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.

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online.

Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased effici...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...
