Key quotes
“Our great Farmers will recieve (sic) another major round of ‘cash,’ compliments of China Tariffs, prior to Thanksgiving.”
“The smaller farms and farmers will be big beneficiaries. In the meantime, and as you may have noticed, China is starting to buy big again. Japan deal DONE. Enjoy!”

This adds to the market’s recent trade positive sentiment which relies mainly on the US-China story. As a result, Antipodeans will have a good time while the safe-havens might have to witness further weakness.
