and shipping she's in the summer heat at top speed to meet demand in more of africa where prices are surging prior to the holiday. this is d.w. business i'm joined on in berlin welcome it may be called the u.s. china trade war but it could be the world economy loses out fears of a steadily dimming outlook as investors dumping stocks and running for safe haven. india the country where gold prices have soared to an all time high it was one of 3 countries to take markets by surprise on wednesday the indian central bank cut its benchmark rate by 35 basis points more than analysts expected. but india wasn't the only surprise for investors thailand central bank unexpectedly lowered rates for the 1st time in 4 years and the reserve bank of new zealand cut the

benchmark rate by 50 basis points to one percent the lowest level ever this series of rate cut decisions could be a sign the u.s. china trade war is taking its toll and central bankers are trying their best to avert recessions cutting interest rates makes money cheaper to borrow and that generally boost spending where economic activity may be stoli. some analysts say it may be too early to cut rates despite the global economic slowdown as it leaves central banks with fewer instruments to spur expansion if economies do take a downturn. but just how rattled are the markets our financial correspondent yan's cortez folk to silver bear capitals director floor trading. it only seems to be one topic for the past month i would say trade between china and the u.s. so how concerned are you overall you know your 100 percent right and that's been moving the markets whether it's tweets from china tweets from our president the

white house it's been moving this market at superspeed and you know at 1st when we 1st got involved in this trade war i thought i know a lot of people thought ok be over a month maybe 3 months most now we're going on over a year it is very concerning but it's amazing it really hasn't affected the u.s. economy which has been so strong i mean inflation stays consistently low i thought it come up a little it hasn't consumer spending still robust unemployment still strong. i mean overall the economy so acting very well do you believe that the deal between the 2 biggest economies on the planet is still possible it's good and hard hard but yeah i do think it's possible and i think we saw it this week the chinese basically said they're not going to get any more agricultural products but we're the only one that really can supply mass supplies of soybeans argentina can't but not on the on the

level that we can so it takes $52.00 days from the farmland where they store soybeans to get to beijing by ship if they keep that up they're going to go into winter without any soybeans and that's a staple for them so i think you may see movement in this trade war sooner rather than later do you have a certain sympathy for the overall harsh course for u.s. president donald trump when it comes to trade with china when you know at 1st you think ok he's taking a really hard stance and the chinese have taken advantage of the u.s. economy and the u.s. taxpayer for years we think it's the right thing but on it i personally believe you could be a little more flexible and get things done and get things moving at least and i think his tweets harm torques i really do i wish he wouldn't be so bombastic out there with some of the things he says but that's the way this man is you also do quite some business was china so what do you hear from over there from your partners yeah i mean i work actually for a company have

a china and hong kong and they feel that china's taking a hard policy and they should break because they're seeing ramifications in their economy more than we are i mean it's definitely slowing down it's more unemployment and we're seeing unrest there not reporting it because the communist country but we are seeing more unrest going on in china we're seeing in hong kong our high level but it's a start to get out of hand there so that's another reason i do think we'll see some kind of movement one way or another i don't think everyone will get what they want . they'll have enough so both sides will say ok we won just to save face maybe briefly do you believe that the u.s. economy is strong enough to actually handle all those negative effects of the trade tensions not for long i mean we are strong of now but i think coming into the next earnings season you will see hit earnings remember we just came off in our in season where things were good i mean 75 percent of all companies that reported beat profit line so things are still good what earnings and that's the bottom line but i

do think you'll see things slow down going into the holiday season if this isn't taking care thank you so much for your time thanks for having me really. the new british foreign minister dominic rob said there's a huge appetite for opposed to bribes a trade deal between the u.k. and the u.s. after meeting with u.s. president donald trump robb is on a 3 day visit to north america. campaigners say leaving the european union will allow britain to sign its own by lateral trade deals with other countries the e.u. is the u.k.'s biggest trading partner. courier service fed ex is ending its deal for ground deliveries with e-commerce giant amazon fed ex is allowing its contract with the online retailer to expire at the end of the month amazon is building its own cargo hold in kentucky analysts say the tech giant could be planning to build its own delivery service making it
