EcoCrops International China trade sanctions will they work for Trump?

Eco Crops international like any other global company is watching with bated breath to see how China will react to the latest round of trade sanctions placed on them by The President of The United States.

Anyone like EcoCrops International who has a vested interest in the financial markets whether personal or institutional knows this has the potential to have far-reaching consequences for many investors.

We all saw the “Trump Bump” rally the markets when the president first took office in a bid to make good on his campaign promise to “make America great again”.

This latest move to impose even further sanctions on Americas fiercest rival in the global markets do seem to be more “Donald has the hump” rather than a return to the “Trump bump” days of yesteryear.

President Donald Trump announced a new 10% tariff of $200bn on Chinese goods arriving in the US from next week. It will rise to 25% at the end of the year.

Trump was quoted yesterday, saying: “For months, we have urged China to change these unfair practices, and give fair and reciprocal treatment to American companies. We have been very clear about the type of changes that need to be made, and we have given China every opportunity to treat us more fairly. But, so far, China has been unwilling to change its practices.”

In his usual unapologetic stance, he added: “I urge China’s leaders to take swift action to end their country’s unfair trade practices. Hopefully, this trade situation will be resolved, in the end, by myself and President Xi of China, for whom I have great respect and affection.”

The latest sanctions mean America will now have tariffs on almost half of its imports from China (which totalled over $500bn last year). China only imports around $130bn from America last year so the response will have to be a calculated one.
According to Bloomberg, Chinese Vice Premier Liu advised he is planning to hold a meeting in Beijing on Tuesday morning to discuss the government’s response.

Is something bad going to happen to the Stock Market

Jeffrey Gundlach the famed American inventor and business mogul believes that the global stock market is signalling 'something bad' is happening. Why would anyone listen? He has the pedigree and experience to make people sit up and listen. Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure. He was fired by TCW in 2009. In 2009, shortly after his firing from TCW, Gundlach founded Doubleline, along with Philip Barach and 14 other members of Gundlach's senior staff from TCW.  Barach was Gundlach's co-manager of the $12 Billion TCW Total Return bond fund.  In a February 2011 cover story, Barron's called him the "King of Bonds." Jeffrey Gundlach is of the opinion that the U.S. stock market will not be able to continue to diverge from global equity markets in the long-term. "I said [before...

A report from McKinsey & Co and Credit Suisse has shown a growing interest in investments that have a positive benefit for the environment.

The report called From Niche to Mainstream: The Building of an Institutional Asset Class showed the rise in number of investors seeking for investments that are sustainable commodities, protect the environment and are lower carbon emissions. The report concludes that over the next five years, the investment opportunity for environmental investments will between $200 billion to $400 billion. These figures represent a major uptick from the current annual private investment of around $10 billion. However, the higher figures that are predicted still fall well short of the amount of investment needed every year in order to protect global ecosystems. This amount is estimated to sit somewhere around the $300 billion mark. High yields are driving this interest, more than the green benefits and the ‘feel-good’ factor of these investments. The report reported that investors are also drawn by the fact that the yields from these natural resources – such as  Forestry and Forestry Prod...
