Personal opinions today
 
Markets are worried the U.S. government will raise tariffs to 25% on imports from China to U.S. goods on Friday. Dow and global stock fell, money flowed into gold and JPY, which all rose. In addition, the United States is expected to impose tariffs on Chinese imports of U.S. goods in anticipation of the collapse of trade talks between China and the United States this week, and global productivity is expected to decline. Also, crude oil price fell back to $61 again.
 
While trade talks between the United States and China are set to begin tomorrow, market fears are rising amid threats from the US President. Any news that eased tensions during the talks would boost global stocks and restore the investment climate. On the other hand, if the talks fail and the United States imposes tariffs on Chinese goods on Friday, the market will be tough, with the possibility of a repeat of December last year, global stock market decline. In addition, the price of crude oil is likely to fall, money flow into gold and the JPY. The Chinese RMB, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar are again facing declines.
