The charts that matter: China’s scepticism on Trump

With China sceptical of getting a trade deal out of Donald Trump, John Stepek looks at how that affects the charts that matter most to the global economy.

I keep telling you to get hold of your ticket for the MoneyWeek Wealth Summit. Now that we're facing a general election the cherry on the cake, as it were I think it's even more important that you come along.

There are so many fantastic investment experts coming Gillian Tett of the FT (yes, that Gillian Tett, the one who actually pointed out that 2008 was coming and that subprime mortgages were a big problem before it all went pear-shaped), James Anderson (a man who has made many MoneyWeek readers a great deal of money indeed via Scottish Mortgage Trust), and the frankly brilliant Russell Napier, one of the most interesting investment strategists on the planet.

John Stepek is a senior reporter at Bloomberg News and a former editor of MoneyWeek magazine. He graduated from Strathclyde University with a degree in psychology in 1996 and has always been fascinated by the gap between the way the market works in theory and the way it works in practice, and by how our deep-rooted instincts work against our best interests as investors.

He started out in journalism by writing articles about the specific business challenges facing family firms. In 2003, he took a job on the finance desk of Teletext, where he spent two years covering the markets and breaking financial news.

His work has been published in Families in Business, Shares magazine, Spear's Magazine, The Sunday Times, and The Spectator among others. He has also appeared as an expert commentator on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Radio Scotland, Newsnight, Daily Politics and Bloomberg. His first book, on contrarian investing, The Sceptical Investor, was released in March 2019. You can follow John on Twitter at @john_stepek.
