Brics, page-27

I think it is worth noting the contrast in the quality and purpose of words used by Xi Jinping in his speech at the BRICS summit and then Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole.

Xi Jinping - "One flower alone cannot make a beautiful spring; only blossoming of a rich variety of flowers can bring spring to the global garden" and
"I am glad to note that over 20 countries are knocking on the door of BRICS. China hopes to see more joining the BRICS"

Beautiful word, inclusive words.

Powell - "As is often the case, we are navigating by the stars under cloudy skies"

Gloomy and inward focused. Adam Button, head of currency strategy at Forexlive.com, described Powell's comments as "a bit of a dud."
