You know better than I that it means that the supply chain spending of the manufacturing powerhouse of Europe is dropping off a cliff, reflecting the fact that they’ve been in effective recession for a while now.

The Hannover Fair might be interesting the week after next. :hehe:

Watch their next move to be to raise taxes. then welcome 3 million more migrants to distract.

Japan's 10 year yield went negative today as well.

You might be right, but my little insertion of the migrants seems to have distracted you from the rest of the post about the economic downturn. So it just might work. Maybe this time they can get the migrants from Norway and instruct them to commence raping and pillaging. VIKINGS SACK HAMBURG!
