Omg! China has displaced Hong Kong with ShenZhen in the greater bay development.
https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/technology/china-to-boost-shenzhen%E2%80%99s-role-in-greater-bay-area-innovation
The HK protestors have just killed their own future and they must be celebrating their "success" now.
China has decided to displace HK with Shenzhen in the greater bay developments with many favourable economic and preferential policies. HK will lose its importance over time and its economic developments will slow down over time too.
These Hongkongers will need to travel to Shenzhen to find work in the future because HK cannot generate enough job opportunities for these 1.7m protestors in the future with weak economic growth. HK has fallen from its financial hub pedestal and will never rise back to its glorious heyday again.
RIP, HK!
Is HSBC on China's unreliable entity list?
https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/banking-finance/hsbc-gets-the-cold-shoulder-in-china
It looks like HSBC is veering towards China's unreliable entity list because it has been excluded from the new loan participation.
HSBC has to do a lot of crisis management and damage control now because China is its major market. By setting up Huawei and letting HSBC account to be used to fund the HK protests, HSBC has proven itself to be anti-China and all these behaviours have to be corrected before China will trust HSBC again.

Trump: No trade deal before HK problems are solved.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/usd-flat-trump-wants-hong-004100531.html
Look like there is no need for the US and China to meet in September anymore. It is impossible to solve the HK problems without China's interventions. The HK chief executive is incapable to solve the HK problems on her own or with her current team.
Look like Trump is compelling Xi to intervene in HK issues or else there won't be any US-China trade deal. Trump doesn't want China to honour the 1 country 2 systems structure but China wants to honour it by remaining on the sideline. Therefore, Xi won't intervene unless there is a violent riot or terrorism action in HK. This is not what Trump wants and Trump won't deal with China as stated.

Is the seawall able to protect Singapore from getting submerged?
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/national-day-rally-2019-100-billion-needed-to-protect-singapore-against-rising-sea-levels
SG is setting aside $100B for some major anti-submersion construction.
Is the seawall capable to protect a region from getting submerged?
Building a seawall is a double-edged sword. If it can prevent the seawater from flowing inland in the worst-case weather scenario (severe storm), it is effective. However, if the seawater cannot block out the seawater in the most severe storm, it will trap the seawater inland and the seawater cannot recede fast.
A seawall is not an unequivocal and panacea solution. We should take a leaf out of Indonesia's book. The Indonesian president has just announced he is shifting the Jakarta Capital to Kalimantan in the future despite having some major anti-submersion construction including the seawall.
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/indonesia-jakarta-flooding-great-sea-wall-11662564
Why is the Jakarta capital moving despite the construction? This shows that the seawall is not really effective as it proclaimed to be because it is a double-edged solution.
Bangkok is also in the same situation as Jakarta and the Thailand government is also planning to move its Bangkok capital to the north in the future.
Why do these capitals have to move at all if the seawall can block the seawater out? The answer is crystal clear.

18 August will be the judgement day for Hong Kong.
The HK protestors will be rallying a mass protest on 18 August (Sunday) with a proclaimed 3-million turnout.
China has warned that if the protest deteriorates into a massive riot, China will intervene by sending its military police and anti-terrorism force into HK. China basic law allows such intervention without HK approval for anti-terrorism action.
Good luck to HK tomorrow!

The Hong Kong protestors tried to create a bank run in HK but it would be a futile attempt.
https://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/3023065/hong-kongs-banks-say-they-have-adequate-cash-meet-demand
These HK protestors should go back to schools and study more about finance. The HKMA has close to US$450b in reserves for any currency and financial war. It is impossible to even ruffle any feather in the banking system at all. Furthermore, HK has China as its backer to weather out any financial crisis.
https://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/key-information/press-releases/2019/20190807-4.shtml
A bank run is impossible to happen but some inconvenience will be caused to the general public because the banks have to refill the ATM notes more frequently. This will only incur the wrath of the general public and the protestors will suffer more backlashes from the public.

Does the US 2-10y inverted yield curve signify a looming recession?
The US 2-10y inverted yield curve is an accurate harbinger of a looming recession but it does not have a 100% probability.
Will the current 2-10y inverted yield curve be different this time?
Do not listen to any analyst's justification that it will be different this time and let the numbers speak for themselves.
I've learnt in life that relying on statistics is more accurate than listening to any analyst because the numbers don't lie but people will since they interpret the numbers differently.
The problem with the US economy is not the inverted yield curve. The fundamental problem that everyone is not observing is that the US debt growth is so much faster than the GDP growth.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-us-treasury-is-about-to-flood-the-market-with-debt-to-fund-a-1-trillion-deficit-heres-why-that-is-a-worry-2019-08-15?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo
The US has a budget shortfall of US$1T for the full year which is about 4.9% of its GDP but the US GDP growth is only at 2.1%. We can see that the US debt growth is more than 2.3x its GDP growth and this is a recipe for a recession.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-us-china-trade-war-impacts-on-both_27.html
Furthermore, the ISM PMI has been falling for 4 consecutive months. This means that the US is still sliding down on the business cycle curve and has not reached its bottom. Therefore, I see no recovery in sight yet. Conversely, the PMI is showing that China has reached the bottom of its business cycle curve and is on a recovery path.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/08/ism-pmi-analysis-for-us-economy-in-july.html
The US will need to issue more US treasuries to make up for the US$1T budget shortfall and this will definitely push up the short-term bond yields which will cause the inverted yield curve to worsen.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-us-total-debt-is-at-us69t-now.html
The US total debt will hit US$70T with this bond issuance.
So tell me, will this 2-10y inverted yield curve be different this time? No! This inverted yield curve is just reflecting the reality that the US is heading into a recession unless the US ends the trade war.

A new world, an unchartered territory – A negative yield environment
There are US$16T of negative yield bonds at
this moment as we speak and we have never come across this before in our
lifetime. The world will be in big trouble when the largest economy (USA) is also in a negative yield environment.
The conventional mindset is positive yield
whereby the borrower pays the lender an interest rate to secure a loan and not
the other around. Our current financial
system and economic structure are not built for a negative yield environment.
If we want to accept and adopt a negative
yield environment, we will need to change our mindsets but people are resistant
to changes. How many people can accept
the reality that they are paying the bank an interest rate for their deposits
instead of the bank paying them an interest rate? How many creditors can accept it when they
need to pay borrowers an interest rate?
Where will the banks get the money to lend out when people start to
stash money at home? Many elders in
Japan started to buy safes to keep money at home when the banks started
to charge deposit fees (interests).
In order to minimize the disruptions to the
conventionalists, we will need to restructure our financial system and economic structure which will entail many
uncertainties and risks because we have never done this before in our lifetime. This will be a regime change and it is an
arduous task.
Conversely, if we reject the negative yield
environment and maintain our conventional thinking, we will need to enforce positive
yield on the current situation and cause a great recession or depression to happen.
We are stuck between a rock and a hard
place now. Even the economists are at
their wit ends now because they’ve never studied the negative yield environment
before in their lifetime.
Hong Kong protestors fabricated fake news to defame HK police.
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/young-woman-allegedly-shot-in-the-eye-during-hong-kong-protests
The woman who injured her eye in the protest was actually shot by another protestor who did it with a catapult. She was not shot by the beanbag round used by the police because a beanbag round couldn't cause the injury she sustained. She also didn't lodge an official police report against the police because she knew her injury was not caused by the police.
The video below showed that there was no police near her when she was "shot".
The HK protestors fabricated the news to defame the HK police and used the fake news to orchestrate a violent riot against the HK government and police. This is not a protest but a real riot. The HK police must take a tougher stance against these rioters.

The US has only delayed tariffs against 60% of China goods to December but will still impose tariffs against 40% of China goods on 1 September.
The US is at the receiving end now and the Chinese won't back down because Trump has made it more difficult to reach a trade deal by adding the HK issue to the trade talk list. Trump wants Xi to settle the HK issue humanely first before he is willing to have a trade talk with Xi.

Besides the US retail sector, the US farms are in troubles too.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-farms-billions-debt-numbers-153314408.html
The US farms are heavily in debts!
China's ban on US agricultural products is hitting the US farmers severely.
The US-China tariffs are hitting the US retailers severely too.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-us-will-close-12000-retailers-in.html
If the US property sector crashes at this time, the banks will recall the farm loans which in turn will cause massive farm bankruptcies because the farmers use their lands as collaterals.
The US is just hanging on the edge of the precipice. When the US loses the grip, it will fall into the abyss.

The US-China financial war talk is on the rise after we first posted the 4 stages of escalation on 9 August 2019.
The China central bank ex-bankers warned about this on 10 August 2019, a day after our posting.
There is a more detailed discussion on this today (see below).

First of all, we're not fearmongering to profit from this. We're just stating the possible scenarios that might happen which derived from our analysis based on our financial knowledge. It is just a coincident that the financial war talk is becoming a topic after our first post.
Are we clairvoyants? We wished we were but we were not.
We agree that we're not always right but we're also seldom wrong. Heehee!

The Hong Kong police are incapable to protect the innocent.
The HK police should have taken a much tougher stance against the rioters. It was pretty obvious that the China reporter from Global Times had been taken as a hostage because he was tied up against his will and the circumstance had escalated from rioting into a hostage situation.
The HK police should have fired many rubber bullets at the rioters to disperse them so that the police can bulldoze its ways through to save the hostage but the HK police didn't. The HK police have no capability and competency to save an innocent person. The HK police show that they don't know how to handle the situation and have inadequate training to assess the situation.
