China' s Xi is about to deliver a speech that could have major consequences for the trade war

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to address his nation at 10 a.m. in Beijing (9 p.m. ET Monday) on the 40th anniversary of China' s " reform and opening up."
  • Dec. 18 commemorates how China' s former leader Deng Xiaoping spearheaded the restructuring of the economy in 1978.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump and Xi reached a temporary ceasefire earlier this month with the U.S. agreeing not to increase tariffs if the two countries can reach some resolution on a host of issues within 90 days.

1) China data and Japan data release are both negative, but due largely to US China Trade disagreement.  With the US China Trade  talk and  steps taken to de-escalate,  the data should improve.  2) ECB end stimulus,  might  result in some tightening of credit, but its also a sign of improving economics in EU.

IMO, DYODD

Japan business confidence steady but outlook sours, survey shows

  • Confidence among large Japanese manufacturers held steady in December from three months ago, following three quarters of deterioration, the central bank' s closely watched " tankan" survey showed on Friday.
  • The survey also showed big firms plan to raise their capital spending by 14.3 percent in the financial year to March 2019, versus analysts' median estimate of a 12.7 percent increase.

Market seems to be listless today, directionless, no marjor news to move it up or down.  The market is currently bias to the upside based on the current under-tone of positivity from the market tangibles.  The next forseeable trigger event is the FOMC Meeting on the 18 - 19 December 2018.

Greater China Markets should be cheering this development and the granting of bail to Meng so that she can leave in comfort.  This is also a sign of a reciprocal US to China' s recent effort on trade, soy import and schedule of cutting of US auto import tariff from 40% to 15%.
