*>> THE FCKING FCKS* US$ 36 trillion imminent, in a matter of days, with implications for Insta-gold BTC, faster-gold ETH, Gold-gold gold, and poor fellows gold silver. All looking good Team Trum, to re-infrastreucturise, in order to re-industrialise, so as to re-militarise, needs a few items, them be ... - financial capital - human capital - manufacturing capabilities - manufacturing capacities - markets for factories am wondering which one single entity of this planet can help the trump the most? also, the trump wants no war, and might realise that that the most destructive war of this reality that would cost him everything would be a absolutely destined to lose trade war with and against China China China Trump might instead do a Nixon, for he is the only one in the US actually qualified to do such drama Should such be so, super boom protocol in place Let us watch, the deliberate humiliation of Pompeo and Haley might be telling, and Don Jr promise of "no neocon, no war hawk" might be true. Too early to see if trump in fact turns out to be the greatest president of Team USA ever usdebtclock.org

*>> THE FCKING FCKS* good news, that at current cheap price the world might not have enough gold for the entire planet for the mathematically challenged, the number is interesting, that should sino-usa trade go to zero, China GDP drops by hardly anything, say 2% in trade surplus terms, but less sure about USA inflation Given so and such, unclear why everyone fretting over trade war, for trade war, on balance, might well not happen, because mathematically making no sense So, friendly reminder, the gaming is less about how much gold we can manage to buy, and far more to do with how much gold we prepare to sell. The timing is somewhere in between ANYTIME to NEVER Additional note, the folks on your side sure buy a lot of stuff, and at the same time blaming the folks on my side for 'over-capacity' Also, looking at the graph, am noting that the Trump 1.0 started trade war 1.0 in 2018, and since that time, China never looked back because too busy driving forward Recommendation to the Trump, join China. The Chinese built America the first go around. The Chinese can do it again. The result in October was the third widest surplus in history that came just below June’s record. The trade surplus calculated in yuan hit 5.2% of nominal gross domestic product in the first nine months of this year, the highest since 2015 and well above the average level for the last decade. bloomberg.com China Approaches Record $1 Trillion Trade Surplus to World’s Ire Exports to nearly 170 economies top what China buys from them Wider surpluses with US, EU and Asean stir fears of trade war 11 November 2024 at 13:57 GMT+8 The Yangshan Deepwater Port in Shanghai. Photographer: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg China’s trade surplus is on track to hit a fresh record this year, increasingly leaving it on a collision course with some of the world’s biggest economies by aggravating an imbalance in global commerce that risks provoking President-elect Donald Trump. The difference between Chinese exports and imports is set to reach almost $1 trillion if it continues to widen at the same pace as it has in the year to date, according to Bloomberg calculations. The goods trade surplus soared to $785 billion in the first 10 months, according to data released last week, the highest on record for that period and an increase of almost 16% from 2023. “With Chinese export prices still falling, export volume growth was enormous,” Brad Setser, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said on X. “The overall story is of an economy that is again growing off exports.” China has been relying more on exports to compensate for the weakness of domestic demand that Beijing has only recently tried to redress by injecting stimulus into the economy. The increasingly lopsided picture has generated pushback from a growing number of countries, and the new Trump administration is likely to impose tariffs that would reduce the flow of exports to the US. Countries from South America to Europe have already raised tariff barriers against Chinese goods such as steel and electric vehicles. Foreign companies are also pulling money from China, with foreign direct investment liabilities dropping in the first nine months of the year, according to data released on Friday. Should the decline continue for the rest of the year, it would be the first annual net outflow in FDI since at least 1990, when comparable data begins. China's (customs) trade surplus is pushing back up toward $1 trillion -- it is well over $900b, a rising again in dollar terms. 1/ pic.twitter.com/E3ysXFnQXd — Brad Setser (@Brad_Setser) November 7, 2024 The response from Beijing so far has been to promise more support for companies, with the state council announcing Friday it would lift financial support to industries to promote stable foreign trade growth, foster economic development, and stabilize employment. Chinese companies have been ramping up their export performance over the past few years. By contrast, the slowing economy, increasing electrification and rising replacement of foreign manufactured goods with domestic alternatives are suppressing demand for imports. The result in October was the third widest surplus in history that came just below June’s record. The trade surplus calculated in yuan hit 5.2% of nominal gross domestic product in the first nine months of this year, the highest since 2015 and well above the average level for the last decade. The surplus with the US rose 4.4% so far this year from the same period last year. It increased 9.6% with the European Union and jumped almost 36% with the 10 south-east Asian nations in Asean, the latest data shows. Imbalances are also growing with many other nations. China now exports more goods to almost 170 countries and economies than it buys from them, the most since 2021. A currency war may be brewing as well. India’s central bank has said it’s ready to let the rupee weaken if China lets the yuan drop to counter US tariffs. A falling yuan would make Chinese exports cheaper and could further widen the surplus with India, which hit $85 billion so far this year, 3% higher than in 2023 and more than double the level five years ago.
