interesting GREED & fear take, just in in-tray Cock up or sabotage San Francisco The truce between China and America with regards to trade has now been agreed. The 90-day period agreed by both sides to come up with a deal should be sufficient to allow investors to hope for a satisfactory conclusion. This is particularly the case if more has been agreed between the two sides than has so far been admitted to in public.GREED & fear remains hopeful that a deal will be struck but that will require the Donald to part company with the agenda of the national security hawks. China will certainly be happy to commit to buy more American goods. GREED & fear also continues to believe that China will be willing to make concessions in the area of intellectual property.There is a need for Trump to take a profit on his nearly two-year long “beating up on China” trade. For if he holds on to the position for too long the profit risks turning into a loss. By this GREED & fear means that the imposition of the higher tariffs as threatened would not only be very negative for stock markets but would also be damaging to the American as well as Chinese economies.Investors should give the benefit of the doubt to markets remaining benign through to the end of this year with Asia leading the rally. But the risk is that the national security hawks seizethe agenda in the negotiations with China and, as a result of their more aggressive stance, the talks break down.
