The Pressure is On
With democrats pushing for impeachment markets take a downturn.
With the spotlight on President Trump and his impeachment the market has been affected negativity. A lot of noise was created in the media last week based on the release of a transcript between Trump and the Ukrainian president. Although the Trump is far from a potential impeachment the stock markets tipped downward slightly.
The news's coverage of the call for impeachment has dominated the scene and eclipsed. Markets in Europe are looking weak and the effect of new ECB monetary policy is not yet clear.
Also concerning is the white house call for more restrictions against Chinese business. Americans may potentially be limited on the flow of investment portfolios into China. The limits are a result of the trade war that has been going on since President Trump took office. The two largest economies in the world will are under negotiations now for a treaty of sorts.
China recently lifted limits that investors from foreign countries could make in the Chinese market. This of course lead to the limit that might be placed on US citizens in order to keep the pressure on. Another option being thrown around is to limit the amount of funds that flow to China from government pensions. With the billions of dollars worth of tariffs already placed this might be the tipping point.
The NSC (National Safety Council) along with the National Economic Council and the Treasury Department got together at a dinner to discuss the issues and potential solutions. The NSC was especially supportive and many others stood behind the Trump Administration. The US has already placed sanctions on investing in some Chinese companies that seemed untrustworthy.
The questions arise on whether or not the government should be allowed to take away the right to invest where we would like. Many US investors would lobe to spend money in the Chinese market. Over 1 trillion dollars worth of Chinese companies are listed on the Nasdaq, NYSE, and American. What could the sanctions lead to? The NEC is still working on the total implications. What we do know is that money flowing into the Chinese market is US capital supporting the Chinese communist party and the largest rival that the United States has. Keep your eyes on this issue and we will keep you posted.
