started off as a global trade war turned into a currency war which then ultimately matched the cold tech war being fought right underneath the surface this global chess match between the superpowers china and the us now shifted into the next phase of the global struggle for economic supremacy capital wars while still in discussions on the actual mechanics of how to implement and enforce the trump and ministration greenlighted this review this would affect billions of dollars and china bound investments as well as the u.s. equity indexes an e.t.s. of which contain a hefty weighting of chinese stocks one mechanism being considered is to force chinese firms to delist from u.s. stock exchanges under the guise of security concerns for still listing on this scale would be unprecedented as more than $150.00 chinese firms currently listed on the u.s. exchange and other ways of curbing capital include limiting u.s. portfolio inflows into china and limits on exposure and also blocking new chinese i.p.o.'s from listing nasdaq is already cracking down on i.p.o.'s

a small chinese companies by tightening restrictions and slowing down their approval process stocks in mainland china fell to the lowest in almost a month as the u.s. further escalates into the planned trade talks discussions this opens up a new front that we have not seen yet in the china u.s. conflict the big question now remains are these just loose headlines and make threats from the white house using capital flows as a bargaining chip or is this a real threat while a treasury official reported over the weekend that there are no immediate plans to eventual u.s. companies from listing the market is not reassured as the source also said that there is no time frame for their implementation and a crackdown can come without warning there are now at least 2 bills circulating in congress that could result in capital controls if passed markets now see a lot more downside in this new front a limitation of u.s. pension funds to tiny's markets with the massive portfolio swings that's the.

disaster for the tech sector china could further retaliate and dump u.s. treasuries but what is most worrisome is that this is an extreme departure from the u.s. as longstanding free market orthodoxy the us has long advocated for opening financial markets around the world to capital the fact that this discussion is even taking place is shocking to the whole international finance community. now with more on the field of battle for this global capital war we bring forward chief strategist of the trading welcome back now a treasury person says now that there are currently no plans to block chinese companies from being one listed on u.s. stock exchanges but they also say there is no time frame for implementation further fueling the uncertainty so is in your view is this a real threat or is this more of a bluff or is the uncertainty that the he can create the mr president term can create from the suggestion is that the move itself just to create more uncertainty

. i think it's part of from you know art of the deal i think it's you know it's not that's in my opinion that's never going to happen there never the less these companies because it just it doesn't make sense it takes away money out of the flow of our markets so they're not going to do that and of course the chinese stocks did recover a little bit today based on that information you know could happen i don't think so i think that this is more of a play and good president trying to slow down sure there's a lot of things you can do but i don't think that he would do this is this would be this would be a very bad idea and i don't i don't think he have done and they can get past i think there's too many things going on here they would create this from ever happening so while the market doesn't think that they would actually delist there it is pricing the fact that the u.s. can place potential capital restrictions on chinese companies and if they do so what in these chinese companies then instead of i feel in america when they just.

walk over and list over hong kong. i mean they roll us over to hong kong i mean baba want to do all this there anyways i think what you're doing is yours you're in china for years they still have cattle restrictions on what can go out so they've finally opened up the markets to their people so you can see anything happening but again i don't see any real restriction i think this is more of a waiter pressure of the chinese to say hey let's get this deal done let's get the free trade going let's get all these tariff wars over and let's play ball and i think this is what's going to happen and i think you'll see you see the reaction in the china markets which has been pretty much disasters and but then what and this actually does end up hurting the u.s. rather than china. a lot i don't listen i at the end of the day if they did the less they would do i think we would survive and we were provided still flourish but i don't think that again i don't believe that we're going to go back into just the american united states of america only without having international trade international things going on so i don't believe that will happen i don't think it

is i don't really think it's an issue to be honest. and meanwhile bubble of the u.s. dollar is at a high for the past 2 years against both against both the euro and the dollar index basket the ice dollar and next basket sounds good but of course in international trade a higher value currency hurts your exports is this trend in the dollar trending higher going to start affecting corporate earnings and would we start seeing that negative effect in the earnings reports coming up for this next quarter. well i was i think the dollar is going significantly higher amount i am looking for at least par when it goes up to i mean we've been looking forwards and that was in the eighty's but i think it shouldn't hurt profits but of course these are built in excuse is that the current corporate corporations will have when it comes to earnings because certainly they know enough to be able to hedge the dollar if you want to protect against dollar exposure you can certainly hedge it in the open free

markets so i think this is a more mixed use when they do start using it it's the same as you know whether because it certainly could be hedged relatively easily i mean we try to globally and we're able to hedge dollars overnight so it's certainly something that could be done and should be done but they rather would use it as an excuse for not making their numbers the kind old back as far as the export and look this is what the currency wars created this is what the fee at all 3 i currently system is done through the federal reserve is allowed central banks to manipulate dollars and the united states dollar is a fair asset so there is money flowing here because of someone certainly around the globe so on the back of the strong dollar the u.s. right now isn't it needs to borrow money lots of money and china is $1.00 of the main main buyers of u.s. treasuries so given the strong dollars and this very bad economic front here china can actually refuse to buy for the u.s. treasuries whereas the u.s. got a bomb money from. again though you can always get to a rate or some reason alone your money now i would find it very hard to believe

that china would actually stop borrowing money and buy u.s. treasuries because they've got too much invested you know. oh bank 5000 they own you have your own 5000000 you own them and i think right now based on the amount of money an amount of treasuries that china is holding they've got no choice then to keep supporting this or they may not get paid back so i get these go into a lot more complex things then they're going to they're not going to buy or charging them or are going to try to sell or trade they sell them you could simply just manipulate everything down so it's not that simple and it will never happen. and todd this upcoming earnings week may be very revealing in terms of gauging the health of corporate america we've been touching in on these i.p.o.'s the sort of troubled i.p.o. market recently seems to be crumbling in fact the median i.p.o. in 2900 is drastically underperforming the russell 3000 is the worst on record right now surpassing the negative returns at the peak of the financial crisis from

2009 so my question is did we just we've just gone through witnessing an i.p.o. bubble bursting now that we work i.p.o. has been postponed and pull its own crashed in trading. well you're going to get a couple of ways you can say investors are friendly getting smarter and they're not chasing these i.p.o.'s up but it certainly indicates there are some problems and of course you know we've been talking about this for about 6 or 7 weeks that i believe that we're already in the early stages of a recession to begin with you know recessions like markets don't announce themselves and say hey we're going to recession they're already i think it's already started and you can see that showing up in some of the earnings that are going to be out this week i believe and the new i.p.o.'s that people are not going to chase into them the only that's really confident right now is the consumer because they can afford to pay for it by the month and they've got jobs but if you look at underneath the surface corporate executives are selling their stocks are already you know ahead of time because they understand that there are some issues

in nursing about their own companies so i think we're in for a somewhat bumpy road when that starts i can't answer that question but i had to go get them or. it's going to continue to drift higher but eventually they're going to have they're going to have to come to a meeting because we are certainly starting the very early stages of recession not so let's go back to the i feel market right here we work was essentially a real estate company and peloton for lack of a better word is just stuff overpriced stationary bike with an i pod super glued onto it the real innovation right now has actually been coming out of china in 2018 the biggest i.p.o. is listed were chinese companies on the u.s. market which included 10 set which included next which included ali baba back in the day which generate $300000000.00 in brokerage fees for the u.s. trading market so all of this information and all this money and revenue into the u.s. market is actually coming from china so again if the does the u.s. market actually is harmed from the u.s. implementing capital controls on chinese companies. well again i don't believe

there's going to have a controls but if we get down that you already saw the very beginning surface on friday when the when the the news item came out of bloomberg so certainly that's going to create a much bigger selloff but again these things will resolve themselves they always do and there's always a reason why the markets finally get that final selloff after they've had a really that's going on and on and on and that could be that it might be the black swan that shows up but eventually it will work its way out and it will there will not be restrictions because again we go back to it's a simple dollars and cents game and we're not going to give up those dollars that's a little bit different than the dollars that we're talking about for turf and for true. while america is going to lose out on a lot of innovation if they do try to restrict all this. they steal our innovation or whether there may be are very to begin with we'll go back to those times or would choose to try to just above the trading day so much for and say thank you.

they already have a company molly bear a contributor to america's lawyer will be on hand for the ruling was the fact. the long march and the tactical. and as we go to break here's the numbers at the club. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

soul reposed gamble is ongoing the whole negative interest rates are the same that we work better in the bond market these things are happening or experiencing a breakdown in markets all over the world so what we have we dodged one bullet call the we'd work you know but we're getting. from financial bad guys shooting at us with impunity. and so many people because they copied them. i'm not anybody in. the field let blood she was.

what. is that if you have to say. that is. what did.

you know world a big part of. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin saul mon is warning that oil prices could spike if allies do not join saudi arabia's push to isolate iran the crown prince's suggestion was arguably counter-intuitive as most observers have seen aggression against iran as the more likely cause for

a price spike rather than continued restraint from iran's adversaries in a news making interview with the us news magazine show sick. minutes the monarch in waiting said quote if the world does not take a strong and firm action to deter iran we will see further escalations that will threaten world interests or supplies will be disrupted and oil prices will jump to unimaginably high numbers that we haven't seen in our lifetimes in some on again claim without offering additional evidence that iran was culpable in a recent attack on a saudi saudi oil processing plant and farmar and on the much anticipated i.p.o. of saudi aramco we're now joined by r t correspondent alex mahela from toronto so like saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmaan is asking for action against iran but in his words a political and peaceful solution is much better than a military one so why the restraint all of a sudden. and denies this and has from the very beginning any of involvement in

this airstrike which of the drones as well as missiles supposedly involved in this hitting 2 of the saudis biggest a oil refining or a reserve production facilities one of those actually the biggest in the world now for the saudi prince one thing that he knows is that in this case war might be bad for business because what we saw and some investors kind of like that when you know where the numbers jump when it comes to oil they jump price wise when the propriety goes down the supply were down by about 5 to 6 percent after the airstrike we saw the initial jump of 20 percent per barrel in the prices and then it just dropped to 10 percent so it was nothing it didn't really hold too long but it was the biggest jump that we've ever seen look at this graph the. kind of breaks it all down for you because this really is very very telling major all oil supply disruptions we

have everything from wars to hurricanes to strikes to libya war katrina you know the big things happening in this world some of these wars are sustainable. this was the biggest spike that we've ever seen it because this was the most a massive of things when you look at 5 percent 5 to 6 percent of oil supply be cut off now the principal you know him and his company are ram co which is you know the state company in saudi arabia for oil well they're doing all right they're doing all right everything jump back into shape aramco actually somehow magically is doing their production is just under what it was before so that's pretty incredible in itself and according to the principle to this is the worry so according to the prince he said the middle east region represents about 30 percent of the world's energy supplies about 20 percent of global trade passages and about 4 percent of the world g.d.p. now this is where he knows that a war with iran could be devastating not only for his own economy which was hit by

20 percent ok when you this happened right so this is this is massive here so it's for the globe and so he does not necessarily want to go to war because he knows that on the other side of things things might not look too good for anyone and alex you're joining us from canada and we know there's been some bumps in the road to say the least between diplomatic relations between saudi arabia and canada perhaps most remarkably this threat to from a government associated twitter account basically threatening to 911 canada just about a year ago but there seems to be finally some good news for a canadian bank in a role with the saudi aramco i.p.o. process what can you tell us about that. there are deals absolutely massive as you know so r.b.c. the royal bank of canada have been awarded a role in this this i.p.o. and this is what they're doing so the canadian chartered bank has been chosen as a book when i when i see book corner i mean they'll be joining in the international

syndicate of banks there's many banks involved in this and what they do is they're basically underwriter secure everything in check in now around. it's also considering a canadian rapper so this is basically a so-called rapper to be able to sell and market the array of coal products here in canada when i say products i mean you know their i.p.o. is going to be massive we're looking they were thinking it's going to be about 10 to 15000000000 we're looking at a 100000000000 in bonds are ready and tons of interest in there so this is going to be absolutely massive and it's not too far away starting up in october and everything should be on the go by november. big news r.j. correspondent alex may hell of a change joining us. thank you. american fast fashion retailer forever $21.00 filed for bankruptcy protection on sunday and said that they're planning to close more than $350.00 stores worldwide the low

well so last week this administrative judge ruled that tesla violated the national labor relations act a number of times when workers in california organized a union 2 years ago by threatening and retaliating against them so judge me to tracy ordered the company to stop a number of these actions including eliminating a rule that blocks employees from handing out union literature when they're off duty and also to stop interrogating people about any union activities she also ordered tesla to reinstate and give back pay to one union employee who had been fired and rescind a warning that they had given to another pro-union employee judge tracey had a. slew of other comments in orders for the company as well as its founder ilan musk related to this case she called him out on a tweet from may have last year or must essentially implied that joining a union meant his employees would give up tesla stock options and she threw that down so that was illegal and she ordered him as well to be at the tesla plant

freema california when he or someone from the labor board is supposed to give a public notice read this noticed employees of all the ways of the company broke the law and basically what they're going to do about it so she had some strong words for them and their actions as to how they treated these employees these employees can certainly feel like they've been backed up by the law so who is behind this entire complaint who actually i filed a complaint. well it was several workers back in april 2017 they filed that they were the ones that that tesla facility in fremont and with the help of the international united automobile workers union they were all part of this law this complaint so according to court documents the workers had raised concerns about safety at tesla facilities below market wages long working hours lawyers representing these workers and the unions say tesla has threatened them when they were trying to unionize and restrict their right to speak about it for themselves so employees accuse the company of using security guards in fact to stop them from handing out union flyers at the car plant they would then photograph their badges

and order them off property so these were threatening gestures that the judge said had to stop and employees were also banned from handing out any materials that were not improved pre-approved by tesla and even instituted a stricter dress code after employees began wearing shirts with the union logo so in a number of ways according to the complaint they really cracked down on these employees and the judge again backed them up for that molly barrows control. you so much for being here. thanks christie. and finally the idea of the british parliament as a group of chimpanzees doesn't seem like that much of a stretch these days considering the devolving discourse in the parliament as the u.k. careens toward a no deal brock's it no secret of british artist banksy as thought the thought up the exact scenario for his previous 2009 work devolved parliament which will go up for auction this week with an expected sale price of 2 to 2500000 the piece which
