Sit Tight…Trump tariff shockwaves incoming soon

Trump will invoke insurrection act this weekend. I predict the army will see mutiny - Whites Vs others
 
I salute Trump for all the courage he has to make this global reset.

After WW2, US became the consumer of exports from all over the world and USD because the de-facto currency.

But after 80 years US is now heavily indebted and needs to go to rehab to wean itself off cheap imports (esp from China).

Trump is the chosen one to do this reset. That's why he survived assassinations'. He is the divine one.
But the way he do it can have profound consequences eg pushing EU and China together?

Reason manufacturing is shun in US is because of low profit and high risk. You make more investing in nyse or Nasdaq or crypto.
If US were to shut those three all. That money will soon be invested in all kinds of manufacturing.
 
The world was just coming out of covid supply chain disruption and now Trump just created another mayhem. Any supply chain going to the US or meant for the US will be disrupted. These goods will be stuck in ports or warehouses. Until they can find a solution.
Litigation against US gomen is a definite.
 
Recently u Huat big time.
Few weeks ago u bought apple laptop and now buying phone
I haven't bought anything. Apple Macbook Air is on my wishlist, though.

Scoot and FWD insurers are the 2 companies that have been earning my money consistently throughout the year.
 
Whatever, most important is still this...

Singapore’s Long Debt Gets Boost From Steepest Curve Since 2022​

Takeaways NEW​

The steepest yield curve on Singapore’s bonds in about three years is signaling the time may be propitious for investors to buy long-dated debt at an auction this month.

A flight to safety following gyrations in US Treasuries in response to Donald Trump’s damaging tariffs, and a sharper decline in shorter debt relative to longer maturities will likely burnish the appeal of the local-currency bonds.

The yield premium investors get for holding Singapore’s 30-year securities over its five-year debt is near the highest since March 2022.

CHINA’S state-owned AVIC Trust is seeking assistance from two of its peers after delaying payments on some of its investment products, a sign of worsening problems in the country’s US$3.7 trillion trust industry.

The closely held trust company said in a statement late on Friday (Apr 18) that it has entered into a service agreement with CCB Trust and SDIC Taikang Trust. The two state-owned financial institutions will handle AVIC Trust’s daily operations and management, and its outstanding claims and debts will remain unchanged, it said.
