With China's economy expected to slow further in September after poor results in July and August, the People's Bank of China cut the amount of cash that banks must hold as reserves to the lowest level since 2007. The required reserve ratio for all banks will be lowered by 0.5 percentage points as of September […]

As I wrote in my August 26 post "Risk and uncertainty soared on Friday--and not for the reasons you might first think" I think that Friday's retaliatory tariffs from China and then the Trump administration's retaliation to the retaliation--plus rhetoric from President Donald Trump that asked if former good friend Xi Jinping was as big […]

Now that the Federal Reserve has decided to slow the pace of its interest rate increases in 2019--perhaps ultimately all the way to one or none--I think it's time to up the utilities exposure in my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio. Especially since in this market I'm looking for safety. So today I'm increasing the allocation […]

Just about everything was up in the overnight market. Asian stocks climbed. So did the Australia dollar and the Chinese yuan. And, importantly for U.S. investors, the S&P 500 index futures gained 1.5% in overnight trading. Emerging market currencies were all strong with those of South Africa, Turkey, and Mexico all gaining.

The results are good enough. At their dinner meeting at the Group of 20 meeting in Buenos Aires U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping made enough progress to take more of the risk of a U.S.-China trade war out of global financial markets. I think this clears the way for a continuation […]

It's certainly a long way from here to an agreement on trade between the United States and China, but news that the two sides are talking again has boosted stocks in New York. After all, there can't be any agreement if the two sides aren't talking and without some kind of preparatory work there's no […]

The U.S. Dollar Spot Index (DXY) is up again today, climbing 0.66% to 97.053. Since the index that tracks the dollar against six other major trading currencies bottomed for 2018 back on February 15, the dollar has gained 8.72%. The bulk of those gains are even more recent with the dollar up 7.76% against the […]

As I wrote in my Special Report: "10 Picks for the Emerging Markets Bounce," I'm adding Naspers (NPSNY) to my Jubak Picks Portfolio. It's unlikely that you know much about this South African Internet giant--after all no U.S. analysts follow the stock despite its $100.7 billion market cap. Most of Nasper's value comes from its […]

I'm moving Mexico and Banco Santander Mexico (BSMX) up from "buy later"--after more of an emerging market bounce from China and South Africa--to a "buy now" on the basis of the announcement on Monday, October 1, of a new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada to replace NAFTA (North American Free Trade […]
