Monday Market Misgivings – China, Italy, Bonds, Brazil & Brexit

Problems, we've got problems … They're not new problems and trade issues and bond issues are self-inflicted problems but, as was made obvious by the Kavanaugh confirmation this weekend – these self-inflicted problems aren't going to go away soon.  If America is indeed on the wrong path – the wheels are being locked in with lifetime appointments that insure these policies will last long after Trump has gone to pasture.    As you can see from the chart on the right, other than Israel, Kenya and, of course, Mother Russia, other contries' view of America has been deteriorating rapidly since Trump took office – worse even than Trump's poll numbers at home.  People in other countries consider the United States, not Russia or China or Iran – to be the single biggest threat to World Peace. Meanwhile, Trump's rollback of Obama's Climate Policies and withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords has, according to the new report from the United Nations , set us on a path for Global Catastrophe as soon as 2040 which, in case you are not good at math, is only 19.5 years away.   The report , issued on Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of scientists convened by the United Nations to guide world leaders, describes a world of worsening food shortages and wildfires, and a mass die-off of coral reefs as soon as 2040 — a period well within the lifetime of much of the global population.

Problems, we've got problems

They're not new problems and trade issues and bond issues are self-inflicted problems but, as was made obvious by the Kavanaugh confirmation this weekend – these self-inflicted problems aren't going to go away soon.  If America is indeed on the wrong path – the wheels are being locked in with lifetime appointments that insure these policies will last long after Trump has gone to pasture.
