. Mr. Xie, a former Morgan Stanley economist, said Chinese leaders are able to put a “ceiling” or a “cage” around any new initiative to do with the yuan’s internationalization, with the size of the cage determined arbitrarily by China’s leaders. Until there is political reform there can be no freely convertible currency, he said, without explaining further.
