YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY

China’s government says it’s willing to work with the U.S. to end an escalating trade war, but blames President Donald Trump’s administration for the collapse in talks and won’t be pressured into concessions.

Asian stocks were poised to start the week on the back foot after the feud between the world’s two-largest economies grew over the weekend. The yen held near a six-month high.

President Donald Trump opened another potential front in his trade war on Friday, terminating India’s designation as a developing nation and thereby eliminating an exception that allowed the country to export nearly 2,000 products to the U.S.


TECHNICAL PULSE

Jardine Cycle and Carriage

Current Sentiment: BULLISH

Jardine C&C had an unexpected turn last Friday. It swiftly broke off the bearish flag and reversed immediately at the demand zone. This is the key indicator that the stock will continue its rally thereafter.

Too many unknowns leave China traders with no clue on stocks. How to put a price on a full-blown trade war has emerged as the key challenge for China’s stock investors.

US stock-index futures slid after China’s government blamed the US for the latest collapse in trade talks.

Pick your poison: For Fed, it’s higher inflation or an inevitable return to QE. The Great Recession ended a decade ago this month, but for the US Federal Reserve, the fallout has posed an era-defining choice: Either jolt Americans to expect higher inflation, or keep the printing press ready for the next economic slide.
