06/26/2023 - U.S. Losing Its Key Export Markets

Mish Shedlock:

“United States Top 10 Exports

  1. [Petroleum Products] Mineral fuels including oil: US$378.6 billion (18.4% of total exports)
  2. Machinery including computers: $229.6 billion (11.1%)
  3. Electrical machinery, equipment: $197.7 billion (9.6%)
  4. Vehicles: $134.9 billion (6.5%)
  5. Aircraft, spacecraft: $102.8 billion (5%)
  6. Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $99.1 billion (4.8%)
  7. Gems, precious metals: $92.5 billion (4.5%)
  8. Pharmaceuticals: $83.5 billion (4%)
  9. Plastics, plastic articles: $83.3 billion (4%)
  10. Organic chemicals: $51.1 billion (2.5%)

The above list represents 2022, from United States Top 10 Exports

Biden Policy Impact

  • Biden energy policies would kill #1, and curtail # 9 and #10.
  • Bidens restrictions on sensitive machinery and chips will reduce #2, #3, #5, and #6 exports to China and Russia.

China itself seeks to curtail #4 and #5. What remains are gems, precious metals, and pharmaceuticals.

I am surprised grain exports are not in the top 10. But as Biden has riled China on a number of fronts, it has increasingly turned to Brazil.”

04/25/2023 - Yra Harris: Why Ueda Needs To Raise Rates Or Expand Yield Curve Control

“The world’s central banks OUGHT to suggest to Ueda to raise its YCC ceiling BECAUSE THE WEAK YEN FROM THE CARRY TRADE IS CAUSING GRAVE DANGER FOR THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYTEM. The ongoing carry trade elevates global assets — stocks and bonds — suggesting that financial conditions are still to loose. In a previous blog post I suggested that the FED and ECB should not use the equity prices as the BAROMETER of financial conditions but look at other metrics like consumer debt and certainly the rollover of commercial real estate loans.”

“STOP DEPENDING ON EQUITY MARKETS AS THE TELL IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS it is a methodology promoted by the purveyors of asset peddling. PAUSE AND TAKE A MEASURE OF THE FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY INFECTING THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM. The political backlash you will be facing from those warning about how workers will pay the price in unemployment while the RENTIERS GET BAILED OUT.
