The Larger Trade Picture

Cory

Marc Chandler, Head of Global Currency Strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman joins me to outline why he thinks the issues in Turkey are only a distraction from the overall trade wars picture. We look at the financial crisis of 97-98 and compare the similarities to what is happening now.

Note – Sorry for the poor quality of the call. Our connection was not very strong even after we tried a couple times to fix it. I have done my best to edit the interview to make it less broken up.

    Derivatives problem is the only reason why we should worry about Turkey.
    Turkey should never have become part of NATO, with its lack of democratic thought and history.
    It was just its location relative to Russia that caused that.

    Turkey has a large diaspora in Europe.

    NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter says it is suspending the account of the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for one week after he violated the company’s rules against inciting violence.

    The New York Times reports that Jones tweeted a link to a video calling for supporters to get their “battle rifles” ready against media and others.

    Jones won’t be able to tweet or retweet from his personal account for seven days, though he will be able to browse Twitter.

    Lstest Washington Rumor:
    Dianne Feinstein is a Spy for China – Julian Assange has the proof & will appear at Senate hearing.

    totally unverified, but time will tell.

    Meanwhile yet another person with knowledge of Clinton criminal behavior dies. This time she dies of a “seizure, but hitherto perfectly healthy!
