She explains that sometimes our own thoughts can hold us back, especially if we tend to dwell on negative events, insecurities, and self-doubt. Morin says it's important to confront thoughts like "I'm not good enough" or "I'm too damaged," and replace them with self-empathy by instead saying "I am worth it" or "I'm a survivor."

The successes of the Fed’s dollar-swap lines

ICYMI: THE FEDERAL RESERVE steadfastly refuses to view itself as the world’s central bank, which is a pity, because it is becoming quite good at the job. One sign of its success is the stabilisation of the world’s reserve currency. The dollar spiked by over 8% against a basket of six other widely traded currencies between March 9th and 20th, as covid-19 panicked investors. But now the greenback is roughly back to where it was at the beginning of the year. Central banks usually concern themselves with their own country’s money supply, which is chiefly composed of depositors’ claims on the country’s banks. But the supply of dollars extends far beyond national boundaries. Last year, banks outside America’s jurisdiction had dollar liabilities worth over $10trn, reckon Iñaki Aldasoro and Torsten Ehlers of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). To fund themselves, these banks rely heavily on selling short-term dollar liabilities, including certificates of deposit and commercial pap

Trump's trade appeals to China still left farmers reeling

Image
WASHINGTON (NYTIMES) - Within two years of US President Donald Trump taking office, one of his key political constituencies - America's farmers - was reeling from his trade war with China. Trump had waged his fight to try to eliminate the trade deficit with China and bring manufacturing back to the United States. But American farmers - among the country's largest exporters and a key part of the president's political base - soon became collateral damage in that effort. Soybean, dairy and pig farmers saw their businesses dry up as the world's most populous nation aimed for Mr Trump's weak spot, putting tariffs on more than US$70 billion (S$97.82 billion) of US products in retaliation for his decision to tax billions of dollars' worth of Chinese goods. Mr Trump has vociferously defended his approach, saying that any short-term pain farmers experienced would be worth it once he forced China to rewrite the terms of trade in America's favour. But a new book b
