CHINA, UNTIL RECENTLY AMERICA'S LARGEST CREDITOR, WON'T BE FUNDING YOUR STIMULUS CHECK

Money Is Still Pouring Out Of Emerging Markets, Except For China

China’s counterparts — Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa and even Mexico — have not lured investors in, even on the lows.

There will always be investors looking for deals in emerging markets in the middle of a sell-off and a crisis — buy low, sell high, afterall — but judging by fund flow data, the big money is willing to wait this one out.

China’s equity market raked in almost $10 billion of net fund inflows since the beginning of March 2020, according to fund flow data provider EPFR Global in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are the only stand out.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 23): CGS-CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd said today it expects Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to cut the overnight policy rate (OPR) by another 75 basis points (bps) in anticipation of a contraction in the country’s economy in 2020 and subdued inflation during the year.

CGS-CIMB economists Michelle Chia and Lim Yee Ping wrote in a note that the nation’s monetary policy is likely to become more accommodative and CGS-CIMB expects BNM to reduce the OPR by 50bps this May, followed by a further 25bps cut in the second half of 2020.

Of the amount of debt on the asset, $211 million was owed to the state-owned Bank of China.

The building is valued at more than $1 billion.

The loan was soon securitized and sold, according to the company, which produced a financial document confirming the sale of the loan.

The loan, reported on Friday by Politico, derived from the Trump Organization's 30 per cent stake in the 1290 Avenue of the Americas building, bounded by 52nd Street and steps from Radio City Music Hall. However the loan then was repackaged, and the Bank of China says it no longer has any ownership of the loan.

Trump's partner, Vornado Realty Trust, refinanced the 43-story building in 2012, reported. Vornado has 70 per cent ownership.

President Donald Trump's company held a multi-million debt to Bank of China – in a large transaction that was the first by the state-owned back inside the United States.

Trump's ownership of the 43-story Manhattan tower has been known publicly for years and came up during his 2016 campaign. But it is getting a second look now that China is looking to be a flashpoint in his race against former Vice President Joe Biden.

Donald Trump's business empire was part of first American venture ever to get credit from Chinese communist party-controlled bank

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported a daily high of 1,426 new COVID-19 cases on Monday (Apr 20), bringing the national total to 8,014.

The vast majority of the new cases - 1,369 - are work permit holders living in foreign worker dormitories, according to a Ministry of Health (MOH) update on Monday night.

"The main increase today continues to be for work permit holders residing in dormitories, where we are picking up many more cases because of extensive testing," said the ministry. "These are not new infections as the workers are staying in their rooms and many have not reported sick. But when the teams go in to test them, many turn out to be positive."

Most of them have a mild illness and are being monitored in community isolation facilities or general wards. None are in the intensive care unit, MOH said.

Lindsay Graham: ‘We Ought To Sanction The Hell Out Of China’

“Cancelling debt is something we could do. You know China is the largest state sponsor of pandemics in the world. Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism. We sanctioned the hell out of Iran for spreading terrorism — we ought to sanction the hell out of China for spreading pandemics.”

“I would like to put sanctions on China not just for the United States, but for the entire world. This is the third pandemic to come out of China. Enough is enough. Bring the supply chain back? Yeah that’s a no brainer. Lets bring it back into this country by using carrots and sticks by telling businesses: if you relocate your supply chain we will give you a tax break. If you don’t we’re going to punish you.”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham floated the idea of cancelling U.S. debt to China on Saturday night while speaking to Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro, and called on the communist state to face sanctions for the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Let’s talk about what we can do now,” Pirro said. “We owe money to China, can we start cancelling that debt?”

“Marsha Blackburn has legislation with Martha McSally that basically allows us to cancel some of the debt that we owe to China,” Graham responded.

Borrowed money from someone and can cancel the debt, so that no need to pay the debt. That free lunch.

Real unemployment in the United States has likely hit 14.7%, the highest level since 1940
Over a three week stretch, 16.8 million Americans have filed for unemployment.

Another 6.6 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims in the week ending April 4. That follows 3.3 million and 6.9 million in the two previous weeks, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Before this three-week stretch of 16.8 million of initial jobless claims, there were already 7.1 million unemployed Americans as of March 13, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. When the figures are combined, it would equal 23.9 million unemployed, or a real unemployment rate of 14.7%—which would be the highest level since the early years of World War II.
