China Trade Plunges, Yuan Tumbles Near Lowest Level In 4 Years

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With just nine days until The Fed - which has prepared the world, apparently - will raise rates for the first time in years (and potentialy suck up to $800 billion of liquidity from the global collateral chains of shadow stability), it appears China is doing its best to start some destabilizing efforts (which worked last time). None of this is helped by the collapse in China trade (with imports down YoY for a record 13th month, and exports falling for 5 straight months).

 

Onshore Yuan ands Shanghai Composite volatility is rising notably as the Chinese currency continues to be allowed to tumble, set for its weakest close against the USDollar in 4 years...

 

And Chinese equity markets remain supported for now, but underlying selling pressure keeps reappearing...

We can all hear the screeching and rumblings becoming louder and louder as they get closer.  The wheels are coming off this train.

Speaking of wheels coming off the train:

The decline in rail carload traffic in November 2015 was broad based, reflecting manufacturing slowdowns, energy prices and policy, and the constraint of a strong dollar. Even intermodal was down in November, largely due to reduced international traffic

 I did the red arrow. It was me!

 There are posters in here that make good, reasoned arguments for bitcoin, but you, coinhead, are not among them.

 You have devolved into annoying, smartass trolldom.

 I will wear a red arrow from you as a badge of honor.

the Chinese are happy to sell Walmarty exports for a cheap yuan.

with wars that they started ramping up, the US is happy to sell military equipment to a locked in NATO customer base for an expensive dollar.

To most of the the world China's economy remains veiled behind a shroud and is far from transparent. Not only because China is far away from our shores, but the fact is their economy is very controlled by the government that acts as its puppet master and corruption has flourished. The bottom-line is we often have a difficult time getting real information on what is happening. To many of us it has become clear that China is in a situation similar to what America faced in 1929 following a period of rapid growth and credit expansion.

This is written not to diminish the accomplishments of China or to question their progress, but to point out much of what we have witnessed is the result of one time factors that have largely played out. Several factors have drastically changed politically, socially and from a military perspective since the days when America fueled China's growth. The article below titled, "China's Veiled Economy" highlights some of the reasons for doubting China.
