Trump is starting to backtrack on the truce deal with China.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/u-govt-staff-told-treat-033337237.html

Huawei ban will continue to be in effect.

We have just predicted this and Trump is doing it now as he is pressured by the hawkish politicians.

Mahathir is skinning Singapore again.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-blow-singapores-expansion-malaysia-035646777.html

Here we go again!

Mahathir likes to impede SG's economic developments.  He is trying to stop or delay our Tuas Mega Port construction by banning sea sand exports to SG.

We've stated before that a pro-China Malaysia is a threat to SG (Read below).

ISM PMI analysis for the US economy in June 2019.

The PMI prices dropped in June from 53.2 to 47.9 because the US reduced its local raw material purchases (estimated -2.4) and imported more raw materials (+0.6) which were cheaper.

The inventories and supplier's deliveries declined because the manufacturing sector was just producing enough to fulfill the backlog of orders since the new order dropped in June that was caused by a fall in overseas order.  The rises in the employment, production and customers' inventories also reflected the phenomenon to fulfill existing orders instead of new orders.

The local new order (estimated +0.1) denoted that the local consumption was relatively unchanged and couldn't hold up the PMI headline number (51.7, -0.4).  The PMI has been falling for 3 consecutive months already and the 2nd QTR GDP will be much weaker than the 1st QTR GDP.

Look like Trump will renege on the US-China truce deal.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-don-apos-t-believe-073039714.html

The hawkish politicians are pressuring Trump to break away from the truce deal and ban Huawei in the US.  They're embarking on a smearing campaign against China and Huawei to force Trump to act.

The US has reneged on international pacts (Paris & Iran) before and won't bat an eyelid from breaking away from the truce.  The US will fabricate intelligence and create lies to serve its own political interests.  This is the characteristic of the American culture and it will never change.

Korea-Japan trade war has just begun!

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-toughen-restrictions-exports-south-030402201.html

Notwithstanding the US-China trade war, 2 Asian giants, South Korea & Japan, have started another trade war because of the historical feud.

The US won't allow the Korea-Japan trade war to escalate because this will hurt the US strategic alliance in the South China Sea.  The US needs Korea and Japan to work together to contain China military advancement in the South China Sea.

I'm pretty confident that the US will act as a mediator between Korea & Japan to resolve this trade war.

President Trump is the man behind wall street. - Part 2

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/06/president-trump-is-man-behind-wall.html

Trump did everything he could to make sure that the trade talk didn't fall out.

He didn't insist on his previous terms (no mention of IP theft, forced technology transfer, change of China laws to accommodate his demands, etc).

He didn't mention HK at all in the trade talk.

He didn't impose new tariffs against China.

Why is Trump getting soft on China?

We have come up with a few reasons for Trump's meekness.

1. The top US business leaders are rallying their demands for "No China tariffs".

2. The 2nd QTR GDP will look bad.

3. Many Americans cannot enjoy Christmas if there are more China tariffs.

4. Farmers are suffering and losing their China market share.

5. Trump's popularity is dropping fast and furious.

Many analysts were dead wrong about Vietnam benefitting from the US-China trade war.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/vietnam-says-committed-to--free-and-fair--trade-after-trump-tariff-threat-11671716

Trump has threatened to impose tariffs against Vietnam.

We differed from many analysts over the view that Vietnam would benefit from the US-China trade war.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/11/do-thailand-and-vietnam-really-benefit.html

We had stated our view in our previous post above.  Smaller nations like Vietnam and Thai do not have the same clout as China to ward off the US tariffs because their economies and military prowess are not in the same league as China.  They will be bullied by the US and they will bend to US demands.  Vietnam is in trouble now.
