Markets of course keep falling , I think China needs to be watched very carefully right now
credit markets and stock internals have been crap for weeks ..Russia just accelerated what was happening due to the federal reserve shifting gears and vocally saying they are ending printing in March (they will re-start at some point
I think the bigger issue . If I was China and facing a rapidly slowing economy (thanks to its Main driver of decades worth of growth imploding ) ..its massive property sector ..(history shows powerful countries with fleeting power become the most desperate to take risks ..it would be an opportune time to make a move on Taiwan and then you would see a potentially massive impact on global economy due to Taiwan housing by far the worlds largest semi conductor manufacturer (Russia -Ukraine’s is very minimal and just accelerates a market that’s been looking for a catalyst) and yes that’s beside the fact the Ukrainian population is in the Shiat either way now , which is very sad ..even if it seemed inevitable Putin would do this post Olympics
The US is basically seen from the outside as having so many internal infighting Issue right now - splintered and preoccupied with infighting do to politics and their associated marketing points the devisive/provoking political media is hyperfocused on Maximizing emotional responses out of their “teams”
