That's a good thing for you.

As I mentioned in another thread - there are plenty of experts who seem to think that rare earths are not the "ace card" China makes them out to be. And China presenting itself as an unreliable supply chain partner is only hastening the rise of other low cost labor manufacturing alternative...

China's Rare Earth Metals Aren't the Trade War Weapon Beijing Makes Them Out to Be May 29, Fortune Magazine China has a stranglehold on rare earth supplies. It could use that to throttle the U.S. That was the thinly-veiled threat President Xi Jinping sent during his first domestic trip since...

From Asia Times, May 28, 2019: The Japan Option "But the mid-term is full of more opportunities for the United States and the Trump administration has a chance to set the stage. The best chance is to partner with Japan. Japan has discovered huge deposits of rare earth materials at Minamitori...

"Chinese customs data show that the United States bought only 3.8 percent of China’s exports of rare-earth metals last year, far less than Japan, and also less than India, Italy or Spain." "The dilemma for Beijing lies in whether to jeopardize its central role in global supply chains by halting...

EIA Report: The US has a whole lotta Crude Oil and Natural Gas supply. Mega.

You are just like Trump. You're never wrong and you lash out even when presented with incontrovertible evidence that challenges your bilious claims.

Sure. Look at the huge case the EU filed against China specifically about IP theft and forced IP transfers. Filed in June 2018 and expanded in December 2018. This is language directly from the European Commission: "The European Union challenged today in the World Trade Organisation (WTO)...

CME lists a 81% margin credit offset using a 5:3 Delta. 3:2 is close - margin credit will be a smidge less percentage points. The difference between a 1.67 and a 1.5 hedge ratio. What many people don't realize is that if you are using a hedge ratio slightly different than what CME lists on...

Depends on the FCM - for CERTAIN the margin offset should show up the Daily Statement. Usually I’ll see a firm’s Risk Department assign more intraday buying power to a spread trader (Advantage routinely uses 4x) then the exact SPAN offset appears in the evening.pdf statement emailed to the client.
