India pays a high price to get cozy with the USA.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-plans-end-indias-preferential-trade-treatment-000258315--finance.html

This is not the first time that the USA backstabbed India and it won't be the last.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/03/india-has-to-pay-much-higher-price-to.html

Let's see how much the India will tolerate before it realizes the USA is a non-trustworthy partner.

China ups its ante against Canada.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/china-blocks-canola-shipments-canadas-richardson-customs-document-071841479--finance.html

Let's get the record straight in the first place.

Huawei Cfo was arrested in Canada during transit to Mexico.  She was accused of infringing USA's sanction against Iran via banking fraud.  However, the USA sanction is not a UN sanction.

First of all, if the banking fraud did occur, it happened in HK HSBC bank.  Therefore, Huawei Cfo contravened HK banking rules but not US banking rules.  Furthermore, Huawei Cfo is not an American citizen and does not possess a US green card. Thus, she cannot and shouldn't be subjected to US laws in another country.

Huawei Cfo's arrest is no doubt a political issue and never a legal issue.  The US is just abusing its might against a weaker country.

Therefore, I support China this time!

USA is gearing up for USD depreciation. - Part 2

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-says-strong-dollar-hurting-u-competitiveness-184008692--business.html

Trump has stated publicly that he wants USD to depreciate.

We had already anticipated this USD depreciation in our previous post below.  We've nailed it!

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/02/usa-is-gearing-up-for-usd-depreciation.html

CNY vs HKD has an anomaly today.

HKD vs CNY

CNY vs HKD

The charts above show some anomaly which denotes an intervention in the FX market for HKD/CNY.  Maybe the China Central Bank is trying to remove the arbitrage opportunity by manipulating the currency.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/hong-kong-dollar-has-been-depreciating.html

Hong Kong Dollar has been depreciating! Why?

The HKD is depreciating and is approaching the limit of HKD$7.85 (intervention level).  This is stressing the HKMA to up its interest rates to stabilize the HKD and prevent capital outflow.

The one-month Hibor-Libor spread is widening to 151 basis points and also giving HKMA the stress to up its interest rates because HKD is pegged to USD.  This causes HKD to depreciate unless HKMA ups its interest rates.  However, the dovish FED stance is giving HKMA some breathing space not to hike its interest rates because the HK interest rates will affect the property sector tremendously.

The 1-month HKD Hibor is at 1.33% and the 1-month CNY Hibor is at 2.72% (see chart below).  This creates a huge arbitrage opportunity for investors to sell HKD for CNY to net a risk-free return of 1.39%.  How cool is that?  This is the primary reason for HKD depreciation.

What is the main determinant cause of Singapore success? Water?

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/mahathir-believes-singapore-rapidly-developed-030901104.html

Mahathir believes that the main determinant cause of Singapore success is water.

However, Malaysia has more water than Singapore.  How come Malaysia is not as successful as Singapore when it has more water resources?  The exchange rate for MY:SG should be 1:3, not 3:1 if Mahathir is right about SG's success.

Mahathir is bashing Singapore again!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/speak-against-singapore-water-agreement-102137041.html

How many times must we say this?

The water agreement is not a simple commercial agreement.  It was part of the separation agreement for MY-SG and was lodged with the UN.  Therefore, nobody can just change the water pact.

Under the water pact, Johor (JB) doesn't need to buy back the processed water but it is buying the full maximum quantity allowed by the water pact? Why? Why? Why?

This is because JB knows that SG is selling the processed water at a huge loss to JB.

Hot news! NTUC, Sheng Siong and Prime have signed 3-year contracts with Kaohsiung Mayor.

Kaohsiung mayor Han has just visited Singapore to promote Kaohsiung farm and fishery products.

He has just signed a 3-year contract with 3 supermarkets such as NTUC, Sheng Siong and Prime.  This guy is a potential Taiwan presidential candidate in 2020.  If he becomes the Taiwan president in 2020, Taiwan and Singapore relationship will get much closer.
