"Less than a year to a Li bounce" - and how low will GXY be by then

Yes, I agree that Trump will want a trade deal with China before next year's election. The funny thing is the other month he said he was in no rush for a trade deal and then the other day he said China was moving too slowly. He's a great tactician. Read his book - The Art of the Deal. The problem for him is that China knows he wants a deal before the election and will drag it out waiting for a better deal.

The democrat candidates are as hopeless as a wet hanky, but surely even they can score some points with a non-trade deal. If there's no deal by this time next year, all China exports to USA will be taxed at 25%. It's going to be hard for Trump to argue that China is paying the tax and the average American isn't affected by it.
