Off The Cuff: China's Warning Shot

Off The Cuff: China's Warning Shot

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:

  • China's Warning Shot
    • The recent Treasury gambit is classic geopolitics
  • Downdraft Risk
    • Will it be possible to avoid a crash in 2018?
  • Real Estate Is Looking Vulnerable
    • Key markets are running out of buyers
  • Rising Oil Prices
    • A major candidate for the pin to pop this bubble
