Yowza. This is escalating fast. It seems almost besides the point to say that in this cast the US is actually on the wrong side. China *was* a currency manipulator back in 2010-11. But at this point if anything it's keeping the renminbi artificially high https://t.co/AiL7ewEXUz — PolitiTweet.org

"It is, I suspect, the greater risk of catastrophic medium-run outcomes, rather than the proximate impact of trade conflicts, that is driving the outsize market reactions to trade negotiation news." Basically investors are starting to sense that Trump and Xi are out of control 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The trade news has been bad. But 3% decline in stocks, worst yield curve inversion in a very long time, bad? Larry Summers actually had a perceptive piece arguing that markets are taking trade policy as a signal of potentially much worse conflict 1/ https://t.co/Yhyy54giTh — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say that China was supporting its currency before — the manipulation was keeping the yuan up, not down. The policy change is letting market forces matter more, not less. Still a big deal, but u should get the story right 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is already screaming "currency manipulation" about the drop in the renminbi. But he just slapped a bunch of new tariffs on China. What did he expect to happen to the currency? Consider what the prospect of hard Brexit has done to the pound 1/ https://t.co/N670SOy2p5 https://t.co/FNd5fXp4yd — PolitiTweet.org

Markets! Tomorrow's column will be about El Paso, because there's important stuff nobody is saying. But my warning over the weekend that "Other countries will retaliate, and this will get very ugly, very fast" seems to be happening ahead of schedule https://t.co/sX3QsdMV8z — PolitiTweet.org
