Why everyone is suddenly so interested in US bond markets

What would be the point of not buying up US debt? Are you saying the Chinese should sabotage its whole export based economy? That would be idiotic, particularly when Japan, the UK, Luxembourg, the Fed etc would simply buy up more. All that would ...

They will at a pace that suits them. The debt devalues their own currency to maintain their export advantage.

You still don’t get it do you. I have only been arguing against your 2 claims and only your 2 claims 1. Your claim Trumps move away from being confrontational seems bipolar. 2. Your claim that Trumps move away from pre existing trade deals, is what ...

With a Purchasing Power less than 25% of the US, I doubt it. America is by far the largest global consumer.
U.S. Plans to Use Tariff Negotiations to Isolate China

I wouldn’t call a trade deficit of nearly $1 trillion “stable”, particularly when it is growing.

Well it most certainly worked to get leaders to start negotiations, which was the whole point of Trumps tariffs

- Forgediron commented Apr 18, 2025
you keep bringing up trade stability. I’m not arguing trade stability. I’m arguing Trump saw the existing trade relationships as unfair to America. So he disrupted the relationship to bring leaders to the table to negotiate new deals. Creating ...

I was just correcting your statement. You said Trump was having to renegotiate BECAUSE he had shattered the trade stability. You knew that was bullshit when you said it. The truth is, he shattered the trade relationship to pressure leaders to the ...

- Forgediron commented Apr 18, 2025
That’s because China is reaching out to seek a deal (albeit with a clause of Trump being respectful), which was the whole idea of Trump ramping up Tariffs in the first place. He is a disruptor of the status quo looking to bring leaders to the trade ...

Wrong, China has responded with its own tariff increases and embargo on Boeing purchases etc. China says it wants Trump to show respect before they negotiate a deal. Not slapping China with further Tariffs is Trumps idea of showing respect ...
