ML-Implode News - Prepare for a Chinese Maxi-devaluation - Rickards (BIG IMPLICATIONS FOR US STOCKS!!)

Since the impossible trinity really is impossible in the long-run, and since China's current solutions are non-sustainable, what can China do to solve its policy trilemma? The most obvious course, and the one likely to be implemented, is a maxi-devaluation of the yuan to around the 7.95 level or lower.
...
There are early signs that this policy of devaluation is already being put into place. The yuan has dropped sharply in the past month from 6.45 to 6.62. This resembles the stealth devaluation of late 2015, but is somewhat more aggressive... Once the National Party Congress is over in late October, President Xi will have secured his political ambitions and will no longer find it necessary to avoid rocking the boat.
...
Both Trump and Xi are readying a "gloves off" approach to a trade war and renewed currency war. A maxi-devaluation of the yuan is Xi's most potent weapon.

Finally, China's internal contradictions are catching up with it. China has to confront an insolvent banking system, a real estate bubble, and a $1 trillion wealth management product Ponzi scheme that is starting to fall apart.

A much weaker yuan would give China some policy space in terms of using its reserves to paper over some of these problems. Less dramatic devaluations of the yuan led to U.S. stock market crashes. What does a new maxi-devaluation portend for U.S. stocks?
