The global currency war entered a new and critical phase on Tuesday as China’s surprise devaluation threatened to unleash a wave of competitive devaluations and keep monetary policy around the world looser for longer – perhaps even forcing the U.S. Federal Reserve to delay or slow its expected rate rise cycle.

China’s shock move is scorching through every asset class — commodities, currencies and exporters are all tumbling on fears the world’s second-biggest economy is headed for a deep slowdown. Read on

‘Currency wars’, a phrase used by Brazil’s former finance minister Guido Mantega in 2010 to describe how competing countries explicitly or implicitly weaken their exchange rates to boost exports and gain trade advantage, have intensified in recent years.

You sound like a broken exhaust pipe from a motorcycle. It's loud but not effective. :omghaha:

I'm actually moving to Texas in the future to create more jobs for America.

What about the US bonds, has the Chinese government sold some of them?
