Millions of Americans Expect to Lose Their Homes as Covid Rages

Europe:

The Low-Debt Era for Eastern Europe May Be Ending on Covid and 2008 Fallout

“There’s a shift taking place in the low-debt economies that joined the European Union after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. An aversion to borrowing that once characterized much of the bloc’s ex-communist contingent is being jettisoned following the 2008 global crash and the Covid-19 pandemic in little over a decade. Much of the region, which has led the continent’s economic growth for years and counts five euro-area members among its ranks, is now set to endure higher indebtedness for some time.”

Asia:

China’s Record Farm-Goods Spree May Still Miss Pledge to U.S.

“China is projected to once again to become the top U.S. agricultural export market this fiscal year — but it could still fall short of meeting its lofty trade commitments to the Trump administration. The Asian nation is expected to buy a record $27 billion worth of farm-related goods from the U.S. in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, the Department of Agriculture said in a report Monday. That’s $8.5 billion more than the agency projected in August, and would make China the biggest American agricultural market for the first time since fiscal 2017, before the trade war.”
