  • Eurostat reports today industrial new orders in the Eurozone declined by 30.1% from a year ago. In Germany, the decline was 32.2%. This is the tenth consecutive month of sharp declines averaging above 30% per month. It seems that industrial contraction in Europe today is twice as bad as in 1929-1930. The fact that export powerhouse Germany leads the collapse raises questions about the euro, whose exchange rate is literally killing German manufacturing.

    The virtuous circle could soon turn viciousChina is the world supply sourceAmerica is the world demand sourceChina sells goods to the US consumerThe consumer sends dollars to ChinaChina parks dollars in US bondsLower bond yields subsidize the US consumer spurring demand and investmentUS consumer demand leads to investment into Chinese manufacturing

    At the core of this virtuous circle is credit expansion. But we know that is changing. China is hiking rates and the US is in recession. Rising interest rates in China and falling US demand are the feedback loop that will suppress Chinese growth.
