The Market of Discontent Rises?
July 15, 2016 - This market is simply ridiculous at this point - we're out! There was another horrible terror attack in France yesterday. The markets have given it a big "who cares"... TGIF - Despite 84 Dead In Terror Attack, The Market Continues To Rise - P
Re: China Exporting 1Mbpd refined oil products - "Slowing
domestic demand has left China’s oil refiners with huge surpluses they
are looking to sell abroad, a trend that mirrors similar increases in
China’s exports of processed basic materials such as steel in recent
months and has provoked complaints from governments and industries
around the world. Another key factor is the resurgence of China’s
independent crude refiners: Last year, the government allowed them to
directly import crude from abroad for the first time instead of buying
more expensive crude from domestic state-owned oil companies" - WSJ and SA

China
allowed direct importation for a reason. Above are all consequences of
a lack of dollar liquidity. China has been taking debt repayment from
oil exporting EM countries not in the form of dollars, which the
EM's don't have, but in the form of oil itself. The more adverse economic effects will resonate within the next 9 months. We breached many of these consequences, including stock piling on Feb 18th in Cheap Oil: Unhealthy?
Our outsourced and emasculated economy is based in speculative transfers (title shifts in assets) which are dissipated by financial investment (further money shuffling). There is little to no real value added to nominal GDP from such activity, and with furtherance of such activity through faulty fiscal, monetary and economic policy, only future downside.
With what is happening in BRICS, EM's and across the globe, which is not being "broadcast", its easy to see that some people are getting very hungry and angry, indeed. Screen door on a submarine? LOL. One would be so lucky to mercifully drown that fast.
The
bogus "wealth effect" in play is an end game that works like this....
How about, Katie, bar the door, the chickens are coming home to roost
and someone has to pay the piper. AKA Barbarians at the Gates, and for
anything but the misdirect of the terrorist's du jour or fanatical religious reasons.
Along with the terrorist attack in Nice which killed 86 on July 14th, 2016, the attempted coup in Turkey the following day was other sign.
Unless there is a massive and rapid global paradigm change, where enlightenment triumphs over conscious ignorance, things are bound to get worse. Need a clue? Refer to P's title for his post again and the title of this missive.
