https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cryptocurrencies-apos-ponzi-schemes-apos-000400404.html

Mathematicians, Economists, Central bank, World bank, etc have been saying bitcoin is a bit scam but the millennials still invest in bitcoin.

When the bitcoin implodes, the millennials cannot blame somebody except themselves for investing in crypto.

USA aegis system failed but China mid-course anti-missile test was successful.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/02/usa-aegis-missile-defence-system-failed.html

Mid-course interception is difficult because the incoming missile has not re-entered the atmosphere from outer space yet.

Congrats to China for the successful test!

US rig count - 975

HOUSTON (AP) - The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 29 this week to 975.

That exceeds the 741 rigs that were active this time a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported Friday that 791 rigs drilled for oil this week and 184 for gas.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas increased by 14 rigs, North Dakota and Wyoming each gained four, Louisiana and New Mexico each increased by three and Kansas and Oklahoma each gained one.

Colorado decreased by one.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, Ohio, 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.

The USA has abandoned the Syrian Kurds.

We've stated before that the USA would betray the Syrian Kurds.  The Syrian Kurds will perish if they still continue to harbour any false hope.

Syrian Kurds, please wake up and face the reality.  The USA will only think of its own political interest and will betray the Syrian Kurds anytime.

Here we go again! The USA government has to shut down again.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/happens-u-government-shutdown-054756485--business.html

When a government has no money to pay its government employees, do you still think the USA can repay its national debt of more than USD$20T?

New crypto will cannibalize old crypto.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-cash-leads-crypto-gainers-192707030.html

Bitcoin cash is cannibalizing bitcoin now.

We stated this before based on common economic principle.

Stock markets are falling like crazy because of rising treasury yield - Part 2

Dow Jones fell more than 1,000 points again for the 2nd time within 4 days. It fell more than 1,000 points after 10-year bond yield first reached 2.84% on 2 Feb.  10-year bond yield is at 2.85% now and the Dow Jones falls more than 1,000 points again.

High bond yields are detrimental to the stock markets but will cause USD to appreciate as the risk-free rate affects other interest rates.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/02/stock-markets-are-falling-like-crazy.html

USD has been appreciating because of higher bond yields which will cause other interest rates to increase.

The USA had increased its national debt by about USD$10T in the past decade (2008) and higher interest rates would increase its interest repayment burden.  This is the primary reason for the stock market fall.  The stock market will see more volatilities from now because FED has to increase interest rates gradually.

Midas assets are frozen in China.

https://www.theedgesingapore.com/midas-ceo-says-shares-and-money-china-subsidiaries-and-associates-frozen-courts?utm_source=Singapore+Market+Report&utm_campaign=4cce0ed852-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_46b7beec93-4cce0ed852-90900869

Things are not looking good for Midas as its assets are frozen in China.

Midas is definitely not innocent and this is something that investors have to bear for investing in mid-size China firms.  Many China listed companies got into troubles already insofar.

Something happened to CNY today!

Look at the long green bar which is circled in red.  Downward trajectory means CNY appreciation and upward trajectory means CNY depreciation.

The long green bar appears because China revives QDLP outbound investment scheme.  This QDLP scheme means foreign fund managers can raise money from China and invest overseas and there'll be an outflow of CNY.  Thus, CNY depreciates today due to an impending increase in CNY supply in the international market.
