the trade war is no-longer-believed in by the seeing-forward financial markets, seems just as the s.korean market never believed in eventuality of hot war w/ n.korea all seems a lot of to & fro amounting to not very much so am guessing socks manufacturing and such will not be returning to n.american shores anytime soon all the players dropped their trousers and bad for the japanese that abe showed his hands too soon and reinforced traditional animus without picking up brownie points, iow, betrayed just as well, else china inc would have had to make an example of japan to show team usa what a real trade war looks like, by once again shutting down japan's rare earth flow as was done once to rescue a captured china fishing boat captain am further guessing team china shall propose a face-saving way for wh to step off of the stage and declare a win, by announcing "further reform shall happen" or some such obvious program already on in the script given such, remx can return to its quietly diminishing trajectory finance.yahoo.com bloomberg.com Kudlow Says Trump’s China Tariffs Are Just Proposals Right Now More stories by Jennifer JacobsApril 5, 2018, 5:30 AM GMT+8 By Jennifer Jacobs and Nick Wadhams Larry Kudlow arrives at the White House on April 4. Photographer: Yuri Gripas/Bloomberg White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow stressed U.S. tariffs announced on Chinese goods are still only proposals that might never take effect as the Trump administration sought to tamp down fears of a trade war. “None of the tariffs have been put in place yet, these are all proposals,” Kudlow said in an interview Wednesday with Bloomberg News. “We’re putting it out for comment. There’s at least two months before any actions are taken.” Administration officials throughout the day emphasized the U.S. is willing to negotiate with China, helping to ease concerns among investors about a tit-for-tat trade conflict. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, after falling more than 2 percent at the market’s open, finished the day up almost 1 percent. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said China’s response isn’t expected to disrupt the U.S. economy. In an interview on CNBC on Wednesday, he said China’s announcement of retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. “shouldn’t surprise anyone.” He said the U.S. isn’t entering “World War III” and left the door open for a negotiated solution. “Even shooting wars end with negotiations,” Ross said. Earlier Wednesday, China said it would impose an additional 25 percent levy on about $50 billion of U.S. imports including soybeans, automobiles, chemicals and aircraft. The move matched the scale of proposed U.S. tariffs announced the previous day. The U.S. is allowing 60 days for public feedback and hasn’t specified when the tariffs would take effect, leaving a window open for talks. Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai said Wednesday his country is ready to negotiate. “Negotiations would still be our preference, but it takes two to tango,” Cui said. — With assistance by Andrew Mayeda

hmmmnnn besides watching russian metal share listed in hong kong, let's watch china tech shares listed is usa the trade war could be of great merit in a hurry reuters.com Rusal shares plunge over 40 percent on U.S. sanctions HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares of Russian aluminum giant United Company Rusal Plc ( 0486.HK) plunged as much as 41.8 percent on Monday as investors bailed on the stock after it was included in a new list of U.S. sanctions targeting Russian companies and their owners. Shares in Rusal, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, fell to HK$2.70 in late morning trade, its lowest since October 2016. That compared with 1.76 percent rise in the benchmark Hang Seng index .HSI. “Investors were rushing to square their position or doing what they need to do with their exposure to the stock and to those shares which are sanction and trade war sensitive,” said Steven Leung, a sales director at UOB Kay Hian. Washington imposed sanctions on Friday on seven Russian oligarchs, including Rusal’s former President Oleg Deripaska, 12 companies they own or control, as well as 17 senior Russian government officials. The Russian individuals and companies were targeted for profiting from a Russian state engaged in “malign activities” around the world. Rusal’s shares ( RUAL.MM) dropped 16 percent on the Moscow Exchange on Friday. The company on Friday said that it regretted its inclusion on the new U.S. sanctions list, adding that its advisors were studying the situation. “The company’s initial assessment is that it is highly likely that the impact may be materially adverse to the business and prospects of the group,” the company said in a filing to the Hong Kong bourse on Monday. It said further evaluations were being carried out to assess the impact of the sanctions. Rusal assesses that the sanctions may result in technical defaults in relation to certain credit obligations of the group, and the company is evaluating the impact of such technical defaults on its financial position. ( bit.ly/2GI9Zs1) A Hong Kong-based equity sales director said on Monday the stock prices are under pressure because the sanctions require investors subject to U.S. jurisdiction to ditch the stocks within a month. The U.S. Treasury Department said investors have until May 7 “to divest or transfer debt, equity, or other holdings” in EN+, Rusal and Russian vehicle maker GAZ ( GAZA.MM).
