China's move spooks the market.  What are your thoughts?

Where's the spooking?

 

"But a roughly 2 percent shift in the value of a currency, even a major one, is not that big a deal, and certainly not the kind of thing that would earn blaring headlines about a devaluation. The dollar has risen 22 percent against the euro in the last year; the Japanese yen plummeted 24 percent against the dollar in late 2012 and early 2013. What makes the Chinese move fascinating is what it says about China’s approach to its currency and economy, and about the country’s role in the global financial system in the future."

Poor @esmeraldagooch, you tried to start a discussion and get all this static.


I guess that means that you will ignore my links?  They were both very factual and interesting. Oh, well.

 

Better to stick with your politically preconceived notions not rooted in facts.

Meeeeoooowwwww.

 

I said that things seemed to have picked up recently. I was speaking of how much we import as opposed to exporting and the general instability that has occurred over the past years.

 

If I actually went to the time and trouble to provide a link, you would argue with the source, so what's the point.

That's your opinion.

 

There are no real "facts" anymore. Everything is or has been in the process of being rewritten.......revised, etc.
