The china daily says fluctuationsf the china normal and the i headlin in english as well as chinese. The message is as important for the National Audience as well as international. Beijing would be worried about a repeat of 201516. So the message seemed that chi would stick to its pledge to stabilize the yuan. But theutrity daily had a few words for the Trump Administration regarding the currency beingel l a manipulator. The bank called the u. S. Move unilateral protectionist havior that violates international rules. The bank pointed out china doesnt meet the u. S. s three criteria for the label. Secretary mnuchen said the u. S. Will engage in conversations with T International monetar fund as part of the process to, quote, eliminate the unfair competitive advantage of chinai acs. The central bank addressed that too, saying the imf believes the Yuan Exchange Rate is generally in line with fundamentals. So from beijings perspective the evidence is in chinas favor.

China announced it would suspend u. S. Agricultural purchases but there is room to reach a compromise. Im eunice yoon in beijing.

In a tweet this morning, trump claimed tha massive amounts of money from china and other parts of the world are pouring in to the united states. He id, we are in a very strong position and that companies are also coming u to the. In big numbers. But economists point out that tariffs on chinese goods are paid by arican businesses, and kudlow t acknowledgeay that a weaker yuan and a stronger dollar can mitigate thes. Co now, ironically that actually lowers prices. That takes the pressure off any Consumer Price increases at home, but it is the wrong way to do it. That abrogates a l of pledges and promises. After all, if china keeps devaluing itscurrency, then money is justw going to fut of there. It has already started. Reporter but former ambassador to china, gary locke, warned that nobody wins in a trade war and consumers could be the biggest all of the tariffs in place already are costing american households anywhere from 800 to over 1,000 per year.

For nightly Business Report, im ylan mui in washington. We dont have to tell you that the recent trade war fears over theast week created some wild swings in the market. What does a rtoail inv do about all of this with their portfolio in back with us, j. J. Kennehan the chief strategist. Usually the smart money dosays, t overreact, this too shall oss. More voices wall street have been saying this may not pass for a while, so what is anve or to do with this . It is interesting, bill. If we loo at our clients activity over the last couple of months i would agree, first of all donton panic. Of the things we have seen is our clients pare back on equities and go more towards fixed ieyome. E been net buyers of product, but theyve actually been next sellers of equity two months in a row. The stock leading the way,bill, ybe to your surprise is apple. Then we have facebook and amazon. So the fang stocks have certainly go from so envogue a year ago to ones where people re taking some profits right no as i say, going in the fixed income, but theyre going in the short duration fixed income, most of it under six months. Because to your point, i think a lot of people think it will last at least through the end of the year, but they want to have money rea t ifs is settled. Theyre not taking off all of their investments, t butyre certainly paring back some risk where they see some existing. Reght. Andou hearing from your clients and would you recommend to our viewers who have a longterm time horizon perhaps to put up a list, make a list of the stocks you have always wanted to add to your portfolio but perhaps theyve been too thpensive . Ik, sue, thats a great point. Yes, we have heard from our clients. But i think it is more at the top of the show bob did a great epiecelaining what this sort of means in terms of a devaluation. Most ofts our cli just explain to me what this actually means. So it hasnt been a panic phone call, which i think is it is people just trying to understand. To your point, sue, if you look at our mix at td ameritrade, we have a lot of clients who are orter termtraders, who trade a lot of derivatives. I would say to those watching the show, look at stocks you want to own. Dont make the mistake of going all in at this time. Maybe you buy a portion of a stock you had your eye on for a while. Stocks have come off a bit. That gives you some opportunithe but one message i think to really take away from, you know, what we are seeing is this lasted longer than people think. You know, theres n reason t believe that the end is near so to speak. Thisroay be anged cycle. So no matter what you do looking you know, just finishing earnings season, looking at the earnings, what are the companies that you want to buy saying about this or are they largely avoauing it b this is the largest issue we have right now in the marke j. J. Kinnehan with td ameritrade. Thanks for joining ustonight. Always a pleasure. Thanks, guys. Now that the trade tensions have indeed escalated, wall street is expecting theeederal reseo take action and cut Interest Rates again, but just how many cuts does the street want . Steve liesman takes a look. Reporter in the wake of the tariff t president and renewed worries about a currency war between the u. S. And china, markets are now more aggressive in pricing in the idea that the fed comes to the rescue anduts Interest Rates this year. The fed funds future market trading with a 74 probability that the fed cuts its overnight lending rat b 25 basis points in september. Theres a 73 it does another 25 in december, and it is toying with the idea of january with a thd cut with a 48 probability. But is all of that too aggressive . St. Louis fed president james hell la bullard makingirst comments from the fed since the trade war blew up again. Hes not as sure about the direction of policy as the market is. He said, quote, rates are in the right neighborhood. He doesnt see a need for half a percentage point. He expects anoer cut bu said, quote, it is a losing game for the fed to respond t all stock market movements. He also said fed policy cant react to the daytoday give and take oa tried waade war. This suggests the fed is not going to react tovery tariff move. Eventually the fed will have to see that tariffs aua acty weakening the u. S. Foconomy it sets policy lower. This raises the question, is this the start of a mid cycle adjustment of maybe just a couple of rate cuts or is it the cycle . F a longer easing the fed may come around to the view that it is a longer one, but it doesnto seem there quite yet.
