U.S. Treasury's "Harvest."
DATE: 12/30/2011 04:40:20 / MOOD: Musical

christian louboutin black pumps In February, the State of Connecticut in the United States, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) trading floor, traders face the screen, shocked to suck down a cold lump. They thought the sale of U.S. Treasury bonds will be very difficult, but did not expect to attract foreign investors, led by record demand. Buyers for the sale of $ 24 billion of that 10-year bonds in hot pursuit, resulting in a lot of people were ignored, and a huge price to pay at the consequences. 2011 draws to a close, a fact increasingly clear: the escalating crisis in the euro area, the background of weak economic growth in the United States under the prosaic to buy U.S. Treasury bonds, is a safe haven for investors looking for the right choice. Strong year U.S. Treasury bonds, the holders of long-term bonds alone, it received a 30% return, which makes a lot of smart investors claim suffered a run. Although the beginning of 2011, there are many perfect and sufficient grounds, empty the bond market, but the decline in U.S. bond yields, prices like gangbusters, so many people to change course and become buyers of government bonds. Last week, the demand once again demonstrated, from the beginning, the market consensus of how great changes have taken place. Investors $ 13 billion 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds showed great interest in, the extra yield on government bonds at the time of setting a minimum level of 2.925% of the contemporary. For the market rate of return 2.02% 10-year bond sale needs, second only to February this year the yield to 3.665 percent benchmark bond sale demand. Continued demand for U.S. Treasury bonds, and this year's dismal performance of many other assets exist side by side. U.S. and European stock markets fell, commodity prices fell sharply. U.S. bond yields lower, underperforming the stock market, reflecting the United States, the louboutin boots saleworld's largest economy is difficult to overcome the credit bubble burst and the plight of mortgage loans, which allow investors and policy-makers annoying. Consumer debt, the banking system is very fragile, and Japan showed a similar annoying situation. Since the Japanese real estate bubble in the early 1990s burst, the country's economy has stagnated for two decades. Although the 10-year U.S. Treasury yields now below 2%, corresponding to the Japanese benchmark bond yields remained below 1%. This is like a depressing signal: shows that the U.S. as the world's largest economy and largest real estate market, if you can not solve the debt overhang problem, what the end will face. Indeed, the Fed (US Federal Reserve) last week confirmed until mid-2013, both the overnight lending rate will remain at near zero levels. "Earlier this year, many investors do not understand the situation facing the United States and Europe," Citi Private Bank (Citi Private Bank) ? Cookson, chief investment officer Richard (Richard Cookson) said. "We are in a Japanese-style situation, the private sector is savings." For those who earlier this year, failed to find previous experience in Japan and the United States since 2008, the similarity between the situation, and that investors in U.S. Treasury yields too low, another worry is looming larger. Fiscal tightening is very popular in Washington, however, the absence of the government's economic stimulus, 2012 will be constrained economic recovery, and for some time, bond yields continue to remain at near record low levels. Cookson has suggested in early 2011 should be a large number of wealthy investors who hold U.S. Treasury bonds. He said his advice and most of the investors' point of view diametrically opposite. They think that bond yields have bottomed out, so seek higher returns from the stock market.

The United States back to Asia, to prove safety in China?
DATE: 12/29/2011 05:16:36 / MOOD: Musical

christian louboutin black pumps Increasingly diverse world, and shift the focus of U.S. foreign policy back to Asia, is the world situation in 2011, respectively, and define the Sino-US relations of the two features. In April this year, BRIC leaders in Sanya, Hainan China held its third meeting, not only to further the "BRIC" the abstract concept into a formal group meetings regularly, but also to the groups from Brazil, Russia, India China's four countries, including South Africa, extended to "BRICS." The development of the world economic situation confirms the BRIC countries of the increasing international status. U.S. not yet out of the shadow of financial crisis, the European sovereign debt crisis continues to spread. Europeans on frantically, fighting for the world's total foreign exchange reserve 3 / 4 of the BRIC countries to help fight the United States than it seems to be more critical support. It is said that the world economy is no longer rely on U.S. consumers, but will rely on Chinese investors, it is also a manifestation of this trend. Power centers continue to diversify in the world situation, the U.S. administration's "return to Asia" (pivot back to Asia) policy, especially in the second half of this year has been embodied. President Obama in November, a 10-day stay in the Asia-Pacific region - which for the purposes of any heads of state are rare at the time of investment. He first attended the United States held in Hawaii, the APEC informal leadership meeting. Then he flew to Australia announced that the U.S. troops will be located in the northwest of Darwin, Australia. Subsequently, he arrived in Bali, Indonesia to participate in focused discussions on security issues in East Asia Summit, to become the first East Asia Summit to participate in an American president. However, the United States' return to Asia "policy gave a strained Sino-US relations, and Southeast Asia has become the focus of this tension. The issue of sovereignty in the South China Sea and Vietnam, the Philippines between a series of "hot"; the Obama administration's Trans-Pacific Partnership (Trans-Pacific Partnership, TPP) to China excluded, resulting in at least embarrassment and alienation; along with befriend China, the U.S. rejection of Myanmar to halt an unprecedented investment in China Myitsone dam. In China's eyes, behind these phenomena "black hand" are Obama's "return to Asia" policy. Mainland Southeast Asia bordering China, surrounded by China's most strategically important Southeast and Southwest border. Southeast Asia but also across the world bear 1 / 3 of the freight traffic of crude oil and about 50% of the Malacca Strait. Regardless of history, cultural ties, the local geo-political terms, or Southeast Asia to China all have louboutin boots saleextraordinary strategic significance. In recent years, China's influence in Southeast Asia, especially in the economic and soft power, are on the rise, but the growing rise of China and Southeast Asian countries and China on some issues of controversy, the Southeast Asian countries are also increasingly worried about China's rise. In these controversial issues, China and South China Sea riparian countries of the South China Sea and part of the reefs of the sovereignty dispute and with countries in the Mekong River Basin water use on the controversy, the most prominent. In this context, the United States' return to Asia "Southeast Asian countries in general are welcome, but the actual implementation of this policy, but the folder hidden constraints as well as between China and Southeast Asian countries in the roundabout between the major powers and balance . While the U.S. government has reiterated in a number of different occasions in the South China Sea, the United States to remain neutral on the issue of sovereignty, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan and the U.S. exchanges, especially in the second half of this year a number of interactive, it seems a different signal transduction - interpretation of policy makers in China, Vietnam, the Philippines and the United States will inevitably lead to constantly approached departure from the United States declared its neutrality; the United States' return to Asia "policy seems to be China's policy makers are increasingly are interpreted as the policy of containment of China. This process not only deepened the distrust between China and the strategy, but also to strengthen the region's instability. Although the Obama administration's "return to Asia" policy in the United States have different views, and in the U.S. presidential election next year, the government may change the case of variables still exist, but because of strategic interests in Asia in the United States in an important position, Even if the change of government occurred, the focus of U.S. foreign policy and will not return to the general direction of Asia, a fundamental turning point. Into 2012, the Obama administration is not engaged in alternative likely to "return to Asia" policy for China-US relations to reflect the negative impact; Chinese general in the Christian Louboutin Shoescontext of high-level international room for maneuver is not be significant. Taiwan's presidential election is another one mine. Not optimistic about the prospect of all, a deep cross between China and the economic interests will, as usual, a great power war and peace. Micro external environment for China-US relations, the Korean government to bring instability may change but can become an opportunity for Sino-US cooperation.

North Korea test China-US relations change in the situation
DATE: 12/28/2011 04:24:29 / MOOD: Musical

christian louboutin black pumps For "the world's largest single military arm area" (Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd (Kevin Rudd) yesterday, so called North Korea), the Kim Jong Il (Kim Jong-il) death, whenever they may represent an unusually dangerous moment. However, when Kim Jong-il's death, it is also the United States and China on how to deal with this isolated, Stalinist rule to implement a dangerous state, when a huge difference. Last year, leaked U.S. diplomatic message gives the impression that the United States on the future of the Korean Peninsula reached a major settlement based emerging. One of the message quoted a Chinese official as saying: "Today China has less need to do the buffer state of North Korea" But the reality is actually very different. Support for North Korea, China's foreign policy may be controversial in one of the largest in. Many young Chinese are embarrassed to support the North Korean regime - the regime seems to represent some of the worst aspects of Maoism. Like yesterday, a Chinese Internet users on the microblogging asked: "is not a hereditary system as part of the Korean style socialism?" And in many young Chinese officials seem to keep with the rapid development of economic ties with South Korea than the rigid support North Korean regime is much more important. However, over the past few years, with the deteriorating health of Kim Jong Il, the Chinese leadership decided to charge an additional body in the Golden dynasty bet. China and the DPRK armed forces deep roots (such as the Korean War in the 1950s, the slogan, "closely related"). And the Chinese government view, the most dangerous thing than a unified Korean pro-American country, stand on the border. Therefore, Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang last year announced a mass rally of his son as successor, the same on the podium, standing beside the father and son Kim Zhou Yongkang - Politburo Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of nine, he mainly responsible for China's security department. For this ongoing succession of power, the Chinese government has already paid the deposit. In Washington, with three years ago, and now the Obama administration's willingness to reduce exposure to a lot of Korean. Although the U.S. seems about to resume food aid to the DPRK (North Korea may be in exchange for the guarantee to stop uranium enrichment), but this may be the motivation to ensure a stable election year, rather than the implementation of bold new diplomatic strategy. While in Korea, the United States a high degree of bipartisan consensus of opinion, are that in addition to diplomatic channels no other alternative, but there are signs that the louboutin boots saleU.S. political mood is changing, at least right in the case. Many people think that American politics, in the end Pyongyang's nuclear program is concerned, the Chinese government actually adopted a non-cooperative attitude. Today, China on North Korea's uncooperative attitude of contempt and frustration brought mixed together. Some people think that Kim's death provides an excellent opportunity for the United States can remove the false mask of cooperation with Beijing more openly promote regime change in North Korea. Has already been started to promote this view, the leading Republican presidential candidate Mitt ? Romney (Mitt Romney) is one of them. "Kim Jong Il's death provides an opportunity for the United States, with our allies together to promote North Korea from the present of this dangerous road." Romney said, "a long and brutal torture of the Korean national nightmare is people and I hope to accelerate the death of Kim Jong-il the end of a nightmare. " Kim Jong-il's death, the Sino-US cooperation to solve major problems will be a major test. Over the past few years, the United States, Japan and South Korea has called on China to engage in dialogue with them the following question: if Pyongyang a new instability (within the regime to launch a military invasion or collapse), how to deal with? Today, this dialogue has become more significant. With rumors rampant about North Korea's new leadership, the immediate risk is that parties to a miscarriage of justice likely occurred. For example, South Korea and the United States armed forces may receive intelligence, said the North Korean army invaded South Korea soon, so he started to military deployment, which may mistakenly think that the Chinese government on behalf of the United States Han ready armed intervention against the DPRK. Christian Louboutin ShoesIf the Chinese government continues to avoid dialogue, the power of a larger drama competition is likely to be staged in Korea. (Translator's Note: In addition to North Korea refers to the internal power struggle, the next big country race.)

Spring to Russia
DATE: 12/27/2011 04:34:40 / MOOD: Musical

christian louboutin black pumps "The new microchip will provide an unprecedented positioning accuracy to help people during the long winter nights in the Arctic reindeer tracks." Tuesday, when I turn on the TV, seeing is actually such a news, I could not believe my eyes. Other people are looking at the world show of Moscow - riot police and pro-government activities and those of young pro-democracy protesters clashed. Triumph Square protest rally locations (Triumphalnaya Square) has become a popular term on Twitter. However, in the state-owned channel "Rossiya 24" (Russia's only 24-hour channel), the main news is the microchip used to track the Arctic reindeer. It can be seen how the Russian leadership in dealing with Putin's first real political crisis.Deny or cover up the incident of discord, while disguised threats while vaguely promised to give, condemned the so-called intervention of foreign forces, the means are all these poor people think of 2000, Milosevic (Milosevic) in power under Belgrade. Everyone would like a question: "Despite the formidable obstacles, though it is winter, but the 'Russian Spring' is not coming on?" My answer: Yes - but Russia is likely to spring from those Arab countries revolutions. In my opinion, the likelihood is greater than the tug of war blitzkrieg.? Vladimir Putin (Vladimir Putin) still holds the daunting enormous financial resources, the police's position has not been shaken, still to violent means to deal with protesters. Confrontation that both sides are still so-called "system" parties and "non-system" groups, the former seat in Parliament, which is driving the development of street protests. Although more and more restless people, but most people want to see is to improve the current system, rather than a revolution again. All this is conducive to the Kremlin. However, louboutin boots saleby other factors, the Russian government ordered the ability to cope with the current situation is declining.First, the State Duma election results beyond Putin and United Russia party (United Russia) by surprise. More than a year, Putin's United Russia party's support has been dropped. But the Russian government continues to believe that, through bribery and vote rigging, to maintain the United Russia party in the parliamentary majority party status.Russian people are willing to vote for United Russia party to any outside party, and this gives the Russian government was taken aback. Common behavior of forged ballots lead to the intense reaction, which is the Russian government did not expect. Putin and his cronies do not seem to respond to this unexpected situation "B program."Court convicted a number of protesters - but Russia is not Belarus, Putin ? Alexander Lukashenko is not (Alexander Lukashenko). Belarus capital Minsk in protest of many of the activities were sentenced to prison in difficult areas serving five years, while protesters in Moscow was only sentenced to 15 days in jail, serving various locations in the Moscow police prison - so light prison sentence will only increase the credibility of those. Some non-political celebrities in the past have rushed to protest sites, some of which were taken away by police when it comes to wearing fur coats. A Moscow public humorously wrote on Twitter: "Pretty soon, will refuse to accept the high society people who do not spent time in prison."For the Kremlin, there is a bad news. The Kremlin is not only losing the trust of intellectuals and celebrities, also lost the trust of some young people, these people generally in the 30-year-old, in the past for political indifference, and even has support for Putin, and now turn from the principle opposed to Putin. Small number of these people, but they are well educated, widely traveled, familiar with the Internet, far-sighted. Kremlin and United Russia party has irrevocably lost the support of these people, also will be in Moscow and St. Petersburg lost popular support. This is very noteworthy. Bolshevik coup in 1917, and between 1989 and 1991 anti-Soviet revolution, are in these two cities in Russia's most important outcome of the set.It is also the last time, the government can rely on state-controlled television stations to arrange for the election affairs. In 2011, Russia significantly increased Internet penetration, more than 50 million daily users: more and more people began to read independent news, rarely or not state intervention in their own screening a variety of perspectives. Official media have only two options, one option is to ignore the facts, which would undermine the already shaky credibility of it, another option is to report what actually happened, this result will increase the intensity of public criticism.Finally, with the March 2012 presidential election approaching, attention to Putin. Putin can not do whatever they want to give opportunities to six years in exchange for social stability and economic impact from the crisis? The State Duma election triggered demonstrations, in essence, is the public's answer to this question. Significant majority of people the answer is: "Thank you, can not." Today, Putin only three months to build a "2.0 version" of the image presented to the Russian people - it is almost impossible task. If the general election in March next year still perform the usual kind of secret operations, to accompany some candidates from the election official, Putin's approval ratings continue to decline. If the campaign to make it real, Putin may have to undergo a real harsh criticism, or even to participate in TV debate - this is Russian presidents have not done. This brings risks, Putin notoriously risk-averse. However, to stop this regime faces legitimacy crisis, the Kremlin seems to have no choice.Some would say that the bloody suppression of the possibility still exists. In my opinion, the Russian government is not interested in this strategy. This strategy will completely destroy the Kremlin's image in the minds of the people, and will soon be useless. Corruption has become a major means of governance of the country, effective dictatorship is impossible. Some trucks are equipped with water cannons opened to Christian Louboutin ShoesMoscow, used to disperse the protesters, so far, these trucks do not come in handy. These truck back to the garage, may be a wise choice.

Clouded the global economy
DATE: 12/18/2011 03:48:07 / MOOD: Musical

christian louboutin black pumps  Few economists dare to categorically assert that no longer appear in 2012 a global recession. Mainstream view, the current economic outlook was bleak than the early autumn, when a lot. Further deterioration of the euro zone crisis, has swept through Italy and Spain, and came to the French front. In other developed economies, the recovery is still weak. The emerging markets are also beginning to feel the pressure. Policy-makers worried. International Monetary Fund (IMF) President Christine Lagarde ? (Christine Lagarde) gu three times in September, warned the world economy has entered a "dangerous phase." To 12 months, she said, those threats are becoming a reality. "The global economic outlook worse, in some respects worse than we had expected a lot." Lagarde told reporters in Brazil this month, said. Increasingly pessimistic mood has infected the OECD (OECD), the developed economies, especially in response to politicians. OECD chief economist Pierre ? ? Carlo Padoan (Pier Carlo Padoan) said: "We are concerned that policy makers do not see the urgency of the matter, refused to take decisive action to deal with the global economy is facing ... ... the risk. " Private sector economists view the same. Investment bank Goldman Sachs (Goldman Sachs) down the relevant forecasts. The company's U.S. chief economist Jane ? Hatzius (Jan Hatzius) said that in many developed economies, tax increases and debt service to homes and businesses curb economic growth. "Dual role, the next two years is likely to continue to maintain low growth." Brookings Institution (Brookings Institution) of ace Walter ? Prasad (Eswar Prasad) is more pessimistic. "In early 2009, it is difficult to see a glimmer of hope now the same. The difference is that the crisis of 2008 caused a huge debt burden, so the current policy on the subject to greater constraints." However, the occasion of anxiety in predicting who is not the whole world are in dire straits. Germany's October employment indicators since the reunification of Germany set a record high, which fully shows that German prosperity, and the suffering of the euro area periphery countries, not between the two stakeholders. Although economists have reduced forecasts, but they generally expect global growth in 2012 will be slightly higher than 3%, only one percentage point lower than in 2011. The vast majority of global economic growth will come from emerging markets. The core area of ??Europe in a crisis, whether it is within the euro zone, or the euro zone economies around, most of the brink of recession. It had expected a "bazooka" will prevent the crisis spreading to Italy and Spain, louboutin boots salethe hopes, in many parts of Europe, while the official cost of borrowing again at historic lows, governments, households and businesses are facing interest rate high situation. Few expect the euro zone can quickly recover most of the predictions are that the beginning of 2012 the euro zone economy will shrink, as the single currency area surrounding countries, such as the UK, economic growth will be close to stagnation. The most worrying is that the recession will exacerbate market sovereign debt and bank financing pressures (in no way related problem has been resolved), leading to a similar vicious downward spiral in 2008, and may lead to the collapse of the euro. Given the money supply is the fastest pace since early 2009 decline, the financial services group Credit Suisse (Credit Suisse) Neville ? Hill (Neville Hill) said: "For the monetary indicators is highly valued institutions, such as European Central Bank and the German central bank, which should be a warning signal. " Most observers expect the existence of the euro will be able to go, but this is not because the policy makers to solve the problem. Another highly developed in the global economy in the United States, most economists expect the U.S. economy will enter an election year in the occasion of a modest recovery. With the U.S. unemployment rate is falling, consumer spending because of higher growth rates than in Europe, survey data show that U.S. economic growth continued to bland. But with election season approaching, next year is not necessarily a quiet year. Citigroup (CITI) chief economist William ? Bit (Willem Buiter) argued that even modest growth, "We expect it will not be strong to significantly reduce the unemployment rate in 2012-13 to the point." Barclays Capital (Barclays Capital) ? Julian Carlo (Julian Callow), as long as Europe continues to grow weak, the prospects for America's future is most important is that Congress will be the end of 2011 to extend the maturity of the payroll tax cut policy. Considered in the developed world face another year of disappointment, when the global economic engine more decisive move to large emerging economies. Emerging markets - Standard Chartered Bank (Standard Chartered Bank) ? Gerald Lyons (Gerard Lyons) said the West fundamentals are poor, confidence suffered a blow. "In contrast, in the emerging markets, strong fundamentals, almost has a complete policy reserves, confidence is likely more durable." But even in these emerging economies are not without any problems. Japanese investment bank Nomura (Nomura) data indicate that in 2011, China contributed 40% of global economic growth. ? the company's chief economist Paul Sheard (Paul Sheard), said: "No wonder we are so worried about China risks a hard landing." China felt the rest of the world economic slowdown. The Chinese government began to worry about whether they can have the ability to maintain growth. HSBC Bank (HSBC) in Qu Hongbin said that, at least inflation is slowing, which expanded the implementation of the stimulus space. He said: "China's major macro risk is rapid inflation to deflation from the need to enter the next year at the occasion of the introduction of more aggressive easing." Such policies the Chinese government in 2009, succeeded in increasing infrastructure spending, and state-owned enterprises to invest in housing construction, and now may again play a role, even though such capital expenditures will not help in rebalancing the global economy longer-term goals. Emerging elsewhere in the world continues to grow, but the growth rate lower. Eastern Europe including Turkey, are particularly vulnerable to the euro zone crisis. With the commodity boom cooling, Latin America's rapid economic slowdown, and despite the significant improvement in economic performance in Africa, the region remains vulnerable to global economic slowdown. Christian Louboutin ShoesThe world is still full of risks. Developed economies from the crisis of 2008-09 to recover, there is still a long way to go, the emerging world to the extent to which self-sustained growth model, there are uncertainties. Strong recovery in 2010, the year the situation is very disappointing.
