Podcasts about currency manipulation

In this timely episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back frequent guest and audience favorite Ira Kalish, Chief Global and US Economist for Deloitte, who is set to deliver the opening keynote address at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 3rd. This conversation offers listeners a valuable preview of the critical economic insights Canadian retailers can expect from his highly anticipated keynote.As LeBlanc notes in the introduction, "I'm very excited that you're going to be here in person," highlighting the significance of Kalish's upcoming role in kicking off RCC's flagship event during this period of economic uncertainty. The episode serves as an essential primer for conference attendees and provides crucial analysis for all retail professionals navigating today's complex trade environment.Drawing on his deep economic expertise, Kalish reveals that average US tariff rates have skyrocketed to approximately 27% - levels not seen since 1903. This represents a dramatic increase from the previous 3-3.5% rates and has triggered significant financial market volatility, supply chain disruptions, and growing concerns about economic downturns - all topics he'll address more extensively in his STORE2025 presentation.The conversation tackles three major justifications for the new tariff approach: shifting from taxes to tariffs for revenue generation, rebalancing global trade priorities, and re-shoring manufacturing. Kalish systematically challenges these rationales, providing a preview of the economic framework he'll expand upon during his conference keynote.Particularly concerning for retailers planning to attend STORE2025, Kalish highlights data showing container shipments from China to the US are down 45% year-over-year, as importers either find tariffs too prohibitive or wait for potential policy reversals. This disruption threatens empty store shelves and significantly higher consumer prices in the immediate future - urgent challenges that will undoubtedly be central to his opening address.Continuing themes he'll develop further at the conference, the discussion also explores non-tariff barriers, currency manipulation accusations, and the possibility of regional "fortress" trading blocs. While Kalish doesn't foresee complete regionalization of trade, he notes that many countries are now working to reduce US trade dependence by liberalizing trade with each other.On a more optimistic note, the conversation concludes by examining how this trade crisis might catalyze positive economic reforms in Canada - a topic that will resonate strongly with the Canadian retail executives gathering at STORE2025.Listeners are encouraged to follow Kalish's weekly economic updates on Deloitte's thought leadership website at deloitte.com/insights, while also making plans to attend his must-see opening keynote at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 1st, where he'll provide expanded insights on these rapidly evolving economic developments.  Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

#PRC:  CURRENCY MANIPULATION. FRASER HOWIE, @GORDONGCHANG, GATESTONE, NEWSWEEK, THE HILL 1967

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Key Takeaways: Inflation and Currency Devaluation Inflation makes prices rise, and this can lower the value of a country's currency. When this happens, investments tied to that currency might also lose value, creating challenges for investors. What is Currency Hedging? Currency hedging is like locking in the value of money to protect it from future changes. While it sounds helpful, it can add extra layers of risk and complexity to your investment strategy. The Role of Interest Rates and Central Banks Central banks control interest rates to influence the economy. These decisions can change the value of currencies and affect the prices of investments, like stocks and real estate. How Geopolitical Events Matter Events like trade wars or international disputes can lead to inflation by raising production costs. These changes can squeeze profits for companies and shift investment trends. Currency Diversification and Financial Knowledge Spreading your investments across different currencies can reduce risks, but it's not enough by itself. Understanding the “laws” of how money and finance work—like inflation and interest rate effects—helps you make smarter decisions.

Jason Hartman starts off the show talking with Elisabeth Embry about how she makes her 5-year plans, and why it's important. The 5-year plan contest is still going on, and you can win great prizes and set your future up for success by making one and sharing it with others. Then, Jason continues his conversation with former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. The two finish up their talk by looking at why the government thinks they're the best option for many aspects in our lives, what would happen if the government got out of the way and prices reverted to normal (rather than the distorted view we're getting today), and why we shouldn't expect to see inflation curbed in the near future (or ever, more likely).

China has been accused of currency manipulation for years. This was alleged by many countries who believed the Chinese government was doing this to artificially position their products at more favorable prices in the global market place. Are we now on the verge of other sovereign nations doing the same in the wake of COVID 19 in order to stay afloat. To help us with the conversation is Peter Hall.

Tuesday 14th January 2020 As a further sign of a more positive path for the US and China, there are reports this morning that the US Treasury Department will no-longer consider China a currency manipulator.

The Trump administration has officially labeled China a “currency manipulator” after the Chinese central bank allowed the renminbi to fall below a key threshold, marking a dramatic escalation in the trade war between the two economic powers. This comes as US President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns about the trade war with China, while his top economic aide said the US president was committed to negotiations with Beijing after labeling the country a currency manipulator. The US Treasury designation is seen by analysts as a largely symbolic move that will serve as a political justification for more tariffs. As I understand it, there's a clear definition of currency manipulation that has three elements, and China at this point only meets one.Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló resigned Friday, as promised, clearing the way for veteran politician Pedro Pierluisi to be sworn in as his replacement. The down-to-the-wire maneuvering risked political chaos and sowed bitterness and pessimism among Puerto Ricans about the fate of their island, which has been battered by years by bankruptcy and Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the worst natural disasters in US history. However, I don't think it's that simple. The US is imposing a total economic embargo against Venezuela. Trump made the announcement Monday that an executive order will freeze all government assets unless exempted, like funds used to provide humanitarian aid. The embargo expands already tough sanctions Washington has leveled against the South American nation, which has been embroiled in a political and economic crisis for months. Trump singled out Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, calling him illegitimate and an abuser of human rights. The US and several other allies recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido as the rightful president.

He died for our sins. What were/are those sins? What must we do to atone? Fr. Richard John Neuhaus: Death on a Friday Afternoon. Passover supper is Last Supper. Trump reversals & Trump strengths. Ex-Im (Scott Garrett), Yellen, rates, dollar, tax & health reform, reciprocity, Syria, Russia, no China currency manipulation, easier trade w/ China re N. Korea. Trump promises kept: tax, repeal & replace (tho total confusion; NEC-Cohn haven't done their job), pipeline, EPA, border security, refugees. Drain swamp-- overturn establishment elites. Problems gone unfixed for 20 years. Give him a chance. Tax plan scrapped? W/ cheap dollar? Reversal of JFK-Reagan. Drain CBO swamp. Growth is mother of all pay-fors. GOP hardball on reconciliation. Stocks slip. Retail sales fall 2nd straight month. Syria impact? Oil recession over? Profits? Mixed signals. The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher. Bannon down? More centrist Trump?

In this edition of the Debunking Economics podcast we test Donald Trump's accusations that China, Japan and Germany are manipulating their currencies – something he hates, of course, because it makes it harder for him to achieve his aim, of returning the US to a positive balance of trade. It's a big undertaking. Is he right that these countries have an unfair advantage over the US and, if so, will a tariff barrier really rectify the problem, or just start a trade war?

Join Carlos Vazquez as he explores the psychology of currency manipulation.From currency management in Russia in 1918 to financial liberalization in modern-day New Zealand and Chile. The case studies of this wide-ranging exploration of financial institutions show that bridging the abyss between barter and a fully convertible currency is no less essential to economic prosperity today than it was eighty years ago. Sound and stable currencies have been easily eroded by government interventions; repressed, fragmented financial systems have been their corollary. Undoing this damage and reestablishing the strength of a currency is far more difficult, as the recent experiences of Argentina and Chile can attest.Steve H.

Catch up with the latest forex news this week as Anna joins host Eddie Horn for her twice weekly spot on TopStepTrader's Squawk radio.

All forex traders focus on the EUR/USD - primarily for two reasons. It is the most liquid, and is also the pair with the tightest spreads. However, what most fail to realise is that is the most political of all currencies. Indeed, I could go further, and say this is no longer a free floating currency. Most traders find it almost impossible to trade, and yesterday gave us a classic reason as to why!

Andrew Horowitz, host of The Disciplined Investor podcast, shows us how to make money from the currency manipulation taking place across the world. Andrew also sees a pullback in stocks in the months ahead - and shares his favorite ways to play the downtrend. 

Ronald McKinnon, the William D. Eberle Professor of International Economic at Stanford University and author of Unloved Dollar Standard: From Bretton Woods to the Rise of China, talks about the benefits that America derives from--and the responsibilities that it has--under the dollar standard. He discusses the harm that U.S. monetary policy has inflicted on emerging countries like China and Brazil, and explains why an appreciation in China's currency would not tilt the U.S.-China trade balance in America's favor.

Don Boudreaux of George Mason University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about Chinese exchange rate policy and the claim that China keeps the value of its currency artificially low in order to boost exports to the United States and reduce U.S. exports. Boudreaux argues that regardless of whether China is manipulating its currency, inexpensive Chinese imports are generally good for the United States. He also points out that manufacturing output in the United States has been thriving despite claims that the United States is being "hollowed out." The conversation also includes a discussion of whether Chinese holdings of U.S. Treasuries threaten the United States.

This week, Mike and Kristin discuss news of the tragic shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. As the nation sinks deeper into political divide, what transpired was a conversation about white nationalism, whether political parties are “responsible” for hate and tragedy. Mike thinks President Trump should be held accountable for his ramped-up rhetoric, while Kristin says that both parties must take responsibility for violent language. Kristin and Mike both bring up points about mental health and gun control, as well as Red Flag laws and assault weapons bans. They agree that they aren't hopeful anything would transpire – but that we should work towards solutions. Next, they talk about the Treasury Department declaring China a currency manipulator. Mike thoroughly explains the terms and says that China may have manipulated currency in the past, but that recent devaluation of currency isn't manipulation. Kristin brings up the fact that all nations engage in currency devaluation, and mentions President Trump's increased tariffs on Chinese goods. Both Mike and Kristin maintain a “wait and see approach” – will the tariffs work to level the trade playing field, or will this declaration lead to a trade war? Time will tell. Mike and Kristin often find themselves discussing immigration law, and this week is no exception. After ICE officials raided seven plants in MS and arrested 680 undocumented workers, both agree that the system is broken. Mike remains skeptical that anything will be done, citing powerful business interests. He also argues that businesses are often put in positions where they are forced to hire undocumented workers, who are then mistreated and separated from their families. Kristin agrees and both say that there must be a middle ground, an easier pathway for obtaining work visas or citizenship. Kristin argues this would help everyone - the government could vet immigrants and account for them, and the workers would be kept with families and they would have recourse for payment disputes and unsafe working conditions. Finally, they move to the topic of Rep. Joaquin Castro's alleged “doxxing” of Trump donors and their businesses in his district. Was it an effort to be transparent, or was it “dog-whistling”? Mike thinks that Republican critics are being overly sensitive, and mentions that this information is public record and easily found. Kristin brings up motive and the fact that these donors and their employees are constituents, but Mike argues that the tweet won't affect businesses much. They discuss connections Castro made between the El Paso shooter and Trump donors. *Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible*.
