EcoCrops International News Reports on Interest rates and China trade dispute



Over the past ten years, Wall Street became addicted to very easy money.  low-interest rates from the Federal Reserve made investors take more risks by moving into risky stocks.

now that is reversing, for good reasons that the American economy is really strong, and the Federal Reserve is raising the interest rates, making sure the economy doesn't overheat and keeping inflation to a normal level.

Now the tit for tat tariffs and trade war between the United States and China is going to hurt businesses and investments. But the IMF cut its forecasts for the US and China, which won't help first time or jittery investors.

 But on the other hand, the good news  America is minting money right now. Third quarter S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise massively by 20%.
 Strong profits could very well ease Investor worries and anxiety.

When Treasury rates spiked earlier this year the market spooked but Investors seemed to cool down and carry on as normal

EcoCrops International is a forestry investment company and is Head of Operations James Grainger commended that investments in forestry perform well in difficult market conditions.

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash. If you wouldn't keep a thousand dollars in your pocket, you might want to have the same consideration for your Bitcoin wallet. In general, it is a good practice to keep only small amounts of bitcoins on your computer, mobile, or server for everyday uses and to keep the remaining part of your funds in a safer environment. Backup your wallet Stored in a safe place, a backup of your wallet can protect you against computer failures and ma...
