Global predications for the Year of the Monkey

America in 2016

It is predicted that the internal economy and gross domestic product of America will gradually increase. The unemployment rate will be under 6.5. Vehicle and real estate trading will tend to be stable or even active. The retail and consumer markets will start to recover in the middle of the year. The value of the US dollar will keep rising by 2-3% comparing with the previous year and become one of the most essential international currencies. However, the rise of US dollar will protract the recovery of its economy.In the political arena, the president will have a growing discrepancy of opinion with the councilors, especially on the strategic decision of exterminating ISIS and the foreign policy and diplomacy set for Russia, China and Taiwan. The social status of Obama still remains stable but there is a drop in the reputation and the support of the citizens. It is possible for Hilary to substitute Obama and become the first female United States president. The climate of America will be unstable, for example, unusual change of weather will be found in the southwest and east region. Many economic experts state that America will have a huge economic adjustment, however, I predict that the financial status of America will rise obviously rather than dropping. In the first half of the year, Dow Jones index will be at 14000 to 16000 points. If you want to purchase American stock, May of the lunar calendar will be a relatively suitable chance for you to invest in electronic and high tech products, such as internet, finance, healthy food, medical and real estate industry. 

Canada in 2016

Due to the gradual recovery of America’s economy, Canada’s economy will also increase steadily but a bit inconsistently. GPD and economy growth will rise by 2 – 2.5%, and the unemployment rate will be at 6.5% or above. Canada will run up a debt despite the little surplus it has now. The value of Canada dollar is expected to continue dipping. Canada’s income will mainly come from electronic products, the telecommunications and medical industry, while the export of wood, paper, mineral and agricultural products will be weak. There will a polar economic difference between east and west Canada where the performance of the eastern region will be much better than the western region. For the real estate industry, the market of Vancouver will be more active than that of Toronto. Asian citizens and investors will emigrate from Canada due to the influence of a policy of report on foreign property ownership. The government of Canada will increase the tax base, which will affect the retail and consumer confidence, especially in British Columbia. Canadians should be prepared for natural and personal disasters, such as fire, robbery and traffic accidents. In British Columbia, teenage gun incidents and traffic accidents are expected to rise.

Central and South America in 2016

From 2015 to 2024, the countries of Central and South America, such as Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru and Chile will experience economic regression, devaluation of currency, deficit and inflation. Financial crisis will appear in the stock market, so investment in Central and South America is not recommended. Comparing with other countries, Mexico will have a rather stable recovery in the economy. Drought and earthquakes will appear in Central and South America

Europe in 2016

The economies of Germany and Britain will be better than other countries, like Greece, Sprain, Portugal and France, in Europe. The value of Euro will still be low in the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, the stock market of Germany and France will gradually recover with the increase of 5-7%. In the rest of the year, the value of Euro will rise slightly.

China in 2016

Mainland China will have a huge change in many aspects, such as economic, political situation, leadership, the people’s livelihood and the policy of diplomacy. GDP will remain at 6.5 % while internal inflation will slightly increase at 5% or over. Despite the weakening in the retail and food industry, transport, energy, finance and insurance sectors, tourism will provide support to the Government as the main income. 
Beijing, Shanghai and the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong will lead and contribute much to China. The prospects of the real estate industry in Shanghai and Shenzhen will be excellent. There will be more natural disasters in China than the previous year. Drought will take place in the west and northwest part of China. Due to the influence of Mars, there will be a rise in influenza incidents, fraud cases, traffic accidents and robberies in China. The value of RMB will remain low because of the pressure of the western countries. It is predicted that RMB is unlikely to rise or drop significantly as it is well controlled by the Chinese government. The trading between China and Hong Kong will be strengthened. The prospect of China will be excellent with the detailed long-term planning and the efforts of Chinese citizens.

Taiwan in 2016

The fate of Taiwan will be unstable due to the influence of inauspicious planets. With the economic regression, more of the industries of Taiwan will move to China. The market and public security will become poor. Citizens should not invest and trade blindly. The will be natural disasters in Taiwan, such as earthquakes, typhoons and floods in the Spring and Summer. There will still be conflicts between China and Taiwan, however, this dispute will not turn into war.

Southeast Asia in 2016

The economy of Southeast Asia will recover slowly. India and Singapore will be active in financial activities. The economic situation of Japan and Indonesia will have a great improvement. On the other hand, the economy of Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippine and Pakistan will be relatively weak. The stock of Singaporean and Japanese industrial and electronic products will be a good choice for investors who are interested in Southeast Asian stock market.

Hong Kong in 2016

Generally, Hong Kong will get the benefit from the shelter of lucky stars, however, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong will face political scandals and the threat of being dismissed from his post. In 2016, the main source of profit will come from industries related to metal and water. The element of metal, however, is slightly unfavorable to the fate of Hong Kong, so the benefit gained is limited to a few of the metal and steel industries. The government will lack authoritative leadership and the ability to manage the society and social issues.
In 2016, more and more mainlanders will come to Hong Kong for shopping and buying houses In the coming 3-5 years, Hong Kong is likely to be an important International Trade Centre due to the outstanding performance of logistics and international trade exhibitions. It will be a challenging year for politicians and there will be fierce disputes with each other about policies. The government will continue to lose the support of citizens because of inefficient policies, poor management and other political factors. The year of Monkey will favor the stock srelated to the element of fire and earth for long-term investment, for example, the stock of finance, insurance, telecommunications and retail.
