"The Adrian Report" on BLACK MONDAY, January 21, 2008, Martin Luther
King Jr. Day ... Wall Street sleeps....

culled from the notes of Andrew Meyer, CUNY professor, NYC

ARM mortgage loans -- Analysts fear that a wave of defaults could
create a vicious cycle of foreclosures and fire-sale liquidations that
would bleed U.S. real estate markets of massive equity.

While this situation is well reported, little has been said about its
link to Chinese fiscal policy and U.S.-China trade relations. A
disasterous Chinese-U.S. trade imbalance is married to the growing
crisis of sub-prime mortgages meltdowns. China's foreign currency
reserves have grown to 1.2 trillion dollars U.S. The reasons for this
mounting pile of cash are well-understood: China has kept the value of
the Renminbi (RMB) relative to the dollar artificially low so as to
keep prices in China low and spur employment and economic growth.
