3 Big Takeaways From The Arrest Of Huawei's CFO
Canadian authorities at the request of American law officials arrested Huawei's global CFO Wanzhou Meng for allegedly violating Iran sanctions. The timing of Meng's arrest could be seen as a "message to the Chinese as well as to Chinese companies" that the U.S. administration will enforce they "abide by certain standards" and they need to change certain practices the American administration sees as unfair, CNBC's Eunice Yoon reported. Josh Bolten, former Chief of Staff to U.S. President George W. Bush and now president of the Business Roundtable, told CNBC Thursday the "law of the land" prohibits international companies from certain interactions with Iran and the U.S. Justice Department has an obligation to enforce its policies.

Market Realist•5 days agoIs Jeffrey Gundlach’s Prediction on US Stock Markets Coming True?
On November 20, Jeffrey Gundlach told Reuters that investors haven’t shown an appetite for Treasuries (TLT) even though US stock markets have fallen. He said, “Obviously, it is not a deflationary bear market, otherwise you would have a bond rally.” Gundlach also advised investors to stay out of investment-grade bonds. Gundlach is concerned that the selling pressure in the US stock markets (IVV) (QQQ) wasn’t accompanied by higher volatility (VIX). Investors should note that the drop on December 4 was also accompanied by higher volumes and volatility.

Markets in Crisis (Cue the CNBC Armageddon Music)
Apple (AAPL) got a downgrade, and Cirrus Logic (one of Apple’s suppliers)(CRUS) pre-announced a miss for the December quarter. But most eyes were focused on the two-pronged trade war and rate move. Suddenly, the Dow (DIA) was down 800 points, and the Nasdaq (QQQ) dropped as much as 3%. The 10-yr treasury yield dropped as low as 2.88% today, down from a high of 3.24% a month ago. And the prevailing wisdom is that when 10-yr yield drops like that, it is foreshadowing lower economic growth ahead. Add that to the Fed still seemingly about to raise short term rates on Dec. 19th to 2.25%-2.5%, and we are very close to an inverted yield curve, which supposedly predicts recessions.
