泰國總理巴育考慮遷都

NOW財經

【Now新聞台】泰國總理巴育考慮將首都遷移至曼谷以外的地方。

曼谷面臨人口過多、交通嚴重擠塞、污染和海平面上升等問題。根據去年一項研究,曼谷因為道路嚴重擠塞,在全球最差交通排第八,僅次於印尼首都雅加達。

巴育就遷都提出兩個方案,分別是遷都至一個不太遠,亦不太昂貴的城市,或者遷移至曼谷外圍。有研究指出,政府部門可搬至曼谷以東的差春騷府。

巴育稱,會詳細研究遷都的社會與經濟影響,又稱有可能在他任內決定遷都。

巴育並非首個提出遷都的泰國總理,前總理他信亦曾建議,將行政部門遷移至距離曼谷100公里的那空那育府。

鄰近的印尼早前已決定將首都由雅加達,遷至東加里曼丹省。

Split Between Official & Real Interest Rates

www.armstrongeconomics.com

QUESTION:

Mr. Armstrong; When I first brought this topic up at our board meeting about the split in interest rates between private and public, there was skepticism because such a proposition had never taken place in the short-term memory of our perception of history. I explained your theory and the rest of the members listened only because it was you saying this. That skepticism has now vanished. It is painfully obvious that the events in REPO have proven what you have said was correct that the real rate has risen and the Fed has been forced to intervene to try to prevent real rates from exploding. Is this what the future holds? The free market will undermine the central banks?

KH

ANSWER:

I understand what I have warned about is not in any textbooks we were ever handed in school. During a liquidity crisis in which we have begun post-Labor Day, the shortage of money forces real rates to rise and that can be very dramatic. Don’t forget that it was the REPO market which brought down Lehman and Bear Stearns.

In 1899, there was a major liquidity crisis when call money rates soared touching 200%. The Federal Reserve did not exist at that time, but the Bank of England (BoE) did. There was a surge in stocks and the BoE feared speculation. Their discount interest rates were 3% in February 1899. They intervened and doubled the interest rate to 6% in November 1899. This set off a major panic. The British investors in America were forced to sell assets to take money home to meet the liquidity crisis created by the BoE. This created a global contagion and the US market plunged into a massive liquidity crisis as well as imported thanks to the BoE.

The USA had no central bank so the call money rates were a totally free market. The week of December 4th, 1899, saw the US share market collapse opening BELOW the previous week’s low and plunged 20% in just two weeks. On December 18th, 1899, the call money rate touched 200% in the midst of this liquidity crisis.

When I say we have put together the largest database on a global scale of the world economy, I am not kidding. I fully understand that nobody has ever heard of a split in the interest rates between public and private that can be at odds with one another. But in assembling all of this data and allowing the global correlations to unfold, we actually have a shot at understanding how the economy truly functions and where we are headed. All of the economic theories we were taught in school have FAILED!!!!! Quantitative Easing for more than 10 years has utterly failed to produce inflation despite the vast increase in the supply of money. That alone stands as a witness that Keynesian Economics does not work.

I have learned both from my clients around the world which taught me to view the world from their perspective based upon their currency. Socrates has taught me so much by showing me the correlations that no one else has ever dreamed of. This combination has resulted in a different perspective that I fully UNDERSTAND will often go against the established norms.

As for what lies ahead, the Free Markets will dictate the trend. The central banks have lost control of the world economy and they have become the source of the problem. They are trapped. As time passes, you will come to see the full force of the Free Markets. BTW – it was also the Free Markets which defeated Communism. They are doing the same with socialism.

陳雲: 釋放梁天琦! 梁天琦系的勇武派 現時處境是最危險。

全部亂局只是為了奪權利, 難為了商家、市民.........犧牲了年青人, 以為自己在為正義而戰........

#1馬國明放假一天31 分鐘前
陳雲:梁天琦系的勇武派最危險。狡兔死,走狗烹。提醒大家,勇武派被泛民犧牲的危險。這幾次在網上論壇發起的示威活動,已經有前線勇武者發現中伏,差役在關鍵的時候會在沿途的隱蔽之處大舉飛撲出來捉人。

懷疑這是泛民設下的局,在明年立法會選舉開始的時候,困鎖大部分梁天琦系的活躍者在獄中,用黃之鋒等香港眾志的明星來收割選票。
這個佈局也是合理的。泛民是收了財閥是指使來主導反送中運動,捆綁無辜市民上轎(送中條例是用來捉拿財閥敲詐勒索的,與普通小市民並無切身關係!),勇武派和陳雲將美國引入香港議程,泛民現在派新泛民來收割,也與共產黨妥協,用拘捕陷阱打殘甚至殺害強姦勇武派(尤其是梁天琦系),令他們終身傷痛,恢復市面平靜,給共產黨、地產財閥及國際財閥繼續在香港做生意,並且用普選來沖喜一下。

這種卑鄙的陽謀,我在本星期的沙龍講座講出來。
跟隨陳雲思想的勇武派過往不會爭議席,但梁天琦系的年輕勇武派大部分需要職業前景和活動補貼,他們一直在爭議席,但梁天琦又被困監獄,無法出來領導選舉,結果戰果會被新泛民收割!這是梁天琦系危險的地方。我一向呼籲釋放梁天琦,就是給梁天琦系適當的領導和議席報酬。我的大佈局和寬宏氣度,遠遠超過偽港獨可以想像的。

網民揚言10.1「大戰」 上萬警力嚴陣以待

Tomorrow you should stay at home, when you are in Hong Kong, even shopping centers and malls are not safe...........


巴士的報

網民計畫在九龍及新界至少6個地區舉行活動。

民陣申請「十.一」港島區遊行遭警方反對後,不少人在社交群組留言,揚言會繼續參與「自由行」,又計畫在九龍及新界至少6個地區舉行活動,大規模破壞國旗,並堵塞沙田馬場,阻礙國慶賽馬日舉行,有人更稱會大量投擲汽油彈,並在港鐵及商場縱火,以「營火晚會」迎國慶。消息稱,警方將出動上萬警力應對,嚴防縱火等可能造成嚴重傷亡的行徑。

明天是「十.一」國慶,不少示威者視為「決戰日」,縱使民陣原定舉辦的遊行及集會遭警方反對,但不少人連日在網上討論區及社交群組留言,表示會繼續上街,又表示會堵塞機場,有人則建議另外至少進行6區活動,更隨即發起網上民意調查,結果獲大部分網民支持,但活動內容完全沒有提及,狀甚神秘。

經網上討論達成共識的6區活動,地點包括屯門、沙田、荃灣、黃大仙、深水埗及灣仔,網上文宣僅寫上各區集合地點,不少網民及後建議佔領馬路遊行,並破壞附近懸掛的國旗,其中沙田活動應在中午前舉行,以便聯袂前往沙田馬場附近阻塞道路,務求「國慶日無馬跑」,不過大部分人對參與時間意見不一,有人認為應集中火力於港島區「自由行」,黃昏至晚上才轉往各區集合,亦有人指兩者應同時進行,以分散警力。

港島區「自由行」及6區活動,不少人建議應將「勇武」行動升級,當中專門研究示威「武器」的Telegram群組「真.香港人魔法部」,近日除了有不少人圖文並茂介紹「改良」汽油彈威力的方法,有人亦呼籲「全民升Level(升級)做魔法師」,四處縱火為國慶「贈興」,也有人建議將大量昆蟲藏於球體內,製成蟲彈投向警員,更有網民聲稱要放棄一切道德底綫對付警員,建議「組小隊襲擊休班警」及「殺警」。

另一群組「魔法敢死隊」內,有人號召明晚於各區商場內舉行「營火晚會」,並附上詳細的路綫指示及計畫,甚至有群組暗示要在港鐵縱火,若建議成真,隨時可能因火勢蔓延及產生大量濃煙,造成嚴重傷亡。消息稱,警方已從不同渠道收集情報,並部署上萬警力應對,確保迅速制止激進示威行為。

傳美考慮取消華企業在美上市資格 美財政部:「此刻」無此計劃

星島日報

早前有報道指中美將於下月10日重啟新一輪貿易談判,有報道指美國政府考慮取消中國企業在美上市的資格。美國財政部官員上周六(28日)否認傳聞,稱目前無計劃阻止中國企業在美國上市。

彭博社及路透社前日(上周五)均引述多個消息指,美國總統特朗普正考慮迫令在美上市的中資企業退出美國市場,又限制美國退休基金對中國投資,當時財政部未有即時作出回應。

It's Time To Go: Over Half Of All California Voters "Have Considered Leaving The State"

當一個地區變質時, 好多人都會想離開...........


www.zerohedge.com

Why in the world does anyone still want to live in California?

Great weather and good paying jobs are the two biggest positives that residents often point out, but the high cost of living and the absolutely ridiculous housing prices often eat up all of the extra money that Californians think that they are making.

In fact, it was recently reported that it now takes approximately $350,000 a year to live a middle class lifestyle in the city of San Francisco.  If you have a ton of money, it can partially insulate you from the problems that are increasingly ravaging the state, but unless you never go out in public nothing is going to insulate you completely.  Cities all over the state are degenerating into drug-infested, crime-ridden hellholes that are literally being overrun by millions of rats.  California has some of the worst traffic in the entire world, unchecked illegal immigration is causing a whole host of social problems, and gang activity has become a massive problem.  On top of everything else, California is being constantly hit by wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes and other natural disasters.  In fact, scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” hits, and that is probably one of the best reasons to leave California while you still can and never look back.

Yes, there are some California residents that continue to insist that it is a great place to live.

But if California is so wonderful, why have more than half of all California voters “considered leaving the state”?  The following comes from the Los Angeles Times

Just over half of California’s registered voters have considered leaving the state, with soaring housing costs cited as the most common reason for wanting to move, according to a new poll.
Young voters were especially likely to cite unaffordable housing as a reason for leaving, according to the latest latest UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times. But a different group, conservatives, also frequently suggested they wanted to leave — and for a very different reason: They feel alienated from the state’s political culture.
With the way the state is being run, conservatives have been moving out of California in large numbers for years.  In fact, I have a number of really good friends that left the state for political reasons and will never return.

On the other hand, California’s reputation for handing out free goodies has been a magnet for another class of people.  Today, almost half of all homeless people in the entire nation live in the state of California, and this has become such a huge crisis that it literally makes headlines all over the globe.

For example, the following comes from an article in a British news source
Cali Carlisle admits she is a heroin addict — ‘but in a healthy way,’ she insists, even if the visual evidence belies that claim.
Her nose is the brightest shade of red imaginable. She constantly picks at scabs all over her body. Her home is a makeshift bed beneath Interstate 80 in Sacramento.
And Monday was her 26th birthday. Not that you would ever guess. Anyone looking at her would think she is at least 15 years older.
This is the cold, hard reality of the glorious drug lifestyle that so many go to California to experience.

Every year, thousands upon thousands of young people that once had bright futures ahead of them end up on the streets, in prison or dead due to this raging epidemic.

And one of the places where it is the worst is in the capital of the state itself.  Not too long ago, a salon owner in Sacramento made headlines all over the nation when her rant about homelessness on social media went viral
“I just want to tell you what happens when I get to work,” stated Liz Novak, a local salon owner, to the media about what she’s had to deal with trying to conduct business in Sacramento.
“I have to clean up the poop and the pee off of my doorstep. I have to clean-up the syringes. I have to politely ask the people who I care for – I care for these people that are homeless – to move their tents out of the way of the door to my business.”
She ultimately had to move her salon completely because it became clear that things were not going to get better any time soon.

In the state of California today, virtually everything has been defiled.

At one time, California was teeming with natural beauty.  But today the entire state has become a trash dumpster, and that includes California’s once pristine beaches.  Just check out what Dr. Drew Pinsky recently told Laura Ingraham
“There is an organization out here called Heal the Bay which keeps tabs on safety of our beaches in Southern California, from Orange County to Ventura. Since the rains last Winter, [Heal the Bay] has been giving our beaches C’s to F’s, and F means completely overrun with fecal bacteria. What comes with that are other things like syringes, Hepatitis A and other infectious diseases.”
On top of everything else, seismic activity is a constant threat.

There have been more than 1,500 earthquakes in California and Nevada over the past 7 days, and these days that is considered to be a slow week.

Of course most of the earthquakes are very small, but scientists assure us that one of these days “the Big One” will hit the state.  When that day arrives, the geography of the state will be radically changed, and the death and destruction will be off the charts.

We live at a time when our planet is being greatly shaken, and many believe that what we have seen so far is just the beginning.

The coastline of the state of California lies directly along the infamous “Ring of Fire”, and scientists have been persistently warning us that the San Andreas fault is “locked and loaded” and could possibly “unzip all at once”.

It is such a shame what has happened to the state.  California should be one of the most beautiful, prosperous and enjoyable places to live in the entire world.  Unfortunately, Californians have been making exceedingly poor choices for decades, and the consequences of those decisions will be extremely bitter indeed.

27萬N無人士 明年津貼11億

文匯報

香港文匯報訊(記者 文森)曾於2013年、2015年及2016年推出的「N無津貼」即將重推。扶貧委員會轄下關愛基金專責小組昨日開會,通過向非公屋住戶及無領取綜援的低收入家庭,即俗稱的「N無人士」提供一次性的生活津貼(即「N無津貼」)。因應通脹問題,N無津貼金額將提高一成,料逾10萬住戶受惠,涉及27萬人,總津貼額達11億元,預料下月提交扶貧委員會大會表決,最快明年7月起率先接受一人住戶申請。

勞工及福利局局長羅致光昨日宣佈,關愛基金明年會再次推出「N無津貼」,金額會因應通脹而較2016年增加500元至1,000元,即一人住戶津貼增至4,400元、二人住戶獲發9,000元、三人住戶獲發12,500元、四人住戶獲發14,500元,5人或以上住戶劃一加至15,500元。

放寬入息限額 擴闊居所類別 

同時,N無津貼申請家庭的入息限額也較2016年有所放寬:政府將按照新的公屋申請資格,將一人住戶申請入息上限設定為14,325元,二人住戶為21,750元,六人或以上住戶為38,810元。住在私樓、工廈或商廈的申請者,租金上限維持在住戶入息限額的一半,但不設租金下限。政府又建議將社會房屋、更生人士宿舍等納入居所類別,其他申請資格則與過往相若。

政府建議邀請非政府機構參與推行計劃,所有申請將重新審核,並會按住戶人數分流申請。有關措施還待扶貧委員會下月開會通過,若順利最快明年7月率先接受一人住戶申請,整個申請期歷時9個月,到2021年3月結束。
計劃整體開支約11億元,羅致光表示,重推N無津貼是要回應財政司司長紓困措施,決定沒有政治考量,政府亦不恒常發放N無津貼,未來會視乎經濟環境及民生等因素再考慮是否發放。

陳茂波:訪港旅客大跌 經濟颱風愈吹愈近

信報財經新聞

政府昨日推出多項措施支援旅遊業界,財政司司長陳茂波在電台節目表示,「經濟颱風」愈吹愈近,形容已超過「三號風球」。

陳茂波又稱,連月來訪港旅客大跌,加上社會事件打擊本地消費意欲,零售、酒店及餐飲等行業面對很大壓力,預期10.1國慶訪港旅客會大幅減少,不少員工都放無薪假,故推出相關措施希望作出幫補。

他表示,本港第二季經濟增長不理想,相信第三季經濟亦難有改善,按季可能出現負增長,技術上進入衰退,而失業率可以上升得好快,因此要警惕。

被問到應否全民派錢,陳茂波則稱,現屆政府希望資源要有針對性,認為目前最重要是平息暴力衝撃,令市民出行不再擔心,外國人士願意到港旅遊及做生意。

Gold Bullion Imports Into China Surge 61% From 8 Year Low To 13 Tonnes

www.zerohedge.com

◆ Gold is 0.6% lower today at $1,497/oz and appears headed for a 1.1% fall this week after a 2% gain last week
◆ Gold looks set for a near 2% loss in September which will encourage bargain hunters buying on weakness; The dollar remains near multi-week highs despite poor U.S. economic data of late and the political turmoil in the U.S.
◆ Heightened risks from political tensions to the U.S-China. trade war are being ignored for now but are impacting the global economy and leading to  safe haven demand
◆ China’s net monthly gold imports via Hong Kong in August surged nearly 61%, after falling to their lowest in more than eight years in July, the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department data showed yesterday
◆ Gold and silver frequently see weakness at quarter end which continues in the very early part of the following quarter; we are likely seeing this again as large players “paint the tape” and hedge funds and banks take profits on their long positions
◆ Palladium is set for an eighth straight weekly gain and remains near all time record nominal highs; platinum is poised for its worst week in two months

福田擬建數字經濟示範區

文匯報

全球商報聯盟媒體高層深圳采風 金融科技開眼界 

香港文匯報訊 (記者 蔡競文)中央支持深圳建設中國特色社會主義先行示範區,令該市成為海內外媒體的焦點。全球商報聯盟媒體高層采風行近日在深圳市福田區啟動,據當地官員介紹,福田計劃建設金融科技大廈和內地首個徵信大廈,打造以法定數字貨幣研發、個人徵信體系建設為核心,上下游圍繞,全產業鏈的數字經濟先行示範區。

福田是深圳的中心城區和深圳市委市政府所在地,作為深圳行政、金融、科技、文化、商貿和國際交往中心,也是深圳高品質發展先鋒城區和高端產業集聚區。多家媒體近日走訪了位於福田區的平安金融中心和百行徵信有限公司。

聚焦提升中心城「四大功能」

在平安金融中心大廈會議室,福田區委常委、宣傳部長高大偉介紹了該區的發展概況。他指出,福田區充分發揮毗鄰香港、灣區核心的區位優勢和高端要素集聚等優勢,聚焦提升中心城區「四大功能」,着力打造國際金融、科技創新、文化教育、服務交流四大中心。尤其是金融產業,在深圳全市和廣東全省都佔有很大的比重。

事實上,福田區的多個金融科技公司近年來都發展迅速。據中國平安品牌部門相關負責人介紹,公司致力於成為國際領先的科技型個人金融生活服務集團,在「金融+科技」、「金融+生態」的戰略規劃指引下,公司將創新科技聚焦於大金融資產、大醫療健康兩大產業,深度應用於「金融服務、醫療健康、汽車服務、房產金融、城市服務」五大生態圈。

百行徵信有限公司總裁鄭先炳在另一場合透露,公司目前已成功研發並推出個人信用報告、特別關注名單和信息核驗平台三款個人徵信產品,並將於近期推出反欺詐產品、百行徵信APP、百行徵信個人信用評分等。截至8月末,公司已與1,071家機構達成了業務合作和信息共享意向。目前個人徵信生產系統採集借款人信用信息的人數逾7,140萬,信貸賬戶數逾1.12億個。

據了解,百行徵信是人民銀行批准設立的內地首家、也是目前唯一一家市場化個人徵信機構,由中國互聯網金融協會與芝麻信用、騰訊徵信、前海徵信、考拉徵信、鵬元徵信、中誠信徵信、中智誠徵信、華道徵信等8家市場機構共同發起組建。

金融業半年稅收逾六百億

最新統計顯示,2019年上半年,福田區金融業實現增加值675.81億元(人民幣,下同),佔生產總值33.0%,金融業稅收643.29億元,佔總稅收60.5%。該區落地了全國第一個金融科技載體「灣區國際金融科技城」,落戶了包括平安科技、招商金科兩大巨頭在內的一批金融科技企業,引進了首個金融科技加速器(平安雲加速器)。

未來大力發展綠色金融

展望未來,福田區將大力發展綠色金融,支持向央行申報成立「粵港澳大灣區綠色金融聯盟」,推動形成大灣區綠色金融網絡、綠色項目庫及聯席會議制度,秘書處將設立在福田區。同時,支持福田申報國家綠色金融改革創新試驗區,推進聯合國環境發展規劃署「全球金融中心城市綠色金融聯盟(FC4S)」下屬的綠色金融服務實體經濟實驗室落地。

穩中有序 人民幣國際化之路

文匯報

匯率由官方決定到市場決定

新中國成立70年來,從計劃經濟體制走向市場經濟體制,人民幣匯率作為貨幣的一種價格,也從由官方決定轉由市場供求決定。其間歷經四輪市場化取向的漸進改革,在成功解決匯率高估問題的基礎上實現人民幣穩中有升,避免了其他發展中國家面臨的匯率貶值慣性和貨幣危機困境。讓匯率主要由市場決定,協調好政府與市場作用,實行真正的有管理浮動,是中國近中期匯率機制改革方向。■香港文匯報記者海巖 北京報道

回顧人民幣匯率70年軌跡,人民幣匯率在建國初期計劃經濟時代只是外貿內部核算和編制計劃的工具,實行固定匯率制,由國家制定和嚴格管理。1978年改革開放後,為解決外匯短缺、國際收支持續惡化、外匯儲備下降的困難,逐步形成官方匯率和外匯調劑匯率並存的雙重匯率制度,市場供求開始對人民幣匯率發揮作用。

2005年改掛一籃子貨幣 

到1994年國內出現經濟過熱,匯率高估且套利空間巨大,人民幣匯率實現並軌,實行以市場供求為基礎、單一的、有管理的浮動匯率制。2005年官方宣佈開啟以市場供求為基礎、參考一籃子貨幣調節、有管理的浮動匯率制,人民幣不再盯住單一美元,逐步增大匯率波動幅度。2014年再推中間價形成機制改革,打開中間價「黑匣子」,讓市場在匯率形成中發揮決定性作用。

對外經濟貿易大學金融學院教授丁志傑接受香港文匯報訪問時認為,回顧人民幣匯率改革,市場化的取向和目標始終沒有改變,儘管由於複雜的國內外經濟金融形勢下,改革過程中出現走走停停,甚至有所反覆。同時,通過漸進式改革和積極管理,在不同時期設置不同的匯率穩定機制,令匯率有序調整,沒有出現大震盪。

發展中國家 罕有無慣性貶值 

中國亦是為數不多沒有發生貨幣危機的發展中國家。70年代布雷頓森林體系解體後,美元對包括人民幣在內19個新興市場國家貨幣匯率指數(OITP指數),從1973年1月的2.1287升至2018年8月的163.4462,美元對這19種貨幣升值幅度超過75倍,1997年至今20餘年OITP指數升幅也達63%。而人民幣同期走出相反軌跡,對美元整體處於升值態勢,1994年以來對美元升值最高超過42%,2005年以來升值最高超過35%,避免了其他發展中國家面臨的貨幣貶值慣性。

至於未來,丁志傑認為,真正的有管理浮動的匯率是適合中國國情的制度選擇。雖然中國從90年代開始一直宣佈人民幣實行「有管理的浮動匯率制度」,在不同時期賦予「有管理」不同內涵,但離真正的有管理浮動還有差距。

未來淡出匯率管理目標

按國際貨幣基金組織的界定,真正的有管理浮動屬於浮動匯率,匯率主要由市場決定,沒有公開的匯率管理目標,允許存在基於匯率穩定的政府干預。丁志傑認為,未來「參考一籃子貨幣進行調節」,這一公開的匯率管理目標有必要淡出或取消,逐步放鬆外匯市場套期保值或投機性交易,推進利率市場化等。未來人民幣有機會被更多亞洲國家選擇作為貨幣錨,成為與美元區、泛歐元區並列的人民幣區,在區域內輸出貨幣穩定和經濟發展紅利。

文匯報

外匯儲備作為一國經濟金融實力的標誌,建國70年來也經歷從短缺到快速增長,2014年達到3.99萬億美元高峰,並至今連續13年佔據全球最大外匯儲備國地位,與此同時,外匯儲備也常常充當影響人民幣匯率改革和貨幣政策的重要角色。

連續13年膺最大外匯儲備國 

1994年匯率改革的一個目標就是「增加儲備」,當時採取官方匯率貶值、出口退稅、經常項目可兌換等措施支持製造業和出口部門快速發展,也使得經常賬戶順差不斷擴大,外匯儲備快速增加,從1993年的212億美元增加到2005年8,188億美元,2006年首次突破萬億美元。

2005年中國宣佈人民幣匯率不再盯住單一美元後,人民幣兌美元進入升值通道,中國不得不在外匯市場大量買入美元,以緩和人民幣升值,但同時向社會釋放大量人民幣流動性,央行又通過公開市場操作、提高準備金率等對沖。其間,中國外匯儲備從2005年7月的7,330億美元增加到2014年6月的3.99萬億美元高峰。

2015年央行改革中間價形成機制,引發人民幣匯率持續貶值,資本外流風險加大,央行不得不動用外匯儲備,入市干預穩定匯率,外匯儲備逐步降至3萬億元左右。到2017年資本外流減少,外匯干預逐步減少,外匯儲備開始小幅回升,至今仍保持3萬億元以上。

國慶期間 小型客車行港珠澳橋免費7日

巴士的報

國慶期間使用港珠澳大橋人士注意。

運輸署發言人今日表示,根據港珠澳大橋管理局通知,由10月1日零時零分至10月7日午夜12時,港珠澳大橋將一連7日實施小型客車免費通行政策。

期間,小型客車經大橋收費站往返珠海或澳門口岸無須繳付150元人民幣的通行費,而有關車輛行經電子收費車道(不停車)及人工收費車道(須停車)的行車安排維持不變。

小型客車是指7座位及以下(包括司機)的載客車輛,即私家車及出租車。

大橋主橋位於內地水域,收費站亦位於內地範圍。根據屬地原則,負責營運大橋主橋的大橋管理局執行內地在國慶假期(10月1日至7日)期間免收小型客車通行費這項全國性政策。

發言人補充,如要駕駛私家車經大橋往返珠海或澳門,必須持有粵港澳政府發出的跨境私家車相關配額及牌證,或已辦理「大橋澳門口岸泊車轉乘計畫」的牌證及手續,包括已預約使用澳門口岸邊檢大樓東停車場。

亞幣走資不停 港股弱勢難止

信報財經新聞

面臨國會眾議院彈劾調查的美國總統特朗普,周三(25日)忽然樂觀地表示,與中國的貿易協議可能來得「較預期還要早」,加上市傳內地將購入更多美國農產品,刺激當天美股三大指數全面上揚。港股亦受帶動,恒指從周三挫逾300點的劣勢中反彈,昨天高開129點後,曾漲154點,但攀至26099點便轉跌,即使尾段又見買盤吸納,收市僅升96點(0.37%),報26041點,勉強收復二萬六關口。

恒指自9月13日觸及27366點後,迄今圖表上出現9支陰燭,繼上周連續5天「見紅」,本星期縱有兩天微彈,惟升幅加起來不足160點,埋單計數9個交易日中跌了7日,由高位累瀉1325點(4.8%)。

港股交投也相當淡靜,截至周四,9月日均成交金額大概770億元,按年下跌15.5%;對比8月的862.69億元,縮減10.8%,並是今年第二低月份(7月只有685.74億元),更是遠不及2018年日均成交金額約1068.89億元。

本欄早前強調,從經濟基本因素和技術走勢角度分析,港股前景難以樂觀;若觀察近日環球(特別是亞洲區內)資金流向,也反映中短線後市利淡。

根據追蹤港股的最大型ETF──美國掛牌的iShares MSCI香港(EWH)表現,海外投資者對港股始終偏向審慎。EWH在5月初資金逆轉為淨流出,恒指隨之顯著下滑。值得留意的是,雖然EWH股價近月已反彈,惟未見資金同步回流,僅是「走資」速度放緩,年初至今計算,離開錄得淨流入尚有很大差距;一旦資金外流又加快,港股前景只會更形黯淡。

另一方面,強勢美元亦為港股帶來壓力。美國聯儲局減息行動「落後大市」,使美滙指數過去一個月持續強勢,周三再度突破99關口,昨天亞洲時段仍然造好,於99水平徘徊。一如以往分析,強美元對新興市場(尤其是亞洲)貨幣來說並非吉兆,也不利恒指。

附【圖】所見,代表亞洲新興市場一籃子貨幣走勢的摩根大通亞洲貨幣指數(ADXY)連月來一浪低於一浪,意味在美元轉強下,資金續流出亞洲的跡象愈來愈明顯。恒指及ADXY過去兩年表現亦步亦趨,兩者相關系數達0.884的極高水平,而ADXY目前較2018年10月103.23還要低,即使ADXY未致大瀉,但恒指下試去年10月的24585點機會不容抹殺。

總括而言,中美貿易戰陰晴不定,全球經濟增長放慢風險難消,新興市場(主要是亞洲區內)正面對資金外流威脅,加劇港股沽壓,短線最多只有「弱彈」,投資者暫宜採取保守策略。

後市若要扭轉頹勢,或須資金顯著「回流」,這很大程度上繫於10月中美高級別經貿磋商有否明顯進展,以及本地示威衝突事件能否緩和下來,惟這兩項因素短期內仍然十分不明朗。

Hong Kong Hotels Slash Prices As Protests Deter Tourists: Cheapest Room Now Just $9

You may get hurt or arrested, when you are in the fighting area ! 


The local people will go North to Mainland to celebrate the Independent day of China !


www.zerohedge.com

Hong Kong was until very recently the world's most expensive housing market, featuring sky-high rents and cramped apartments as small as 100 square feet. But thanks to the pro-democracy protests that have disrupted the city-state's economy and ushered in a new wave of political uncertainty and chaos, many of Hong Kong's most critical industries have seen serious disruptions, especially tourism.

Earlier this month, Hong Kong's financial secretary revealed that tourism had plunged more than 40%  during the month of August, compared with August 2018, the biggest drop since the SARS epidemic of 2003.

As visitors dry up, hotels are being forced to slash rates to try and attract clientele. And some of these cuts have gotten pretty steep.

For example, a "new low" for a hotel booking has been spotted by the South China Morning Post: HK71 - or about $9. 

At that price, living in that hotel would be less expensive than one of the city's subdivided apartments.
At a new low of HK$71 (US$9.06) a night, some hotels are now cheaper than subdivided flats in the city. Winland 800 Hotel in protest-hit Tsing Yi, is offering that rate on weekdays through the Wing On Travel website. It represents a decline of 65.7 per cent from its lowest rate of HK$207 a night in March 2018.
In response, hoteliers and other business owners in the hospitality and tourism industry are asking the Hong Kong government for help in the form of rent and bank-loan interest waivers, arguing that their industries have been the hardest hit by the demonstrations. The city's Housing Authority has already cut rent for the city's retail tenants in public housing, while HSBC offered rebates on loans from small and medium-sized companies in the city that have been struggling because of the protests.

有網民昨統計,參與特首社區對話會發言的絕大部份是支持五大訴求的人士,支持政府人士佔極少數,而其中有一名紅衣女子受到網民關注,旋即被「起底」。這名女子發言時提到,現時社會撕裂,導致不少家庭因政見鬧翻,期望互相聆聽意見,而非以暴力方式解決。

她說示威者爭取的訴求並非全部無理,但去到闖入立法會後,手法「係唔係出現咗少少問題呢?」她指自己作為沉默大多數,期望政府和示威者雙方均能聽取意見,不應以暴力解決問題,而社會未來仍然是屬於年輕人。

有網民立即「起底」,指她與一名穿着警隊高級督察制服的女子容貌相似,質疑是休班警員?原來該女士曾經出任輔警,現時已經離職。

比特幣一晚大跌逾15% 孖展散戶炒家輸到懵

巴士的報

從9月25日凌晨2點45分起,比特幣在毫無徵兆的情況下大跌超過15%,盤中一度跌破8000美元關口,創下6月以來最低點7944美元。儘管報價後來已回升至8400美元水平,但已有大量孖展散戶在這場大跌中慘遭斬倉。

比特幣大跌,有報道指,內地超級散戶一夜損失數百萬以致數千萬元人民幣。原來以10倍以上槓桿炒賣者大不乏人,買漲比特幣的超級散戶今次差不多全軍覆沒。

食得鹹魚抵得渴,股神巴菲特已一早指出, Bitcoin價值是零。但看着這隻虛擬貨幣價錢大上大落,的確有不少人曾賺大錢。翻查圖表,2017年初由1000美元升至2017年底接近20,000美元,然後一直下跌至2018年底3000美元水平,然後又由今年初3000多美元,升至12,000美元,波幅驚人,實在吸眼球。

今次跌市元兇,有人認為是近期美國洲際交易所推出基於比特幣實物交割的比特幣期貨交易合約,導致大量持有比特幣的機構通過這款期貨產品進行沽空套期保值,導致市場拋售壓力激增,從而引發大跌。也有人認為,是俄羅斯數家虛擬貨幣交易所在25日凌晨突然湧現大量比特幣拋單,引發這場大跌。

此外,亦有指今次大跌,與其網絡算力(哈希率)驟降有關。據Coin.dance數據顯示,9月23日晚比特幣網絡哈希率突然從9800萬TH/S下降至5770萬TH/S,降幅達40%。市場猜測,部分國家監管部門可能對「挖礦」行為採取新的監管措施,引發資本拋售比特幣避險。

高槓桿投資永遠是高風險,香港不少散戶曾經栽在恒生指數期貨、期權、認股證及近年興起的牛熊證身上,覺得可以戰勝市場搵快錢,但真正做到的又有幾多人?

近日網上不時彈出譚詠麟校長的宣傳訊息(已被其本人否認),這些假做的內容主要是指有方法通過電腦程式自動買賣Bitcoin期貨,可以不費吹灰之力發達,吸引人去註冊,提供個人資料及信用卡資料。早前已被指有多達二千多人中計,個人信用卡資料外洩,隨時未見利潤,信用卡先被盜用,蒙受損失。光棍佬教仔,永遠無錯,邊有咁大隻蛤乸隨街跳,便宜莫貪呀!

反修例暴力示威勁比沙士肆虐 銅鑼灣魚蛋三寶小店捱不住要結業

巴士的報

自6月起的連串反修例風波對香港經濟的負面影響逐漸浮現,隨着示威者暴力行動不斷升級,內地旅行團和自由行旅客暴跌,大大影響旺區和旅客地區的餐飲、酒店及名店等相關行業,早前先有Prada 宣布,在銅鑼灣羅素街月租900萬的旗艦店,在明年六月租約期滿後,結束營業,業主旭日集團打算減租44%,再找新租客。

財政司司長陳茂波於網誌透露,8月訪港旅客較去年同期急跌近四成,旅客人數減少近240萬,業界8成人無工開。單月經濟損失高達120億元。「十一國慶黃金周」快將來臨,但旅遊業界人士預測香港前景並不樂觀,他們表示,現時酒店「十室九空」,入住率跌至僅一成,形容此次災難猶如十級大地震。網上資料顯示,現時預訂國慶期間的酒店,平均只是400元一晚。
踏入8月,對餐飲服務業打擊更趨明顯,有業內人士指,9月全港食肆生意「急轉直下」,生意最少下跌五成!

有見慣風浪的老香港話,在香港生活了大半世,經歷股災、沙士及金融風暴,未見依家飲食業咁慘淡,就係連廉價魚旦檔都做唔住。佢話在銅鑼灣有兩夫婦經營的小店,專賣魚蛋及三寶等小食,這裡小食原來係內地遊客來港「掃街」的必然節目之一,遊客每張單消費動輒50港元。經營此等小店,風光時候,可以細細聲發大財,但近月生意暴跌一半以上,業主雖然願意減租,但減幅有限,這對夫婦衡量過成本支出及生意情況,結論是看不到前景,經營多年的小店也決定結業。

暴力示威者以「攬炒」香港為目的,已嚴重打擊經濟以及市民的生計,連賣魚蛋的小店也頂不住,再這樣拖下去,真不知如何收科。

港澳辦強烈譴責、堅決反對,美國會參眾兩院外委會通過「2019年香港人權與民主法案」。

港澳辦發表聲明,指美國國會參眾兩院外委會不顧中國人民的強烈反對,通過了由部分議員提出的所謂「2019年香港人權與民主法案」,是粗暴干涉中國內政、嚴重踐踏國際法和國際關係基本準則。港澳辦強烈譴責、堅決反對。

聲明指,香港是中國的香港,香港特別行政區的事務純屬中國內政,任何外部勢力不得干涉。任何危害中國國家主權安全、挑戰中央權力和基本法權威、利用香港對內地進行滲透破壞的活動,都是對「一國兩制」底線的挑戰,不管來自何方,都是包括廣大香港同胞在內的全體中國人民不能允許的。

聲明又說,香港回歸以來,「一國兩制」、「港人治港」、高度自治方針得到貫徹落實,香港居民享有的各項權利和自由依法得到充分保障,「一國兩制」實踐在香港取得的成功舉世公認。在中國中央政府的大力支持下,香港保持自由港和單獨關稅區地位,在經濟、貿易、金融、航運、通訊、旅遊、文化、體育等領域以「中國香港」名義,單獨地同世界各國、各地區及有關國際組織保持和發展關係,簽訂和履行有關協議。這些都是任何不帶偏見的人所公認的客觀事實,是對華抱有敵視態度的極少數人所詆毀不了的。

聲明表示,香港是美國的主要交易夥伴之一。保持香港的長期繁榮穩定,符合包括美方在內的世界各國利益。美國國會及一些政客以人權與民主為幌子,通過所謂「2019年香港民主與人權法案」,目的是為反中亂港勢力和少數暴徒打氣撐腰,為香港的亂局火上加油。這將嚴重傷害中美關係,對美國自身也沒有任何好處。

聲明強調,香港一小撮反中亂港分子四處乞求外部勢力干涉,背叛國家,出賣香港利益,他們叛國禍港的行徑,必將遭到廣大愛國愛港人士唾棄,被永遠釘在歷史的恥辱柱上。

港澳辦強烈敦促美國國會及一些政客停止粗暴干涉香港事務,少做破壞中美關係大局的事,多做有利於兩國長遠發展和根本利益的事。

Von Greyerz: "Whole Financial System Disappearing Into Black Hole"

Martin Amstrong 預測的2032年大洗牌........


www.zerohedge.com

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,

Financial and precious metals expert Egon von Greyerz (EvG) says the signs abound that we are nearing the end of this global fiat money experiment while central bankers are befuddled.

EvG explains, “The central banks are panicking..."

"They don’t know what to do anymore. They are just starting to print money and with the euro on a daily basis...
Europe is starting QE again with $20 billion a month, but that’s nothing compared to what is coming. . . . The panic that started with central banks in the summer in late July and August was, to me, the first step towards total chaos in the world that we will be seeing in the months and years to come.  They (central bankers) see it clearly.
They know the banking system is absolutely on the verge of collapse.  They know Deutsche Bank (DB) and CommerzBank, too, are down 95%.  If you show this chart to a child and ask where is that likely to go, it is likely to go to zero. DB, with their $50 trillion in derivatives, there is no chance they will survive. Of course, Germany and the ECB is panicking because that will affect the whole banking system worldwide.  This is why they have started to print money now because there is a massive liquidity problem, and that’s Germany, which is the best country in the EU from the point of economics.  Then you take Italy, Spain, France and Greece and they are in a real mess. 
This is why the whole system is on the verge of disappearing into a black hole... With the U.S., there is massive liquidity pressure there too.
The massive amount of money printing to keep the fiat system afloat is just starting.  EvG contends, “This is just a practice round..."
"  This is just more money at this point.  The balance sheet . . . of the Fed is going to go from around $4 trillion to $40 trillion.  It is going to go to $100 trillion before this is over. So, right now, they are just practicing a bit because they are going to put the pedal down to the bottom very soon...
There is no other way to save this system, it has gone too far. I am not a pessimist. I don’t want to see the end of the world, but you can see their actions. You can see that now there is absolutely no way out. The only thing they know is to print money. They have already reduced rates to zero or negative, which is a disaster in and of itself.”
EvG predicts, “All of these bubble assets that are based on just credit and credit expansion are going to implode measured in real terms, measured in gold."

"I expect the stock market and the property market to lose at least 95% or more in real terms. . . . The next up cycle for gold (and silver) has started. The next phase of this market has started, and it is going to go on for a long, long time. It is going to go to levels that will be hard to believe today. . . .The world cannot have solid growth until this debt has imploded . . . the transition will be terrible, but I don’t see any other solution to this...
The debt can only be wiped out by also wiping out all the asset values. You can’t just make the debt disappear and have the assets stand there at the values that they are today. . . . When this debt is written off or implodes, or whatever they want to call it, that means all these assets are going to go down. That’s why I am saying it is going to go down 95% against gold. There is absolutely no other way, in my view.” 

RED ALERT -- The Fed to Dump $53 Billion PER DAY Into Repo Market Until Oct. 10th

financearmageddon.blogspot.com

The Federal Reserve conducted a repurchase operation involving $53 billion worth of various debt instruments as it seeks to control the level of its benchmark interest rate. It was the first such move in a decade. So, it took a decade for the banks to blow through trillions of dollars on hookers and blow and other mal-investment. Today the junkie is looking for his next fix, it only took $53 Billion to calm him down.

The “repo” move, comes a day after market turmoil in which rates spiked at record levels and worries grew that the Fed was losing control of its benchmark rate. The repo markets serve as short-term plumbing that runs the financial market’s operating systems. In extreme cases, breakdowns can lead to financial crises such as the one that engulfed Wall Street in 2008 when overnight lending dried up between big Wall Street institutions. Banks and Banksters get free money, we have to go to work for our money .

And for those wondering why the Fed did a repo, the answer is simple: it did not want to launch QE just yet. But make no mistake, once repo is insufficient, the Fed will have no choice but to escalate to the next step which is open market purchases. Which brings us to the bigger question of how long such overnight repos will satisfy the market, and how long before the next repo rate spike prompts the Fed to do the inevitable, and restart QE. Apparently they can't print enough to solve Triffin dilemma. That is why rehypothecation and repo exist.

Going back to a gold standard would eliminate millions of useless banking jobs ( and military supplier jobs too. it will be the greatest QE ever! Much better than Obama's QEs. and we'll have rate cuts. the most beautiful rate cuts and QE you have ever seen for the greatest economy in the history of mankind ,or even longer. And so it begins . This is the first step toward an ever increasing series of desperate measures by the FED and the major banks ,the FED's owners , to stave off the consequences of their market manipulations (e.g. theft, fraud, racketeering) over the past 12 years (and more).

Expect it all, ZIRP, NIRP, whatever they can think of. In 30 minutes they printed an amount of currency actually able to buy all the existent investable physical silver. That's the craziness of present times. I keep imagining that this is the first small leak in a temporary dam that has been holding back way too much water for way too long ,the deluge is surely coming. This could be the first dribble of water flowing out of the crack in the damn of our Financial system.

I also remember the FED saying, very recently, all the banks were in great shape after doing some type of liquidity test Actually, via US Dollar Reserve Currency status, every country with a Reserve Bank is fucked. Repo ripples will be tectonic across all countries, unfortunately, not all reserve banks have the reserves or ability to print to infinity.

Our inflation levels are already through the roof. By exporting US inflation relentlessly to the world via exchange rate manipulations, weaker currencies and economies will fall first. Going to be a hell of a week . Make debt great again!

By the time I finished this video, the national debt increased a few billion. Just throw it on the pile as it will never be repaid so just run up the bar tab while you can.

北京大興機場採人臉辨識系統 「一張臉走遍機場」

巴士的報

旅客不用出示任何證件、紙質或電子登機牌,直接「刷臉」即可登機。

在經歷7次綜合模擬演練、3場驗證試飛之後,北京大興國際機場今日正式開幕營運。據悉,自首航當天起,中國聯合航空將從北京南苑機場完全轉場至大興機場,南苑民航機場也將隨之關閉;在2019年冬春航季開始前,北京大興國際機場由中聯航獨家營運,日均航班量130多班,航線80多條。

北京大興國際機場位於北京市大興區榆垡鎮、禮賢鎮和河北省廊坊市廣陽區的交界處;按直線距離計算,距離天安門46公里,距離首都國際機場67公里,是目前世界上唯一的一座雙進雙出航廈。

過往乘客辦理乘機手續都要耗費大量時間,不過在北京大興國際機場,每個環節的設計都爲了讓旅客更加便利。北京大興國際機場採用集中式「多指廊」結構,放射狀的形式讓旅客從航廈中心到最遠端登機口步行距離不超過600米,步行時間僅需不到8分鐘,有效解決路程過長問題。

此外,機場最大的特點就是人臉辨識系統,旅客不用出示任何證件、紙質或電子登機牌,直接「刷臉」即可登機;除了刷臉這項新技術外,大興國際機場也將首試自助託運、首次採用行李實時定位跟蹤系統。東航信息部副總經理馮勁松表示,東航在北京大興國際機場推出基於5G網路的智慧出行集成服務系統,包括「一張臉走遍機場、一張網智能體驗、一顆芯行李管控」。

而今日首班航機為南方航空飛抵廣州的航班,機票開賣後就立刻被搶購一空;另外,為了讓北京大興機場、首都機場客流量平衡,因此按照航空公司的聯盟做區分,包含東方航空、南方航空等天合聯盟(SkyTeam)的成員將轉移至新機場,而中國國航所屬的星空聯盟(Star Alliance),預計會繼續停駐首都機場。

機場的對外交通也是民眾關注的焦點,大興機場營運後,地鐵「大興機場線」也將同步開通,總共只停靠3個站,從北京三環的草橋上車,經過大興新城抵達機場,全程只要19分鐘,運營時間爲早上6點至晚間10點30分。根據航班情況,高峰時段(上午7時至9時,下午3時至7時)發車間隔8分30秒,其他時段發車間隔10分鐘,全天運行時間不少於16.5小時。

【經濟衰退?】亞開行調低本港經濟增長預測

NOW財經

【Now新聞台】亞洲開發銀行下調中港及區內經濟增長預測。

該行指出,受中美貿易戰及本地的社會形勢影響,將今明兩年香港經濟增長預測由2.5%,分別降至0.3%及1.5%;對中國今明兩年的經濟預測分別下調0.1個百分點,但預期經濟增長仍能「保六」。

另外,亞開行亦下調45個亞洲發展中國家的今明兩年經濟增速預測至5.4%及5.5%。

亞開行表示,下調亞洲地區經濟增速預測反映中美貿易戰衝突升級貿易前景令人憂慮。亞開行又指,雖然亞洲的發展中國家經濟增長仍然強勁,但隨著貿易及投資勢頭減弱,各經濟體面臨的風險不斷增加,地區增長前景黯淡。

新世界捐出300萬呎農地建屋 鄭志剛稱為承擔社會責任

星島日報

新世界發展執行副主席鄭志剛今日於業績會上宣佈,將會捐出300萬呎農地,包括給政府興建公屋及相關設施、社企或其他慈善團體等。鄭志剛解釋,集團未來需向不同持份者負責,承擔更多的社會責任,而非單考慮股東。他表示,期望紓緩社會上的房屋問題,今次捐地與《收回土地條例》無關。

新世界發展去年度業績報告顯示,截至6月底,集團在香港持有應佔總樓面面積約910萬平方呎的土地儲備可作即時發展,其中物業發展總樓面面積約420萬平方呎。

集團又指,於新界持有合共約1690萬平方呎待更改用途之應佔農地土地面積。集團指,正積極就8個分別位於元朗及粉嶺,總樓面面積約180萬平方呎的項目與當局就轉換用途進行磋商,其中約50萬平方呎總樓面面積已進入最後階段。

Dash-For-Cash Ahead Of The Next Market Crash: Ultra Rich Prepare For Economic Storm

2020年會差過 2019年 ?


www.zerohedge.com

We have described, in the last several days, a fascinating trend that is developing: the dash for cash ahead of the next market crash.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) warned over the weekend about an imminent financial crisis, while it was reported on Monday that billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer is building cash to take advantage of opportunities after the next crisis. On Tuesday morning, we noted how 200 institutions that manage a combined $4.1 trillion in assets, are becoming increasingly bearish ahead of 2020. Now Bloomberg is reporting that family offices around the world are stockpiling cash ahead of a market meltdown.

Bloomberg spoke with Rick Stone, a former partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, who sees economic storm clouds ahead, if not already here.

Stone warned about low bond market returns over the next decade. He said equity markets would crash and then go flat, and said venture capital and private equity money would continue the hunt for yield in very few opportunities.
Stone currently runs the Palm Beach Investment Research Group, a network of 35 family offices in Palm Beach, Florida. “The areas to invest in are fewer, and there is a lot of money looking for those spaces,” he said.

The bearish macro view shared by the family offices in South Florida is also shared by 360 global single- and multi-family offices surveyed in the 2019 UBS Global Family Office Report, which was conducted in conjunction with Campden Research and published Monday, Bloomberg said.

The survey said most family offices expect the global economy to tumble into a recession by 2020, with the most doom and gloom in emerging markets. About 42% of family offices around the world were quickly building cash by late summer ahead of an economic downturn.

“There’s more caution and fear of the public equity markets among ultra-high-net-worth investors,” said Timothy O’Hara, president of Rockefeller Global Family Office. “That has more people thinking about private investments, alternative investments or cash.”

Campden said the family offices in the UBS survey had $917 million under management. The survey was conducted between February and March.

Most offices had 5.4% returns over the 12 months before taking the survey, with disappointing returns in developed markets (2.1%) and significant returns in Asia-Pacific and emerging markets regions (6.2%). North America yielded 5.9% returns, and Europe was 4.3%.

And we wonder why family offices around the world are building cash? Maybe because the twilight period of global equities is coming to an end, and a growth scare could be imminent (remember fall of 2018?).

Trump To UN: The Future Does Not Belong To Globalists

www.zerohedge.com

Authored by Graham Noble via LibertyNation.com,

President Donald Trump delivered a measured speech to the United Nations General Assembly this morning. Ever the showman who usually likes to go off-script, Trump was almost painfully presidential – the UN, after all, is not the forum for off-the-cuff remarks. The speech was wide-ranging, but the overriding theme was the importance of national pride and sovereignty to every country. “The future,” Trump told the assembly, “does not belong to globalists.”

In addition to providing an overview of America’s foreign policy challenges, the president berated China for its unfair trade practices and its violation of obligations made to the people of Hong Kong. He called for the empowerment of women and for the rights of the LGBT community to be protected.

Adversaries Singled Out

Taking aim at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for admitting China, Trump pointed out that 60,000 American factories have closed since China became a member-state.
“The World Trade Organization needs drastic change,” the president said. “The second-largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country in order to game the system at others’ expense.”
Trump also singled out the governments of Iran and Venezuela. Of the former, the president made it clear that US sanctions would not be lifted while the Iranian government continues its aggressive behavior. At the same time, the US leader expressed sympathy and support for the Iranian people. Such a distinction is important.

Of Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolas Maduro – whose role as that country’s legitimate leader is now in dispute – Trump said: “[He] is a Cuban puppet, protected by Cuban bodyguards, hiding from his own people while Cuba plunders Venezuela’s oil wealth to sustain its own corrupt communist rule.”
Expanding on the issue of the Venezuelan government’s catastrophic political and economic policies, Trump warned that “one of the most serious challenges our countries face is the spectrum of socialism,” which he described as “the wrecker of nations and destroyer of societies.”

The Injustice Of Illegal Mass Migration

The president also devoted part of his address to the issue of mass illegal immigration. Acknowledging that this was not just an American problem but a global one, Trump told the gathering that every country has the right to secure its own borders. He had a direct message, though, for open-borders activists whom he accused of cloaking themselves “in the rhetoric of social justice”:
“Your policies are not just. Your policies are cruel and evil. You are empowering criminal organizations that prey on innocent men, women, and children. You put your own false sense of virtue before the lives, well-being in [sic] countless innocent people.”
It is indeed ironic that the same people who champion the alleged right of people from Central America to flow unchecked into the United States also feign concern for the economic deprivation that exists in those countries from which these migrants are coming. Trump made the counterpoint in succinct fashion:
“[T]hese nations cannot reach their potential if a generation of youth abandon their homes in search of a life elsewhere.”

A Jab At Domestic US Politics

In a continuation of the anti-globalist, sovereign-nations theme, Trump warned against totalitarianism and the erosion of democracy and individual freedoms. “We must always be skeptical of those who want conformity and control,” he told the assembly. “Even in free nations, we see alarming signs and new challenges to liberty.”

In what seemed to be a thinly veiled reference to the efforts of Democrats and left-wing activists in the US to reverse the result of the 2016 presidential election, the Commander-in-Chief went on:
“A permanent political class is openly disdainful, dismissive, and defiant of the will of the people.”
He was not done. Though it would have been entirely inappropriate to openly call out his political opponents, Trump dwelt on the topic while presenting it as a problem faced by all free nations – which, in fact, it is:
“A faceless bureaucracy operates in secret and weakens democratic rule. Media and academic institutions push flat-out assaults on our histories, traditions, and values … a free society must not allow social media giants to silence the voices of the people and a free people must never, ever be enlisted in the cause of silencing, coercing, canceling, or blacklisting their own neighbors.”
Still on the subject of individual liberty, the president also warned the UN that Americans would not be deprived of their Second Amendment rights: “There is no circumstance,” he warned, “under which the United States will allow international actors to trample on the rights of our citizens, including the right to self-defense.” To emphasize the point, the president reminded the assembly that America would not ratify the UN Arms Trade Treaty.

To close his address, the president delivered to the gathered world leaders and ambassadors a message of unity, peace, and recognition that, like the US, every country in the world should, first and foremost, act in the interests of its own people. “Lift up your nations,” he told them, “cherish your culture, honor your histories, treasure your citizens, make your country strong and prosperous and righteous. Honor the dignity of your people and nothing will be outside of your reach.”

Liquidity Crisis

把錢存去外國銀行的人要小心啦, 因為大眾在囤積美現鈔, 搞到美元現金流短缺.......小心攬炒...........

COMMENT:

Marty, you have made many unbelievable forecasts in so many markets around the world. But your forecast that we would see a liquidity crisis after Labor Day and dollar hoarding is at the top of the list. There is nobody who saw this coming. Your computer can see things nobody can. Looking forward to Orlando this year. Two more board members are coming because of this forecast.

Amazing!
PVB

REPLY: 

This is what I have been saying. You cannot forecast something you have never witnessed and has not taken place ever before. It takes a computer with a vast database to see things unfold according to historical patterns, but in markets that never existed before.

We have a liquidity crisis unfolding because of massive uncertainty. In October, Draghi leaves and Lagarde enters who believes the answer is to eliminate cash. This is causing dollar hoarding and there are more $100 bills in circulation now with 70% of the physical money supply being hoarded OUTSIDE the USA. Even Australia is hunting money aggressively. They are even proposing nano-chips in $50 bills and up to be able to track hoarding. So smart Australian’s won’t hoard A$ – they will use foreign currencies. Dah?

I mean what I say that the central banks are TRAPPED!!!!! People have NO IDEA what we face. The system is unraveling but not even those in government have understood how it was interwoven to begin with. This is all part of how we are headed into a major Monetary Crisis Cycle and I fear they will misunderstand it once again and create more stupid laws that will bring the entire house of cards down by the time we reach 2032.

If you just play out what has taken place in socialism, there will be $400 trillion of unfunded liabilities by the time we get to 2032. That cannot be dealt with and I suspect we will see more authoritarian usurpation down the line.  This is also why I have stated, my fear is NOT Trump, it is what comes AFTER Trump!

Governments have functioned on vote for me and I will rob someone else for you legally with a pen. This is how ALL Republics die. The very purpose of civilization was that coming together created a synergy that was beneficial for all. When government has always turned against one class for the benefit of another, the purpose of civilization ceases to exist and you revert back to separatism. Read Atlas Shrugged. When that was published, all the socialists hated it.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.” 

日消費稅加至10% 外賣堂食不同價引混亂

文匯報

10月1日起生效 商戶旅客叫苦 

日本的消費稅將於10月1日起,從目前的8%上調至10%,鑑於2014年消費稅率從5%加至8%時經濟大受打擊,當局今次於是同時推出多項紓困措施,包括暫緩大部分食品的加稅,不過由於食肆堂食不獲豁免,因此10月1日起將會出現同一樣食品,堂食及外賣稅率不同的情況,令民眾及旅客都感到混亂,食肆老闆更是叫苦連天。

日本自1989年4月起實施消費稅,初期稅率為3%,後來25年間只加過一次,就是在1997年4月加至5%。為應對人口老化導致福利開支增加,日本政府在2012年決定分兩階段大幅提升消費稅率至10%,其中首階段已在2014年4月實施,由5%加至8%;第二階段原定於2015年10月實施,但其後因為政治(選舉)及經濟等因素而多次押後,最終落實於2019年10月1日,將消費稅率由8%提升至10%。

為減少加稅對日常生活開支的影響,日本政府首次採取歐洲國家常見的「輕減稅率」制度,對不同消費品設定不同稅率。簡單而言,日本「輕減稅率」制度規定除了酒類以外所有食物飲品,以及每周發行日兩日或以上的報章,都可以在10月1日之後維持8%消費稅率,措施暫未有實施期限。

食物送贈品計法又不同

不過「輕減稅率」具體執行上卻非常複雜,就食物飲品而言,在超市、便利店、菜檔或魚檔等店舖購買的預先包裝食品、加工食品、新鮮食材或送禮用食品,不論價格高低,基本上都會維持8%稅率;不過如果是組合商品,例如紅茶加紅茶杯、附送玩具的食品玩具等,則要視乎價格而定,若組合商品售價在1萬日圓(約728港元)以下而且組合內食物佔價值2/3以上時,可歸類為食品,稅率維持8%,否則將要徵收10%新稅率。

食肆的情況則更複雜,消費稅率上調後,食肆內堂食消費一律按10%消費稅率計算,但如果外賣則維持8%。例如在快餐店點漢堡包,如果留在店內進食需要交10%稅,但如果行出店外或拿回家吃則只需8%。這規定同樣適用於便利店,如果在便利店購買任何食品但在店內提供的桌椅進食,便會當堂食計收10%稅,即場帶走則按8%計。

小店停外賣 吉野家分別標價 

「輕減稅率」不但增加食肆收銀負擔,更會產生不少灰色地帶,例如可能會有顧客在快餐店要求外賣後卻坐下來堂食,有機會引起爭拗。為免引起麻煩,部分小店決定暫停外賣服務,一些大型連鎖快餐店則決定調整外賣及堂食稅前售價,令兩者稅後價格統一,不過像星巴克和吉野家等,則決定分別標價。

報章獲得8%「輕減稅率」也有條件,必須每星期發行兩日或以上,而且只限於訂閱收費,意味在報攤或便利店單次購買即日報紙的話,仍要支付10%消費稅。

深圳白石洲拆遷 網傳誕生1878個億萬富翁

星島日報

近日,深圳最著名的城中村、深圳白石洲的拆除重建引起了關注。這次要拆遷的包括上白石、下白石等4個自然村,外來人口佔了絕大多數。據悉此次拆遷涉及1878戶,平均物業面積5、600㎡,部分居民拆遷面積超過1000㎡,按照1:1.03的拆遷補償標準,房產價格基本超過千萬。白石洲實業股份合作公司董事長池偉琪則指1878戶是本地村民的總數,一千多個億萬富翁一夜誕生是不可能發生。

白石洲橫跨深南大道,緊鄰世界之窗、深圳灣公園,可以說白石洲的存在是神奇又「不應該」的,只是因為歷史遺留問題遲遲未解決。據悉現在的補償方案是1:1.03,白石洲目前的二手房按電梯樓、樓梯樓區分,單價6.5萬/㎡-7.5萬/㎡,而小資家顯示周邊華僑城的房價已經達到10萬/㎡。

從6月開始,不少房東開始通知租客:本村的城市更新工作已經正式啟動,請在9月底之前結清租金和水電費搬離本樓。開始清租,也意味著等了14年的白石洲的拆遷正在加速,白石洲終於要拆除重建了。

2018年12月28,深圳市規劃國土委正式通過了《南山區沙河街道沙河五村城市更新單元規劃》。隨後,白石洲將誕生1878個億萬富翁的消息在網絡上流傳。

據當地一位已經簽約的村民透露,他家的拆遷面積在1200平方米左右,按照1:1.03的補償標準,拆遷後將得到15套回遷房,其中7套是公寓。

根據當地一名房地產工作人員的介紹,白石洲目前的二手房按樓梯房、電梯房區分,每平方米單價在65000~75000元之間,而周邊華僑城的房價則在10萬元左右。

以7萬一方來算,該村民1200方的拆遷面積總價值達到8400萬,如果以華僑城10萬一方的均價計算,該村民的拆遷面積總價值達到1億2千萬,妥妥的億萬富翁。而且,這只是現在的價格,並不是回遷後的價格。

此外,房東還會得到租金補償和搬遷費。當地房東陳輝文說「房東一旦簽約,開發商每個月都會按照平方數以一定的租金補償給房東,另外還向房東提供一筆搬遷費,這樣算下來並不比簽約前的租金少,所以最近簽約的房東數量增長得比較快。」

真的會產生1878個億萬富翁嗎?白石洲實業股份合作公司董事長池偉琪說,像上述村民這樣的「大戶」並不多。1878戶是本地村民的總數,當地家庭的平均物業面積在五六百平米,面積超過1000平方米以上的村民不會超過20%,一夜誕生上千個億萬富翁的說法並不能成立。

巴布亞省暴力示威致至少27人死亡 3人遭警察擊斃

星島日報

動盪不安的印尼巴布亞省傳有老師侮辱一名原住民學生是猴子,激發數以百計民眾抗議,示威者縱火焚燒政府建築與車輛。瓦梅納市和省首府查亞普拉分別有暴力事件,周一合共有至少27人死亡,其中3人遭警察擊斃。

巴布亞省警察首長羅德佳說,一群憤怒的暴民朝地方政府建築、商店、民宅縱火,並在通往瓦梅納市(Wamena)地區首長辦公室的幾條道路上,沿途放火燒毀汽車與電單車。機場官員哈加尼說,這場抗議迫使當局關閉瓦梅納市機場,直到局勢恢復正常。瓦梅納市至少有23人死亡,約65名平名受傷。死者包括16名平民,當中13人來自印尼其他省分,大多數是因受困於起火民宅或商店而身亡。

羅德佳表示,這宗抗議起因於上周傳出有一名來自外省的瓦梅納市高中老師,指稱一名巴布亞原住民學生是「猴子」。他說,警方調查結果沒有發現針對學生種族歧視的證據,但假謠言已在其他學校與原住民社區的學生口中傳開。他說:「我們認為這個假謠言是刻意用來引發騷動。這是一場騙局,我呼籲巴布亞省民眾不要跟著假消息起舞。」

另外,在巴布亞省首府查亞普拉,據報一群學生用砍刀和石頭襲擊士兵和警察,引發另一場抗議活動。混亂中至少有4人死亡,分別是一名軍人與三名平民,另有5名警員重傷。巴布亞省原住民與印尼維安部隊間的衝突在貧困的巴布亞地區司空見慣,巴布亞是前荷蘭殖民地,位於新畿內亞島,在種族與文化上都與印尼多數地區有明顯不同。

巴布亞是在舉行經由聯合國認可的投票後,於1969年納入印尼版圖,而各界普遍認為這是場騙局。從那時起,低層級的叛亂活動開始在巴布亞地區醞釀。富含礦物的巴布亞地區有兩個省分,分別是巴布亞省與西巴布亞省。最近幾年,一些巴布亞學生發聲呼籲讓巴布亞省自決,其中包括在其他省分就讀的學生。

Chinese Firms Dump $40 Billion In Global Assets, Turn Net Seller For First Time In Decades

中國經濟唔好 ?


全世界倍葬...............


www.zerohedge.com

At the behest of the Communist Party leadership, Chinese conglomerates and investor groups have this year transformed from sometimes overeager spree buyers of foreign companies, real estate, and art, into net sellers of global assets for the first time since Chinese companies became big-time players on the global stage about a decade ago, the FT reports.

The shift comes as the Communist Party tries to tamp down on capital outflows as China's economy weakens with reports suggesting that Beijing could report economic growth below 6% for 2019 and 2020.

Chinese companies have agreed to sell about $40 billion in overseas assets so far this year, up from $32 billion for the whole of last year, according to data from Dealogic. At the same time, Chinese groups have bought just $35 billion of overseas assets this year, making the country a global net seller.

Divestments in the US, where Chinese corporate buyers are now viewed with increased scrutiny, have soared to over $26 billion this year, up from just $8 billion for all of 2018.
The data from Dealogic goes back to 2015, when Chinese companies bought about $100 billion in overseas assets while selling only $10 billion to foreign buyers. However, an FT analysis of Dealogic’s data indicates that China has been a net buyer of overseas assets since at least 2009.
Many of the Chinese-owned assets hitting the market this year were purchased in 2016, the peak of Chinese firms' off-shore shopping spree. That year, Chinese companies struck more than $200 billion in overseas deals, while taking on extremely high levels of debt.
"There was a crescendo of outbound Chinese deals - a few that lacked industrial logic," said Raghu Narain, Asia Pacific head of investment banking at Natixis. "The deals that were either funded by too much debt, lacking logic or subsequent actual synergies are unwinding now."
Two of the most high-profile Chinese acquirers during the boom have become the biggest sellers at the behest of their overlords in Beijing.
