Focus in on retaliation measures after Trump's tariff. Traders have ignored the exceptional US February nonfarm payroll numbers. Global stock markets are expected to rise. Sentiment for the US dollar is still weak. Now the focus will be on the FOMC meet. The pace of interest rate hikes is the key and not the actual hike. An early Easter (in March) does have temporary economic implications.
I believe that copper, zinc, lead and nickel may have formed a short term bottom last week and are looking to rise. Industrial metals will fall only if they fall below last week's low.
There will be long term political implications in Asia as China's Xi is given unlimited term. China is the only nation that can counter the USA in Asia. I expect a short term war between India-China in the next few years. China also faces problems with radical Islam. Dealing with radical Islam will be a big challenge for Xi internally. This move is bullish for Chinese economic growth as Xi is a firm leader pushing for growth. Industrial metal demand in China is expected to rise. Chinese investment in US treasuries will also fall at a very slow pace. China will import more crude oil and natural gas from Russia as it gets a direct pipeline. (sea route dependency for energies gets reduced). Less payment for energies in US dollar (as China-Russia energy purchases will be more in non US dollar form). Per capita gold demand in China will also rise as Chinese income/savings starts to rise.
