Moscow and Beijing have cut their holdings in US Treasury securities. Russia sold $5.3 billion in January and has sunk to 16th place of the largest holders of American debt.
It is the lowest level for the country since February last year.

“We absolutely do not hold American securities exclusively. The main thing is that these securities should be liquid. So should be the state that issued them,” said Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov in an interview with NTV this week.

Russia also invests in the securities of European countries.

“We are ready to invest in the securities issued by other sovereign states, the main thing is that they should be low-risk and accordingly bring income,” Siluanov said.

China also got rid of American debt by selling nearly $17 billion in January. Although China is still the largest holder of US Treasuries, the total amount of Treasuries in its reserves has dropped to a minimum since July last year.

One of the largest investors in US government bonds remains the Cayman Islands. The small tax-friendly country has invested almost $242 billion in the American debt, on par with a holder as large as the United Kingdom.

The third-largest buyer of American debt is Ireland, investing $327.5 billion in US debt securities. Ireland is also considered a tax haven for American companies, and was involved in the Apple Inc. tax scandal.

Actually I think the most effective and direct attack is on USD currency which is USA weakest and most vulnerable and most deadly weakness. It can not withstand attack at all, and after it collapsed USA is without any currency, and can no longer play any trade war for good.

Make USD currency the same value as Vietnam Dong. USA will die more ugly death than Venezuela it will have hyper-hyper-infation their civil servants won't want salary in dollars, want foreign currencies like Canadian or Mexican or EURO.

Dotard and tax ANY TARIFF AMOUNT on anything, his people can afford to buy NOTHING! No seller want to ship them anything unless paid in advanced in Ren Min Bi or something else.

They are going to die in deprivation!


Especially there is already no US Dollar currency now except for tons of WORTHLESS COUNTERFEIT called OBAMA DOLLAR printed indiscriminately by that Nigger. He alone printed more notes than all the US presidents in history had printed in grand sum.

川普宣布加重力道的保護主義措施讓投資人擔心未來全球將掀起貿易戰，而根據美銀美林報告指出，新興市場中因全球供應鏈間接受創最重的是台灣。

金融時報報導，美銀分析師以與中國貿易的關係密切為由，點名台灣、南韓和馬來西亞將是最容易因全球供應鏈間接影響而受創的國家。波蘭和墨西哥也預料會容易受到波及。

在產業方面，如果貿易夥伴（尤其是中國）面臨美國保護主義的影響，台灣和菲律賓的電子業可能受創。

美銀分析師特別關注新興市場，報告中認為，雖然目前美國關稅對新興市場的衝擊有限，但透過全球價值鏈引發的骨牌效應將是風險。

美銀表示：「就初步印象來看，美國的保護主義可能會在新興市場中先對準中國和墨西哥，因為這兩國占美國貿易逆差比重最大。」

以下是美銀依全球價值鏈（GVC）參與率的排名：

1. 台灣（近70%）

2. 南韓

3. 新加坡

4. 馬來西亞

5. 波蘭

Trump’s trade war is not the only one that has been hit hardest by the supply chain.

Trump announced that protectionist measures with gravity roads have caused investors to fear that the world will set off a trade war. According to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch report, it is Taiwan in the emerging markets that receives the heaviest interest among global supply chains.

The Financial Times reported that the Bank of America analysts are citing their close relationship with China’s trade. The names of Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia will be the countries most vulnerable to the indirect effects of global supply chains. Poland and Mexico are also expected to be vulnerable.

In the industry, if the trading partners (especially China) face the influence of American protectionism, the electronics industry in Taiwan and the Philippines may suffer.

Bank of America analysts are particularly concerned about emerging markets. The report believes that although the impact of U.S. tariffs on emerging markets is limited, the domino effect triggered by global value chains will be a risk.

Bank of America said: "From the initial impression, the protectionism in the United States may first target China and Mexico in the emerging markets, because the two countries account for the largest share of the U.S. trade deficit."

The following is a ranking of the participation rate of the Bank of America in the Global Value Chain (GVC):

1. Taiwan (nearly 70%)

2. South Korea

3. Singapore

4. Malaysia

5. Poland

美國若掀貿易戰 中共黨媒：中國勢必報復

（中央社記者陳家倫上海16日電）美國政府正施壓中國將美中貿易逆差減少1000億美元。中共宣傳機器、立場鷹派的環球時報社評對此表示，若美國採取對中國產品大規模加徵關稅的「粗暴行動」，那麼中國勢必報復。

美國白宮發言人14日澄清說，美國總統川普日前在推特（Twitter）上要求中國減少10億美元貿易逆差是口誤，美國實際要求的是中國將兩國貿易失衡減少1000億美元。

此外，新任白宮國家經濟會議主席柯德洛（Larry Kudlow）14日也表示，美國應領導一個大型的貿易夥伴同盟對抗中國，讓中國知道是他們破壞規則，正是中國的自身作為，才招致美國的強勢回應。

針對上述說法，環球時報今天刊發題為「中國豈是美國用來擦髒桌子的抹布」的社評指出，美國把經濟「不達標」的原因都歸咎於中美貿易失衡，指責中國偷走美國人的工作，「是要把中國當成抹布，擦美國亂七八糟的桌子。」

文章並以強烈字眼回擊，如果美國拿不出可行的促進貿易平衡方案，採取對中國產品大規模加徵關稅的粗暴行動，那麼中國勢必報復，「一旦美方試圖從中國割一塊肉走，它就必須被打掉一排門牙。」

文章提及中國報復的方法包括，把火力對準支持川普及其所屬黨派的農業州等。此外，中國媒體可以加大對美國農產品安全疑慮的報導，美國大豆、玉米、牛肉都將面臨對中國出口的困難。

針對中美貿易戰議題，瑞銀財富管理亞太區投資總監及首席中國經濟學家胡一帆日前曾表示，中國還是希望協商解決，但如果美國繼續推動，中國也會迎戰，「要迎戰就要贏，只有贏了，才可以讓美方重新坐回貿易桌。」（編輯：周慧盈）1070316

If the United States lifts the trade war, the Communist Party media: China is bound to retaliate

(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jialun, Shanghai, January 16) The U.S. government is pressing China to reduce its US-China trade deficit by 100 billion U.S. dollars. The Global Times reporter from the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda machine and position expressed that if the United States adopts a "rough action" to impose tariffs on Chinese products on a large scale, China will retaliate.

A White House spokesperson clarified on the 14th that US President Trump Trump’s Twitter request for China to reduce the US$1 billion trade deficit was a mistake. The United States actually requested that China reduce its trade imbalance by 100 billion U.S. dollars.

In addition, the new chairman of the National Economic Council of the White House, Larry Kudlow, also stated on the 14th that the United States should lead a large trading partner league against China and let China know that they have violated the rules. It is China’s own actions that have incurred the United States’ cause. The strong response.

In response to this statement, the Global Times published today an editorial entitled “China is the wipe used by the United States to clean dirty desks.” The United States pointed out that the United States blamed the economic “non-compliance” on the imbalance between China and the United States and accused China of stealing the United States. The person's job "is to use China as a rag and wipe the mess on the table in the United States."

The article responded with strong words. If the United States does not come up with a feasible plan to promote trade balance and adopts crude actions to impose large-scale tariffs on Chinese products, then China is bound to retaliate. "Once the United States tries to cut a piece of meat from China, it will Must be knocked out a row of front teeth."

The article mentions that China’s methods of revenge include directing its firepower to agricultural states that support Trump and its affiliated parties. In addition, the Chinese media can increase the coverage of doubts about the safety of agricultural products in the United States. The US soybeans, corn, and beef will all face difficulties in exporting to China.

In response to the topic of China-US trade warfare, UBS Wealth Management Asia Pacific investment director and chief China economist Hu Yifan had said that China still hopes to negotiate a settlement, but if the United States continues to push forward, China will also face up to the war. Only by winning will the US be able to return to the trade table.” (Editor: Zhou Huiying) 1070316

Inflation in Russia lower than America's for first time in history

Low inflation is not always good for the economy. However, for Russia, whose economy has been dominated by skyrocketing inflation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it's a good sign.
Inflation in Russia now stands at 2.18 percent, and for the first time ever it is lower than US inflation, which is currently 2.2 percent. This is another record low for Russia. In 2017, consumer prices rose by only 2.5 percent. In 2016, there was 5.4 percent growth. Thus, inflation has more than halved in a matter of a couple of years.

Such low inflation is unprecedented for Russia. For almost a quarter of a century the economy has lived through much higher rates of consumer prices growth. In the 1990s there was hyperinflation typical for the poorest countries: 2,509 percent in 1992, 840 percent in 1993, and 215 percent in 1994.

The situation improved only in 2000, when prices rose by 20 percent. The last time inflation in Russia was double-digit was in 2015 – 12.91 percent. And this year, inflation is approaching just 2 percent, half of the Central Bank of Russia’s target of 4 percent per annum.

Analysts say this is good for the real economy and consumers.

“Low inflation benefits producers: at stable prices, they do not have to reconsider costs, and the cost of production does not change,” said Anna Kokoreva, deputy director of the analytical department of Alpari, as quoted by RIA Novosti.

Low inflation also leads to the cut of the key rate by the central bank, which leads to cheaper mortgage and loans both for business and consumers. Mortgages have been stagnant in Russia because of the economic crisis, but better offers from banks are gradually reviving the ailing sector.

Retail has also won from low inflation. In 2017, it grew 1.2 percent after drops of 5 and 10 percent in the previous two years respectively.

However, when inflation is low, the economy also faces the risk of deflation. Deflation is when the purchasing power of money is growing, and the prices of goods and services are gradually declining. The key risk of deflation is a slowdown in economic growth with subsequent stagnation.

“It's extremely difficult to get out of the trap. Japan has not been able to overcome deflation, which has significantly impeded its economy for a quarter of a century. Europe is facing the same problem,” Finam analyst Aleksey Korenev told RIA Novosti.

US is already bankrupted. Long ago.

Print money can not save themselves.

USA's last bit of struggling strength can be easily finished off. That essentially is a process of getting rid of it'f followers false hopes, and it's final bit of strength to stir the world.

US currency is fake money and MOST OF IT ARE NOT WITHIN IT's OWN HANDS, not up to their control to buy / sell. US also not in control of major bulk of other world currencies. All Trump can play with is the DECREASING / DECAYING US IMPORTS. And it's exports are quite Insignificant in the world. China are big both in import and export, and it's export is of world importance much more than of USA.

There is not very much US can do with it's imports to fight others, China can prove that for once and for all with a price. In this process China need to prove to the whole world that USA is the global culprit and all must take position to isolate and punish USA together, blocking USA's influence. Reject doing business with them is enough. Best reason is too obvious, they owe the world's highest debt.

World can function and move forward after cutting off USA's imports. There is not much they can do except of war.

Most of US$ currencies are in hands of Arabs & Chinese & Japs, not Americans. Don't get the wrong idea that America own all of their currencies - they already spent them to import products and sellers got their (fake) money. Even funds in banks inside USA, a huge bulk are own by foreigners or foreign government.

China is top important trade partner for most countries, not USA, by values and variety of trades both. Guess who has more influence to play?

In terms of war, a sharply decreased number of countries still dream in American protection. And all can see the largely decayed American military strength, especially after 911 and these wars. USA is too broke to go into wars. Everyone can see this. China is their biggest money lender. If China switched off their supplies and funds, America can not even live daily lives not to talk about wars.

Who is the real boss then?

 

[whoami]

Yes, only war....and we know whos the ultimate winner between US vs China or Russia.

So whos the real boss?

 

[taksinloong]

Yes, only war....and we know whos the ultimate winner between US vs China or Russia.

So whos the real boss?

USA showed Whole World how WEAK AND USELESS it is when hit by 911.

Just a simply NK Hwasong-15 single nuke is 1000X stronger than 911.

No any other count is weaker / more Vulnerable / Softer than USA.

最新消息：美国国债史上首次超越21万亿！特朗普或走向极端

FX168财经

FX168财经报社(香港)讯北京时间3月17日，美国政府称，国债首次超过21万亿美元。

9月份美国债务已达到了20万亿美元。美国总统特朗普上个月签署了债务限制暂停政策，允许无限次借款，直到2019年3月1日。

由于特朗普一手推动了税改和支出计划，经济学家预计美国会出现更大的预算赤字。


特朗普的贸易保护主义从很大程度上来说和美国不断攀升的赤字有关，目的是希望减少贸易逆差。

上周白宫首席经济顾问科恩由于不同意对钢材和铝材征税而请辞，特朗普正在白宫重要职位安插越来越多的鹰派人士。

如果美国负债和赤字的情况没有任何改善，特朗普或许会寄出更激进的做法。

(2017年美国贸易赤字来源 来源彭博)

赤字逼迫美国财务部加大发行债务力度，给美债收益率造成上行压力，也让美元在央行加息三次被消化的情况下仍然反弹无力。

货币紧缩会让政府偿债成本增加，因此这也意味着美联储(FED)在政策正常化的途中会有所顾虑。

由于收入下降和支出增加，政府2月赤字为2150亿美元，比去年同月上涨12%。

高盛(Goldman Sachs)警告，如果纵容美国负债持续攀升，最终将危及金融稳定。
