In Economics: Does US depend on China?  It seems both depend on each other
“It’s over,”
...just kidding!
The U.S. remains engaged with China over the phase one trade deal signed last January and according to trade negotiator Bob Lighthizer the deal is going well.President Trump has made similar comments just recently."
The response has instant spike in stocks..

And yuan...

This follows various threats of US-China decoupling from the White House, and also an increasing anti-dollar rhetoric from Chinese officials.

Trump will not be pleased at the market drop - but then again, that's Powell's problem now! The question is why now? Which makes us wonder if the Trump admin realizes 'we, the people' need a non-domestic enemy to focus on and distract from the unrest at home.

For the financial markets, the period since late February has been a watershed - a genuinely epic sequence of action and reaction.
By Tony Pasquariello, global head of HF Sales at Goldman
This sequence wasn’t constructed to represent a cohesive theme or directional bias, but I think we can agree on the following: this period has been epochal.  we’re passing the early chapters.  and, perhaps most importantly, the interplay between the financial markets and policy has been truly enormous and without precedent; the undeniable fact that government has been an overwhelming force in markets is shot through the list below:

The Deep State is destructive, but it’s great for the people in it. And, like any living organism, its prime directive is: Survive!
CHECK THESE SUBTITLES
The State
The Deep State
Who Is Part of the Deep State?
The American Deep State is a real, but informal, structure that has arisen to not just profit from, but control, the State.
These are what you might call the running dogs.
The Deep State is destructive, but it’s great for the people in it.
Is it a conspiracy, headed by a man stroking a white cat? I think not
CONCLUSION
The American Deep State rotates around the Washington Beltway. It imports America’s wealth as tax revenue. A lot of that wealth is consumed there by useless mouths. And then, it exports things that reinforce the Deep State, including wars, fiat currency, and destructive policies. This is unsustainable simply because nothing of value comes out of the city.

With gold pushing up to multi-year highs (as the dollar begins to sink), many are asking: where to from here?
….
USD vs FIAT  &  USD vs  GOLD
SEE CHART

Goldman believes inflation will need to move above the Fed’s 2% target and this move to be met with a muted policy response.
Historically, gold’s relationship with inflation is non-linear. Gold does not display a strong correlation with inflation while the latter is moderate but becomes strongly correlated when inflation gets above a certain threshold. Gold also tends to go up moderately in deflationary environments.
In fact, we find that what matters most is the deviation of inflation from its trend, rather than its absolute level (see Exhibit 11 and Exhibit 12).
                SEE CHARTS:

Additionally, Goldman finds that gold is a useful addition to any portfolio in periods of high inflation.
Specifically, we looked at gold and equity’s performance over previous inflationary environments. We divide the inflationary regimes by looking at deviation of YoY inflation rates vs. its 10 year rolling average.
SEE CHART:
Gold tends to outperform equities in environments where inflation go above trend
We find that gold tends to outperform equities in high inflation regimes as well as in deflationary environments, whereas equities do better when inflation is moderate.
There is another shoe that needs to drop – a breakdown in the US dollar. Several people in the mainstream have warned about this in recent weeksYale economist Stephen Roach’s warned that “the era of the US dollar’s ‘exorbitant privilege’ as the world’s primary reserve currency is coming to an end.” MeanwhileGuggenheim Investments Chief Investment Officer Scott Minerd said that while “there are no signs the world is questioning the value of the US dollar” right now, it’s clear that the greenback is  “slowly losing market share as the world’s reserve currency.”

"We are now returning to an OW stance, up from N. We believe that recent Cyclical rotation is ending."
Today, it's JPMorgan's turn.
First, some background: with just over a week to go until the end of the 2nd quarter, the Dow is on track for its largest quarterly gain since Q1 1987, the S&P 500 since Q4 1998, and the Nasdaq since Q4 2001. According to Goldman, "we’ve just seen the strongest rally out of a bear market since ... 1932."
According to JPMorgan's equity strategist Mislav Mateja the recent Cyclical rotation is ending, noting that "we called for a tactical rotation into Cyclicals and Value style on 18th of May, but believe the trade is largely done, and have recently advised to close it." Matejka also notes "that US Value/Momentum baskets appear not to be making gains anymore" and adds that "value will struggle to sustainably rebound as long as bond yields do not confirm the rotation"
SEE CHART:
US value vs Momentum baskets  ytd

Said otherwise, just like Goldman did with European stocks, so JPM's prop desk has now accumulated a large enough inventory of US stocks, and only after the biggest stock market rally since the Great Depression, and after the Nasdaq rose for 7 days in a row - its longest streak since the late 2019 meltup - and up 18 of 21 days, is JPM telling its clients to buy all those US stocks, and especially FAAMGs that it has to sell. Luckily for JPM, there are more than enough Robinhooders who will gladly eat up everything it has to sell.

Max and Stacy discuss the latest data from the US Federal Reserve, which proves that the Fed itself creates some of the inequality causing unrest across the world, as more and more money-printing begets more and more unrest. In the second half, Max talks to investor Michael Pento of PentoPort.com about the state of the Fed’s balance sheet and whether or not he agrees with Yale economist Stephen Roach, who forecasts a dollar collapse.
