The US was caught red-handed for fudging its employment data.

https://www.marketplace.org/2019/08/23/job-creation-revised-down/

The US had to revise down its employment by 500,000 jobs.

We questioned the validity of the US employment data when we analyzed it in May 2019 because we found some discrepancy.

AP news is creating a false impression of South China Sea issue again.

https://news.yahoo.com/duterte-arrives-beijing-raise-south-025940861.html

The AP news keeps reporting that the 2016 Hague arbitration invalidated China's claims.  What is this 2016 Hague arbitration?  AP news refuses to name PCA directly because it wants to mislead people that it is referring to ICJ which is under the UN.  PCA is a private entity and is not under the UN.  We've stated this many times before.

Public vandalism is part and parcel of Hong Kong protest.

Is public vandalism allowed in the HK protest?

The police must punish those who destroy public properties deliberately.  They're lucky they're not in SG because vandalism of public properties carries a jail term and strokes of caning.

These are what the HK protestors called peaceful protests. Take a look and learn the new definition of "peaceful".

A picture tells a thousand words and a video tells a thousand pictures.

Do you see peaceful protests and police brutality?

or

Do you see riots and protestors' brutality?

UBS urges investors to sell stocks due to US-China trade war.

https://www.ft.com/content/98318f9a-c808-11e9-a1f4-3669401ba76f

UBS is very bearish about any potential US-China trade detente and concludes that a trade deal between these 2 nations would be hard to reach in the near future.  Therefore, it has recommended investors to sell stocks to avoid the volatilities caused by Trump's tirades (tweets).

The Hongkongers have everything to lose, not nothing to lose as proclaimed by the protestors.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/now-never-hong-kong-protesters-230324090.html

The Hongkongers don't really know what they're doing and also the repercussions they'll face in the future.

HK will become a sunset city soon because of the latest economic measures in Shenzhen.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/08/hong-kong-is-being-marginalized-by-china.html

They claimed that the housing cost was too high in HK but it was the HK residents (landlords) that blocked the revamp of the housing policy especially the land sales.

Tung Chee Hwa (ex-chief executive of HK) tried to resolve the housing problem by releasing more lands but he was forced to step down after facing severe protests against it because the land sales would bring down the property prices and rentals.  Thereafter, nobody is willing to revamp the housing policy for fear of the same backlash.

Hong Kong is being marginalized by China.

https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3024421/china-extends-pilot-free-trade-zones-strategic-border-regions

China has just announced 6 new FTZz to fight the US-China trade war and also to marginalize HK.  FTZs are basically tariff-free or have negligible tariffs to encourage a free flow of trading goods and services.

HK is really a sunset city now.  Nonetheless, HK is still part of China and China has promised that Hongkongers will be accorded with the same status as Shenzhen residents if they work and invest in Shenzhen.  Therefore, there will be an outflow of talents in HK in the future.

Renminbi has depreciated further after China's retaliation.

Blue line: USD/CNH (offshore)
Black line: USD/CNY (onshore)

RMB has depreciated further after our post below.  RMB has the potential to depreciate to 7.30 when the US-China trade tension rises further.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/08/huge-risk-free-arbitrage-opportunity.html

Trump lied again to stop the stock markets from falling.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/yuan-pares-back-losses-trade-041400776.html

Trump proclaimed that China called to request for a trade renegotiation and the stock markets recovered a little bit after that.

However, China's foreign ministry stated that it was unaware of such a call between the US and China.

We all know that Trump is a congenital liar and he will lie to keep the stock markets up because his cronies are losing big in the financial market.
