Why Pivoting Matters

In a recession, consumer spending declines, businesses tighten budgets, and markets grow uncertain.

The companies that thrive during these times are usually tied to essential goods and services or long-term growth industries. By strategically reallocating your investments and saving more cash by limiting the amount you invest each month, you can simultaneously protect your portfolio and position yourself to buy great companies at lower prices.

China’s Central Bank

Simplified explanation:

  • China's central bank (like the U.S. Federal Reserve) usually buys treasury bonds (government debt) to pump money into their economy. This keeps the economy stable and growing.

  • Suspending these purchases means they’re no longer adding money to the system, which can slow the economy down further.

The term "deflationary crisis" means prices are dropping instead of rising. While that sounds good, it’s bad for the economy because businesses make less money, which can lead to layoffs and less spending overall.

So, this news suggests China’s economic problems are getting worse.
