9·21 days agoCarry trades refer to operations wherein an investor borrows in a currency with low interest rates, such as the Japanese yen, and reinvests the proceeds in higher-yielding assets elsewhere. The trading strategy has been hugely popular in recent years.

“The end goal is still to be able to bring supplies to our troops…to be able to practice freedom of navigation and overflight, without necessarily escalating the situation you’re in,” Brawner said.
In the same briefing, Brawner said the Philippines’ armed forces will also coordinate with a senator who claimed to have knowledge of a Chinese plan to target her country with hypersonic missiles.
Senator Imee Marcos, the president’s sister and head of the senate foreign relations committee, created a stir earlier this week with her video, posted on Tik Tok. She has provided no evidence for the claim.
The Chinese foreign ministry said it does not know where the claims came from, but maintained Beijing adheres to a defensive national defence policy and does not pose a threat to any country.
“Of course, we will never sit idly by and watch our legitimate rights and interests and regional peace and stability being violated and threatened,” Mao said.
Beijing had previously condemned the deployment of a U.S. intermediate range missile system on Philippine soil during joint military exercises in April and May.
An army spokesperson confirmed the Typhon missile launcher remains deployed in the Philippines’ northern islands, and there was no specific date yet as to when it would be “shipped out”.
Manila has sought wider international support on its maritime claims, seeking closer ties with countries to advocate for a rules-based order that recognises international law.
Classic USA puppeteering playbook.
Is this so that the conscripts will be able to read the US weapons’ user manuals?
Ya, just saw the headline about anti-tax protesters shot dead. Interesting context to say the least.
The article glosses over the real reason for this, which is that Argentina is on an inflation rocket ride due to the new libertarian leadership. Getting paid in currency that is being continually devalued on a daily basis is worse than just getting the beef. China is the world’s largest market for beef.

As the stew goes from hot to warm over millions of years things settle into some interesting patterns. The highest concentrations of known gold geological formations happen to be on the oldest pieces of the earth’s crust btw.
A learned individual has defected from the evil regime’s empire to the land of liberation to help build a brighter future.
After explaining how “Israel” deliberately and systematically committed war crimes against Palestinians, Khan emphasized, “As I also repeatedly underlined in my public statements, those who do not comply with the law should not complain later when my Office takes action. That day has come.”
Karim Khan telling genociders ‘you’ve fucked around, now is the time of your finding out’
Shredding the last shred of plausibility of not being a genocidal state
The USA has by far the largest prison population in absolute terms and per capita. You have no idea what you are saying.

Stephen Stanley, chief US economist at Santander Bank, said that any impact was likely to be small. “The biggest deflationary force in goods prices here of late has been used vehicles, which has nothing to do with China,” he said.
BYD, China’s biggest carmaker, recently announced price cuts of between 5 and 15 per cent for its electric vehicles in Germany, after Mercedes-Benz warned late last year that its profits were being hit by a “brutal” price war in electric vehicles.
Citigroup analysts said this month that falling prices in China could help to hasten moves by central banks in emerging markets to cut interest rates this year, particularly in countries that consume relatively large shares of Chinese goods.
“We as investors are only just starting to connect the dots” on how falling prices imported from China might play out across markets, said Luis Costa, global head of emerging markets sovereign debt strategy at Citigroup. “The question is the magnitude.”
Every technology that China invests in developing for themselves has ultimately improved access to that tech in the global south beyond anything the west has done. Solar and smart phones being the first two examples with high speed rail coming along too. This will likely follow a similar process. I’m excited to see where this leads.
China is supporting Russia who are waging a war resulting in civilian casualties!
but the civilian casualty rate is like 10+ times worse in the war [actually a genocide] that the USA is directly supporting
This is going to boost the insurance rates I would imagine. Prosperity Guardian is going to be spending money on protecting a handful of the most risk-tolerant ships/crews. The only other traffic will be non-genocider/enablers stuff that won’t be targeted anyway.
I really believe this is one of the biggest blindspots of the Israeli public. They are still unable to even acknowledge how many people died on Oct 7th to the military response. This author has family in Be’eri, where the tanks shot houses that were filled with hostages. He has to know about the various documented instances of Hannibal Directive happening on Oct 7th. Just another one of the “it’s Hamas’ fault” denialism that he writes about in other cases, but cannot even mention. The latest genocide campaign really started when the commanders authorized the ‘killing zone’ along the Gaza fence area that included the rave festival grounds.
This denial is critical to keep the big lie of Oct 7th alive, to maintaining some thin veneer of victimhood over the top of continuing genocidal acts through out Palestine.
