The downfall of exporting

The sudden drop in exports in China in November showed a single reason why Beijing wanted to agree on a "phase 1" trade deal - because US tariffs are hurting Chinese exports. Korea when global demand has weakened. On Sunday, Chinese customs authorities said total exports in November were down 1.1% from the previous year, while exports to the US were down 23% - a continuous decrease in the 12th month. Total shipments were expected to increase by 0.8% as retailers and companies all stockpiled for Christmas.

At risk of failure

The era of shocks and fears of central banks is over. More than 10 years of fighting the crisis - including the rush to support global growth this year - policy makers in key economies have faced a new decade with the same. few options to cope with the next downturn. Interest rates have been around historic lows or negative levels after more than 750 cuts since 2008, raising concerns about adverse benefits.

Who caused the outburst of repo contracts?

According to a new analysis from the Bank for International Settlements, the boom in the repo market in September was driven by large banks and hedge funds. They also say that this turmoil indicates a structural problem in this important financial corner and that the incident is not just a temporary problem. This market, which relies heavily on four major US banks to fund, has been partly supported because these companies now hold more liquid assets in the Treasury than they hold at the Federal Reserve. That means "their ability to provide short-term funding in repo markets has been reduced", while hedge funds are funding more investments through repos. On September 17, the general interest rate for short-term collateral contracts rose from about 2% to 10%.
