Trump has indicated his disdain for the World Trade Organization and for the Trans-Pacific Partnership while starting mini-trade wars with US allies, eliminating those potential avenues to increase pressure on China to be a freer trader. He’s got his own way of doing things<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Investors are dealing with a painful new reality: The trade war between the United States and China could last indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The anxiety caused by that realization rippled through the stock markets on Monday. The S&P 500 tumbled 2.4 percent after China said it would increase tariffs on nearly $60 billion of American-made goods in response to a similar move last week by the Trump administration.
…<\/b>
On Friday, Mr. Trump raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese-made goods.<\/p>\n

But signs of economic worry also emerged in other financial markets on Monday. The price of Treasury bonds rose, as investors sought the safety of government securities. Prices for soybeans and copper, both of which are sensitive to global growth and trade, dropped. Interest rates rose in corporate bond markets, an indication that investors were seeking higher premiums in response to the increased economic risks of a worsening trade fight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The trouble is, I think, that he doesn’t care. The point of all this is to impress Joe Lunchbucket, who is tired of all this pusillanimous talking and wants to see some action. And there’s no other point.<\/p>\n

The five-year Canada yield was down 7bp to 1.55%<\/a>, which didn’t do FixedResets a lot of good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
