China's GDP Growth In 2018 Was Lowest Since 1990
The latest round of economic data from China showed the country's economy grew at just 6.6 percent last year, which marks the slowest pace seen since 1990. Is The Economy Contracting? Xiang Songzuo, a university professor in Beijing, estimated in December China's economy at most grew just 1.67 percent and left the possibility open that the economy even contracted. It's "brave" for Songzuo to claim the Chinese government added an extra 5 percentage points to its official economic growth numbers although his stance has been apparent for many years, Chang said.

China Said To Offer US Concessions To Eliminate Trade Imbalance
In an effort to restore its economic relationship with the U.S., China offered to ramp imports from the region by more than $1 trillion over the next six years, according to a Friday Bloomberg report. The rate would slowly reduce its trade surplus and completely eliminate the imbalance by 2024. The conciliatory offer, if true, is meant to appease U.S. officials aggravated by what they perceive to be an unfair trade arrangement.

Jim Cramer Suggests Nervous Investors Buy Gold Now
Jim Cramer Suggests Nervous Investors Buy Gold Now ## Cramer suggests adding gold Mad Money host Jim Cramer is advising investors to invest in gold (IAU) if they’re concerned about the Fed’s interest rate policy and the trade conflict between the US (SPY) (IVV) and China (FXI). Cramer said, “If you’re looking for an insurance policy against volatility and economic uncertainty, gold is a great way to go.” He added, “While I like the stock market here, as you know, now that the Fed has decided to be more patient, the whole point of diversification is to be prepared in case something goes wrong … and your thesis doesn’t pan out.” Read Bulls versus Bears on Wall Street: Time to Buy Gold in 2019? for major analysts’ take on the gold price outlook in 2019. ## What should investors buy? However, Cramer doesn’t recommend buying the actual metal. Instead, he recommends direct exposure through the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which is the largest gold-backed ETF. He thinks that GLD and other gold mining ETFs (GDX) (NUGT) reduce risk and inconvenience. In addition to GLD, Cramer also recommends a high-quality gold producer like Barrick Gold (GOLD). Recently, Barrick Gold and Randgold Resources’ merger was finalized, which canceled Randgold’s London listing. ## Barrick-Randgold merger created a mining behemoth Regarding the Barrick Gold and Randgold Resources merger, Cramer likes the merged company. He said, “The company has the lowest total cash costs among its peers — I like that — [and] it has a nicely diversified portfolio of assets across the world — I love that.” Read Is Barrick Worth a Look after Its Merger with Randgold? for more details on the new company’s operating metrics and its outlook after the merger.

Copper’s Diagnosis: How Severe Is China’s Slowdown?
Copper's Diagnosis: How Severe Is China’s Slowdown? ## China’s slowdown China’s slowdown appears to be the biggest challenge for global markets. The country’s slowdown has been amplified by the trade war with the US (SPY). Several indicators, including automotive sales, have pointed to a deeper slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy. What do China’s copper imports tell us about its economy? China (FXI) doesn’t have enough copper reserves. However, China is the largest copper importer. The country’s copper imports are seen as a leading indicator of its copper demand and economic activity. ## Imports fell In December, China imported 429,000 metric tons of unwrought copper. The imports fell 4.7% YoY (year-over-year) and were also lower on a sequential basis. China’s unwrought copper imports have fallen on a yearly basis for two consecutive months. China’s copper ore and concentrate imports fell to 1.46 million metric tons in December from 1.7 million tons in November. The imports also fell 11.5% YoY. In December, the imports were at the lowest level since February. ## Analysis The fiscal 2018 picture looks strong. Unwrought copper and copper ore imports rose on a yearly basis. However, what we’ve seen over the last few months is a slowdown in China’s copper imports. So far, leading copper miners including Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) have maintained that the underlying demand from China has been strong. However, falling Chinese copper imports might persuade copper miners to tone down their expectations for China’s copper demand (BABA). Apple (AAPL) also lowered its revenue forecast due to the slowdown in China’s sales. Read Why China Might Need a New Economic Model Now for more analysis of China’s slowdown.

To stimulate demand in the slowing economy, China’s central bank cut the RRR four times in 2019. Prior to the central bank’s decision to cut the RRR, China’s premier Li Keqiang has urged the central bank to cut the reserve requirements.
Market Realist•12 days agoChina: Why Even 6% Growth Looks Tough in 2019
Concerns about China’s economy have been a major risk for global markets. Last week, Apple (AAPL) lowered its revenue forecast due to the slowdown in China. The economy grew at an annualized pace of 6.5% in the third quarter, which is the slowest expansion rate since 2009. On January 11, Reuters reported that “China plans to set a lower economic growth target of 6-6.5 percent in 2019.” Lower economic growth isn’t really a surprise.
