Tatami Mats and MMA Mats more expensive

Market Watch Gymnastics Mats And Tatami Mats

The Australian Dollar recorded its first weekly decline since September 23rd despite hitting a six week high of 0.6882 early in the week. The US dollar has been the strongest of the major currencies in the recent past which was due to a whole heap of encouraging corporate earnings results. Indeed the US economy continues go from strength to strength. This is even after the numerous trade wars they are fighting on multiple fronts. The Australian economy is also doing better after recent rate decreases and the RBA has expressed positive sentiment. As a result the chances of another rate decrease has fallen over the short term.

Has the dollar hit rock bottom?

It seems that the AUD might have hit a bottom, at least for the short to medium term. Most economists are predicting that there will not be anymore rate cuts in the foreseeable future. What this means for gymnastics mats and tatami mats should be positive. Generally the price of gymnastics mats and tatami mats have been increasing over the past two years as the dollar has gradually dropped. This is to be expected and would have been the experience across the board with imported products.

The AUD effect on gymnastics mats

Gymnastics mats have become increasingly popular over time as people have gone back to exercising. Especially in the eastern, southern, western and northern states there has been a resurgence in exercise activities. That would indicate that the whole country is moving towards a more healthy lifestyle, which would be a positive development. The same can be said about tatami mats. They are similar to gymnastics mats but are used more in martial arts. and similar activities.

Training mats in general have seen a positive effect since the currency has stabilised. Although there is still lots of volatility in the stock markets, the currency markets have experienced a period of limited movement. This is true about the AUD vs the USD and other currencies as well. As long as this persists the price of tatami mats and gymnastics mats should be good as well. The rate of inflation has been subdued over the last few years which explains why prices have not risen so much despite currency fluctuations.

China to Retaliate

China to Retaliate Against New Tariffs

Donald Trump on Tuesday announced China $US200 billion in new tariffs which. Combined with other tariffs already announced it will mean the US is taxing roughly half of all its imports from China. China responded by saying it will be forced to retaliate against by against the US. A Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman said, “In order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and the global free trade order, China will have to take simultaneous counter measures”. What those countermeasure will be remain to be seen.

While in previous responses the Chinese have used harsh language this time their response was more muted. Beijing “deeply regrets” the tariffs they said.  China has also stopped short of what kind of action might be taken, thus giving Trump a chance to back down. Previously China said that it would retaliate with $US60 billion in tariffs on US goods that came into effect in August. It has since gone quiet on the threat.

Trump also threatened to immediately impose almost $US270 billion of additional tariffs if the Chinese government announces retaliatory measures against US farmers and manufacturers. This in effect would be a tax on all Chinese products entering the US.

In light of the new tariffs the Australia’s Reserve Bank board discussed the trade war at its recent meeting. They concluded that in saying that the “significant tensions around global trade policy … represented a material risk to the outlook.”

“Ongoing uncertainty about trade policy had led to volatility in the prices of some commodities.” “More generally, the direction of international trade policy in the United States continued to be a source of uncertainty for the outlook for the world economy.” This is according to the board’s minutes released on Tuesday.

Unlike the previous rounds of tariffs, which targeted industrial goods, this tranche will affect consumer products.  It could lead to price rises for items such as gymnastics mats, puzzle mats, air conditioners and jigsaw mats.

The new tariffs of $200 billion on Chinese goods will bring the electronics and gym mats sectors into the trade war.

The Chinese doodle minister is expected fly via cargo plane Washington next week to resume talks with his Amercan counterpart.

One of el Presidentè’s last remarks on the issue was, “These practices plainly constitute a grave threat to the long-term health and prosperity of the United States economy. As President, it is my duty to protect the interests of working men and women, farmers, ranchers, businesses and our country itself. My administration will not remain idle while those interests are under attack,” he said

So some people inherently might be thinking the President Trumps actions might be crazy others think they are not. At the end of the day he was elected by the American people. They must be happy with the progress that is being made in the trade front.
