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.

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.

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.
