Elizabeth Warren: tougher than Trump on China?

AsCCN previously reported, investors see Warren’s policies as bearish for the US stock market. But there’s another issue at play. According to one analyst, Warren could prolong the US-China trade war.

“The Chinese, they would like to wait out President Trump… they may be miscalculating because if they get a President Elizabeth Warren, she’s probably going to be even tougher than Trump” –Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Phoenix Financial Services.

In his view, Xi Jinping would be better off making a speedy deal with Donald Trump than delay in hopes of a Democratic White House. Kaufman thinks Warren will come down harder on China for one simple reason:

“Warren will go after them in a worse way because of climate change. She’s a big, big climate change person. China is the biggest polluter in the world so the Chinese may want to deal with Mr. Trump. ”

Dow in wait-and-see mode ahead of Thursday

As the Democratic campaign weighs on investors’ minds, the next big catalyst is Trump’s trade summit with China. A delegation lead by Chinese Vice President Liu He will touch down in Washington DC on Thursday for the latest round of negotiations.

Early signs point to more deadlock as China refuses to back down ontwo key issues. Liu He said the country is unwilling to move on industrial policy or government subsidies. Seemingly in retaliation, the USblacklisted eight Chinese technology firms, throwing more uncertainty into the mix.
