🇺🇸 Where America Really Buys From?

• Asia ≈ $1.4T (42% of total US goods imports)

• North America ≈ $918B (27%)

• Europe ≈ $840B (25%)

#China alone is $308B
#Mexico $535B and #Canada $383B

But If trade tensions rise again, the impact will not be isolated.

It will ripple across Asia 1st.
Then North America.
Then Europe.

Israeli Broadcasting Authority reports that 12 American F-22 fighter jets have landed in Israel, marking the first time the U.S. has deployed F-22 Raptors to the country.

All signs point to Iran having a new Chemical Weapon derived from pharmaceuticals.

What's even worse, it looks like Iran has the warheads capable of carrying this new chemical weapon on Iranian Ballistic Missiles.

Same story, different era.

China’s playbook to make the yuan the world’s reserve currency:

- Force big banks to settle more cross-border trade in yuan
- Promote cheap, subsidized yuan-denominated loans and bonds offshore
- Make yuan easily accessible through offshore hubs like Hong Kong
- Expand the CIPS payment system as an alternative to SWIFT
- Offer yuan-to-gold convertibility

History shows that when China targets an industry, it scales, subsidizes, and dominates. The currency market is simply the next frontier. If the yuan gains meaningful reserve status, it directly threatens the foundation of US power: the dollar.

The reserve currency privilege allows the US to run persistent deficits without immediate consequences.

Remove that privilege, and the math changes.... No reserve status means no unlimited deficits.

That is not just economic pressure, it is an existential threat.

Expect significant volatility and desperate measures from the US.

😊 📋 Latest Important Headlines — Market Snapshot

🟢 ✅ US / Trump & Markets
🔖 Trump's State of the Union pushes tariff talk to the forefront — markets digest prospects of new tariffs as speech fuels volatility: Dollar slipped after the address while safe-haven flows lift gold. Treasury yields remain firm on a hawkish Fed outlook; 10‑yr yields stabilizing as investors price policy path.

🔵 🔖 Australia — Hot CPI, AUD Strength
📌 Australia Jan CPI +0.4% MoM, RBA core measures (trimmed mean & weighted median) +0.3% — core inflation at 16‑month high. Markets ramp up May rate‑hike bets, Aussie rises and 10‑yr yields climb; equities hit record highs but CPI clips bank gains.

🟡 📌 Japan / Yen
✅ Yen under pressure amid BoJ policy uncertainty and political signals; yen weakness supports exporters and keeps FX volatility elevated.

🟠 📋 China / Commodities & Yuan
🔖 Offshore yuan strongest since 2023 as activity resumes; iron ore rallies on revived Chinese demand — positive for EM commodity flows and Asian risk assets.

🔴 🔖 Europe — Growth & Inflation Divergence
📌 Germany Q4 GDP +0.3% and signs of momentum, but consumer confidence darkens amid geopolitics. Euro area inflation confirmed at a 16‑month low — ECB pricing remains nuanced as equities trend higher.

🟣 📋 UK & Switzerland
✅ UK housing listings surge as mortgage costs ease and prices stabilize — housing sector showing resilience. Swiss investor confidence rebounds on steady rate expectations.

🟤 🔖 Canada — Macro Outlook
📌 Bank of Montreal sees US rates easing in 2026, expects Bank of Canada to hold policy steady in 2026; modest Canada GDP and ~2.5% CPI for 2026 priced into markets.

🟩 📋 Global Risk Sentiment
✅ Gold + safe havens on tariff uncertainty; EM stocks and FX at highs in places as risk-on flows persist. Bitcoin steadies near $65k amid equity rebounds and whale accumulation.

🟦 🔖 Other notable briefs
📌 Australian construction unexpectedly down in Q4; Thai central bank surprises with a rate cut (regional divergence). EU firms (e.g., BMW talks on China tariff exemptions) navigating trade/tariff shifts.

Bottom line: Tariff rhetoric from the US is the main cross‑market volatility driver — boosting gold and weighing on the dollar at times — while Australia’s hotter inflation reignites RBA rate‑hike bets and global risk flows favour commodities and EM FX.

Latest Important Headlines — Forex & Macro Brief

📋 ✅ US Mortgage Rates Move Lower
Key market signal for housing, consumers, and rate-sensitive FX pairs.
30‑yr fixed: 6.09% (week to Feb 20) — down 8 bps vs. last week, 15 bps lower vs prior reading. 

🔖 US 5‑Year ARM Drops Sharply
5‑yr ARM: 5.23% — down 6 bps wk/wk and 33 bps vs earlier period. Implication: shorter‑term borrowing eases, supporting mortgage activity and household cashflows.

📌 Mortgage Purchase Activity Weakens
MBA Purchase Index: -4.7% (week); -22.6% vs 4 weeks ago but +13.1% vs 1 year. Interpretation: near‑term demand softening, yet still above year‑ago—mixed signal for consumption and housing‑sensitive FX (AUD, CAD, NZD).

📋 Refinance Demand Surges YoY
MBA Refinance Index: +4.1% (week); +7.6% vs 4 weeks, +150.3% vs 1 year. Big YoY rebound likely from lower short‑term rates and ARM movements — supports US consumer liquidity and risk‑on flows.

✅ World Trade Rose in 2025 Despite Tariffs
Broad global demand backdrop — relevant for export‑dependent economies and commodity currencies.
Global trade rebound suggests resilience in goods flows, cushioning growth outlook for Europe, Asia, and commodity exporters (Australia, Canada, Brazil). Positive for cyclical FX and global risk appetite.

Market Implications (concise)
- Lower mortgage rates and stronger refinancing boost US household liquidity → potential mild USD weakness if risk‑on sentiment rises. 
- Softening purchase index warns of uneven housing activity → domestically mixed growth signals. 
- Strength in world trade supports global growth outlook → favors cyclical/emerging FX and risk assets. 

Watchlist
- US housing data and Fed commentary for policy reaction. 
- FX: USD vs AUD/CAD/NZD/JPY on risk sentiment and commodity prices. 
- Trade flows and tariff developments for EUR/GBP/JPY exposure.
