Investors were cautious about the Chinese market for three years. However, since the end of January 2024, the MSCI China has returned about 20%, which took some investors by surprise. After last year’s wild swings in investor sentiment, investors are understandably asking if this rally is sustainable this time. Given the risks that still exist, for example in the domestic property sector, but also externally from new import tariffs and strained US-China relations, the question is a fair one. However, we are seeing several encouraging developments, which make us think this rebound may be different from previous rallies.

Love this type of visual data. It puts things into a different perspective 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👀 Much easier to see where the US spends money and where it makes money. A deficit worth over $1 trillion dollars 🤯. That’s crazy. America (in my opinion) can and should become a net exporter over time. At the very least close the gap of the deficit, cut it in half. That would give the country’s economy so much more boost and strength. Help lower the inflation. Give more earnings to the people. Once upon a time the US used to be a net exporter of goods. 1975 to be exact. President Gerald Ford. Since then America 🇺🇸 buys more than it sells. And honestly, that’s a bit strange. $1 trillion dollars!!! American brands used to the best in the world. And the biggest. And many still are. How come they are not making more worldwide??? Copyright issues… Intellectual property issues… Licensing issues… But somewhere along the way America has forgotten how good we are and can be. American brands are still appealing around the globe and have been setting the tone for the rest of the world. Nike. Microsoft. NBA. NHL. Tesla. Spacex. X. Facebook. Instagram. Amazon. Coca Cola. Uber. Google. IBM. WWE. MTV. NETFLIX. Oracle. Visa. Mastercard. Walmart. Pepsi. Disney. Ford. Nvidia. Apple alone is worth a trillion!!! Come on!!!! I can keep going. My point is… America can be a bit more strategic and tactical, and we can get a fairer share of the global trading market. We can sell more of our good and services. We can copyright and protect our innovations IP better. We can use smart contracts. AI. Blockchains. Digital moneys. Better and clearer regulation. (Wink wink 😉) This would help the county close its deficit and help the economy. All while keeping interest rates stable. With room to go down. Then America will restore its might. Will continue to be a great example for the rest of the world. Strong. Independent. A true symbol of business. Of how American business is and can be done. #fintech #economy #trade #blockchain #nft

This controversy is what attracted the eyes of US regulators , again, into Swiss banks. Quoted: Bill Browder, political activist. 'Switzerland allows Russians to have the money to kill Ukrainians and we should do something to shut that down'... 'And If the Swiss are not willing to do that voluntarily we should put pressure on them. They weren't ready to give back the nazi gold until the US congress got involved; and the congress has power here and the Swiss respect that. Sometimes when people don't behave themselves, we need to give an incentive to behave themselves, that's why we are all here'. Are these accusations justified? Let's look at the figures. Switzerland has frozen about CHF 7.5 bn and 17 villas, not so much compared to the CHF 9bn frozen by the USA and the CHF 24bn frozen by the EU. However given the total amount of Russian assets deposited in Switzerland which is estimated up to CHF 240bn the Swiss 'confiscation' is 'LAUGHABLE'.

Some of the most important partners are a case of proximity. Canada and Mexico are members of the USMCA agreement (which replaced NAFTA), making North America one of the world’s largest free trade zones. The U.S. dollar is typically stronger than the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso, making imports from Canada and Mexico relatively cheaper for U.S. consumers and businesses. Mexico’s lower labor costs and Canada’s petroleum surplus both play a role in trade imbalances as well.

Interesting analysis and a hot topic among investors at the moment.

Can small measures stop a war, just enough to avoid critics? Confidentiality on criminality is a crumbling legacy, imploding like a domino. What if the problem is bigger than the largest banks’ stress tests? Europe's weak link is clear: legacy Swiss banks with huge skeletons in the closet, popping up like popcorn. Local notaries, financial consultants, lawyers, family offices, and the entire value chain are implicated. #StopTheWar #FinancialTransparency #SwissBankingCrisis #BankStressTest #EuropeanEconomy #LegacyBanks #FinancialReform #EndCorruption #CriminalConfidentiality #FinancialConsultants #Notaries #Lawyers #FamilyOffices #EconomicJustice #FinancialEthics #BankingRevolution #EthicalFinance #BlockchainBanking #FutureOfFinance #FinancialInclusion #InvestorAlert #BankingCrisis #TransparencyInBanking #FightCorruption #FinancialAccountability #PopcornScandals

🔐 DO YOU KNOW THE FREE PORTS? DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY ARE IMPORTANT IN THE ART WORLD? 🎨 They are a system of secret deposits, kept inside multi-storey sheds, where priceless works of art and precious goods are hidden. 🖼️💎 These 'vaults' are not accessible to the public and escape ordinary tax administration. 💼💰 Geneva, Luxembourg, Singapore and Beijing are just some of the nerve centres of this ever-expanding system. 🌐 The Geneva Free Port, with around 1.2 million works of art in its custody, is an emblematic example of the scale of the phenomenon. 🇨🇭🖼️ Born for the temporary transit of goods, the Free Ports have turned into 'lockers' for the business elite. 💼 The fiscal and administrative advantages offered are considerable: no duties, taxes or customs requirements, turning them into a paradise for those wishing to protect their assets and optimise their investments. 💰📈 The free ports open a heated debate on the future of art and the role of these 'secret vaults'. 🔥 A complex system with lights and shadows that requires in-depth reflection and balanced solutions. 💡 And you, whose side are you on? 🤔 #portsfranks #art #investments #fiscal

Do foreign currency-denominated bonds make sense for Swiss investors? Given relatively high US interest rates, Swiss bond investors might be tempted to put their money in US government securities. In this insight, Markus Thöny, Head of Swiss Fixed Income, compares CHF-denominated bonds with those in foreign currencies to assess their potential risk/return profiles for Swiss investors.
