Wow! UN is so good at investigating chemical weapons and ballistic missiles now.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/un-experts-north-korea-sent-banned-chemical-items-020946519.html

UN is accusing North Korea of exporting chemical weapons to Syria and ballistic missiles to Myanmar.

If UN was so good at investigation, then it should know about Iraq's non-existent of WMDs.  Why did UN allow US's unilateral invasion of Iraq then?

US proposes anti-dumping on China aluminium foil.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-rules-chinese-firms-sold-000054062.html

Raw materials from paper, chemical, metal and so forth are going to increase tremendously in prices because of trade wars and supply problems.

Global inflation will become a real threat in 2018.

China has created the world's first 5G mobile chip.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2018-02/27/content_35745699.htm

China is at the forefront of mobile technology now with the world's first 5G mobile chip.  Huawei has the most advanced and fastest mobile phone now with this chip whilst the USA is still trying to develop its 5G network.

China imposes an anti-dumping measure on Singapore.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201802/27/WS5a94f7dfa3106e7dcc13e5ee.html

I hope that there won't be more anti-dumping measures imposed on Singapore or else SG's economy will be greatly affected as SG will become less competitive.

Inflation will come fast and furious with so many anti-dumping measures.  Simultaneously, interest rates will also increase a few times this year as indicated by Jerome Powell's speech yesterday.

Goldilocks is accusing Noble Group of inflating its derivative contracts.

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/goldilocks-calls-nobles-profit-warning-figures-extremely-shocking

Goldilocks is regretting its Noble Group investment now because it is accusing Noble Group of inflating the derivatives contracts and forcing the existing shareholders to accept the debt restructuring plan.

Whatever it is, Noble Group is heading towards bankruptcy without any debt restructuring.

Do you support a rules-based system in the world?

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/china-demands-u-stops-unilateral-sanctions-over-north-150441118--sector.html

Many countries which support rules-based order or system in this world are keeping quiet when a big and mighty country like the USA is not following the rules-based order.

We must stop any country from imposing unilateral sanctions against another country without UN mandate.  What's the purpose of having an international entity like UN when a big and mighty country can just flout the international rules?

UN didn't stop the USA from invading Iraq with fabricated intelligence in the past.

UN is not stopping the USA from imposing excessive and illegal sanctions against NK now.

China is right to protest against the US for the unilateral sanctions.  We need to support a rules-based system and protest against any unilateral and illegal sanctions too.

Kota Baru snatch theft in Malaysia.

Poor elderly woman! Nobody is there to help her because of huge public distrust.

When there is a huge public distrust, a person will always second-guess another person's kind gesture.  This results in public apathy and people are unwilling to step forward to help.

An excellent example to depict the public distrust would be the Singapore driver's kind gesture.

2 kind drivers offered to a drive to students during raining days but police were called in to investigate the incidents.  Who would want to do good deed or offer kind gesture when the police will come knocking at the door?

US bond yields will continue to rise in 2018. Why? - Part 2

http://wallstreetexaminer.com/2018/02/treasury-seven-year-sale-caps-258-billion-week-higher-yields-git-r-done/

https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-bonds/treasuries-prices-pare-gains-after-soft-seven-year-auction-idUSL2N1QC1QF

USD 7-year treasury demand was weaker than expected and resulted in a soft sale.  With QE taperings in Europe & USA, there are lesser cheap monies in the world to be used or bond purchases.  Thus, it is not surprising for the US bonds to have weak sales.

Conversely, the central bankers from China, Japan and Saudi seemed to have lost faith in the USA long-term economic growth due to the increasing investment risks as Trump's policies focused on cutting taxes, militarization and infrastructure spending which didn't groove with economic sense.  In a nutshell, the USA is cutting tax revenues but increasing expenditures with no money in the coffer.  Therefore, the USA has to raise about USD$1T annually from 2018 to 2028 by issuing a lot of bonds to meet the fiscal deficits.

India has to pay a high price to be an USA ally to contain China.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-u-tells-india-cut-tariffs-trade-friction-061636397--finance.html

India has to pay a high price to be part of the USA allies to contain China.

Is the Indian economy strong enough to withstand the tariff cuts?  Obviously not!  India is in need of money to develop its economy and is in a serious fiscal deficit.
