Stock markets are falling like crazy because of rising treasury yield.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.my/2017/12/the-us-risk-free-rate-is-stagnant-for.html

https://sg-stock.blogspot.my/2017/10/us-treasury-yields-had-been-rising-for.html

If you guys had read our previous postings, you would have expected this huge stock market fall as the US 10-year bond yield was almost approaching 3%.

We've stated that the stock market would react negatively when the US 10-year bond yield was approaching 3%.

We've also stated that the US interest rate would continue to rise and investors were in denial previously.

Bitcoin falls to $6000 now.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-drops-more-14-below-185000041.html

We've been warning that Bitcoin has not reached bottom yet in our previous posting.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.my/2018/02/bitcoin-dropped-below-8000-but-bottom.html

Many investors are suffering huge losses in Bitcoin and are likely to get out of the crypto market now because they've come to realize that Bitcoin is nothing valuable.

China credit rating firm, Dagong, is right about USA afterall.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/treasury-may-borrow-nearly-1t-070500158.html

The USA has to issue almost USD$1T of bonds to finance its spending in 2018 and Trump's tax policies will add USD$2T of debt.

It will be a matter of time that people will lose their confidence in USA repayment ability.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/01/there-are-valid-points-in-dagong-credit.html

China is going all out to eradicate crypto trading!

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/china-looks-stamp-cryptocurrency-trading-091930615.html

Bitcoin will continue to fall further!

The USA is adamant to destroy Venezuela.

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2018-02-05/china-rebuffs-us-criticism-of-relations-with-oil-rich-venezuela

China has to defend Venezuela to protect its own investments and also for the humanitarian reason.

The people are already suffering greatly from the hyperinflation in the country.

Tension is rising at China-India border again.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-42834609

https://in.news.yahoo.com/keep-building-infrastructure-doklam-india-not-china-084204623.html

It is without any doubt that Doklam is China's territory but India and the western media want to portray otherwise.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/doklam-has-always-been-under-chinas-jurisdiction-minister/articleshow/59742071.cms

Both sides are building up military powers near the borders and there is a high probability that skirmishes will happen again in the future especially when Indian drones like to intrude upon China's airspace.

Trade war has started between China & USA.

https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-china-us-sorghum/china-launches-dumping-probe-into-u-s-sorghum-imports-amid-rising-trade-tension-idUSKBN1FO06C

China has retaliated by imposing a dumping probe into the importation of Sorghum from the USA.

This is a brilliant move by the Chinese as farmers are Trump's supporters. When Trump's supporters get hit badly, Trump's support will wilt.

Philippines wants to displace Singapore in ASEAN.

http://globalnation.inquirer.net/163587/duterte-china-sea-pirates-terrorism-southeast-asia-combat-security-defense

The Philippines is getting ambitious about gaining more political influences in ASEAN and is not contented with just being an ASEAN facilitator.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/11/china-has-replaced-singapore-with.html

The Philippines is trying to enlist China to help secure the marine security in ASEAN and may grant a military base to China to fulfill this agenda. This is akin to Singapore granting the USA a military naval base in Singapore.

The Philippines is getting proactive in pushing its agenda to increase its importance and influences in ASEAN by collaborating with China. It knows that by leveraging on China's support and backing, its economic and political prowess will improve by leaps and bounds in ASEAN. The Philippines economy is growing at more than twice of Singapore's in recent times and it wants to displace Singapore to become an important ASEAN member.

http://business.inquirer.net/243868/breaking-business-world-bank-asean-economy-fastest-growth-2018-global-economic-prospects-gdp

Singapore government doesn't know how to increase economic growth in other ways except to boost the population.

http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/big-read-foreigner-issue-are-we-ready-rethink

Higher spatial population distribution will lead to an increase in social tension but social tension is difficult to measure. Therefore, we can only monitor the symptoms of social tension from the mildest to the most severe civil disorders to detect the ever-rising social tension. Look like our government has not learnt from the past lessons and our sociologists are not being cognizant of our society.

Singapore increased its population the most in the last decade and our society encountered all forms of social tension within the last decade. The following civil disorders from the mildest to the most severe are: Vitriol, Conflict, Protest, Strike & Riot.

Let's look at the 5 civil disorders which happened before in SG:

Civil disorder 2014
Vitriol - Anton Casey
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/anton-casey-loses-job-friends

Civil disorder 2015
Conflict – Jason Blair Unger
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/cyclist-mischief-charge

Civil disorder 2014
Protest – Anti-Philippines protest
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-protest-against-filipinos-rekindles-anti-foreign-anger-175914561.html

Civil disorder 2012
Strike – SMRT Chinese bus drivers
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/-over-100-chinese-bus-drivers-in-s-pore-go-on-strike-105924025.html

Civil disorder 2013
Riot – Little India’s riot
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/little-india-riot-one-year-later-the-night-that-changed-singapore

From the aforementioned examples, we could see that SG encountered all the civil disorders (mildest to the most severe) in a short span of time from 2012 to 2015 because of the ever-increasing population which led to higher spatial distribution. History will repeat itself when we don't take history seriously and I can't find SG encountering all the civil disorders in other decades when there is no sudden influx of foreigners.

You cannot use credit cards to buy bitcoin soon.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-02/bofa-to-decline-all-cryptocurrency-transactions-on-credit-cards

Another setback for bitcoin! Credit cards cannot be used to buy bitcoins soon!

Genting casino business will be greatly affected by Hainan casino.

https://www.reuters.com/article/china-hainan-gambling/china-considering-allowing-gambling-in-hainan-bloomberg-idUSL4N1PS3ER

The Chinese don't need to travel far to gamble anymore when the Hainan casino is opened. The Chinese make up a large portion of gamblers in Asia and their travel preferences will affect any casino's business.

However, if the China government restricts local citizens from gambling in their own country, then Genting business won't be affected much. Let's see how this will pan out.

Bitcoin dropped below 8000 but the bottom was still not in sight yet.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/no-letup-for-bitcoin-as-cryptocurrency-drops-further-below-9000-2018-02-02?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

We've warned previously that bitcoin prices have not reached bottom yet.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/01/cryptocurrencies-have-crashed-but-have.html

Many investors are starting to face up to the reality that bitcoin is a big scam now. Recent investors have lost a lot of money in bitcoin and will start to lose confidence in bitcoin if the prices do not recover in the next few months. However, the upcoming G20 summit will put crypto regulations on the agenda and this will depress bitcoin prices further.

The huge fall in the stock market on Friday (yesterday) also put pressure on bitcoin investors because bitcoin market cannot get new buyers or investors.

Baltic dry index - 1095

Today, Friday, February 02 2018, the Baltic Dry Index decreased by 19 points, reaching 1095 points.

Baltic Dry Index is compiled by the London-based Baltic Exchange and covers prices for transported cargo such as coal, grain and iron ore. The index is based on a daily survey of agents all over the world. Baltic Dry hit a temporary peak on May 20, 2008, when the index hit 11,793. The lowest level ever reached was on Wednesday the 10th of February 2016, when the index dropped to 290 points.

US rig count - 946

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. fell by one this week to 946.

That exceeds the 729 rigs that were active this time a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported Friday that 765 rigs drilled for oil this week and 181 for gas.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Colorado increased by two and North Dakotaand Ohio each gained one.

Wyoming lost three rigs and Louisiana and Texas each decreased by one.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404.

Genetic testing must NEVER be allowed for insurer!

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/brunch/the-future-of-insurance?xtor=EREC-16-1%5BBT_Newsletter_1%5D-%5B20180203%5D-%5BThe+future+of+insurance%5D&xts=538380

We must never allow genetic testing for the insurer because the basis for the insurance business should be based on chance rather than selection between good genes and bad genes.

Let me put forth a simple analogy. An accident happens by chance but bad genes with health problems happen with certainty. We must not let genetic testing become a standard practice in the insurance industry because people with bad genes will be penalized and this practice will only improve the profitability of the insurance companies. In the future, all insurance payouts will only be for accident-related incidents because of selections based on genetic testing.

It seems that SGX is kicked out of the Aramco IPO race.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/in-aramco-ipo--china-talks-crucial-for-choice-of-listing-venue--sources-9917622

Saudi didn't talk to Singapore at all except China, Japan & SK.

We stated previously that SGX won't stand a chance. However, the CEO was being too unrealistic and optimistic about his goal and he showed his naivety in his analysis.

When a CEO doesn't understand the capital market, SGX will deteriorate under his helm.

USA aegis missile defence system failed to intercept an incoming hostile missile.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/missile-test-fail-u-unable-091712478.html

The effectiveness of the USA missile defence system is overstated by the USA. The latest test showed that the Aegis defence system failed to intercept a simple incoming missile. If the missile carries multiple warheads, the Aegis cannot protect the country at all.

Another merchant has dumped bitcoin payment system.

Stripe will end bitcoin payment system after Steam.

We've stated on numerous occasions that bitcoin is impractical to be used for transactions.

When people don't use bitcoin but only speculate in bitcoin, there is no real value in bitcoin.

Taiwanese ex-judge was caught selling coal for North Korea!

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2018/01/31/2003686741

After a Taiwanese businessman was caught selling oil to North Korea in international water, another Taiwanese ex-judge was caught selling coal for North Korea to Vietnam.

We know now that Vietnam has been buying North Korea's coal for a long time. How will the USA deal with Taiwan & Vietnam?

Let's see.
