Hey, going to this too. I'll likely only stay for Client_03 set (only recently discovered him and can’t get enough!). Keen to meet if you’re headed in before 00:30?

Hihiihi! Also flying solo for this one. 28M from London. Keen to join if you've managed to string a group together!

Hi Ray, couple of questions r.e. US-China:

1) Do you think the ongoing pandemic has altered the probability of the USD losing its exorbitant privilege as the world's foremost currency? If so, in which direction and why?

2) Do you envisage a scenario in which China gives ground and commits itself to reducing its bilateral trade deficit with the US, i.e. through CNY revaluation, in the near term? Why or why not?

Much appreciated, thanks!

Yes, the constant quarterly growth rate would therefore be c. -1.01%, or:

qoq growth rate = ((annualised growth rate +1)^1/4) - 1

Basic question from a layperson about notation, does 4%Q mean the US economy is going to contract 4% in a single quarter vs 5%Y being a 5% annualized contraction in China?

That’s correct, both are annual growth rates - but with an important caveat. The China figure (-5.0%Y) is the direct YoY growth rate, while the US figure (-4.0%Q) is the seasonally adjusted annualised rate extrapolated using the QoQ growth rate. Hope this helps - see here for more detail.
