Thursday, May 9, 11:00 AM Global X sets for May 15 reverse splits on 6 ETFs, some - but not all of which - have dropped sharply in value over the last year: 1-for-4 on the Gold Explorers ETF (GLDX), 1-for-3 on the Uranium ETF (URA), 1-for-3 on the Junior Miners ETF (JUNR), 1-for-2 on the Argentina 20 ETF (ARGT), 1-for-2 on the China Materials ETF (CHIM), and 1-for-2 on the Pure Gold Miners ETF (GGGG). Comment!
Monday, August 13, 2012, 7:30 AM Highlighting China's economic weakness are metals - of 22 at Changjiang's Nonferrous Metals Market, just 2 are higher in price this year. (chart via Bloomberg's Michael McDonough) Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 3:28 AM Profits at Chinese state-owned enterprises fell 11.6% in H1 to 1.02T yuan ($160B), the Ministry of Finance said late yesterday. Private companies are likely to follow suit. Analysts warn investors should be bracing for a hard landing for Chinese stocks, with a big fall likely in H1 corporate profits and outright losses possible for companies in the materials sector (ETF: CHIM), including steel and petrochemical producers. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, May 31, 2012, 1:25 AM Chinese stocks will keep rising, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index poised to add 15% by year-end as slowing inflation gives the government room to loosen monetary policy and allows for bank lending to pick up, according to Beijing Gao Hua Securities Co, Goldman Sachs' China partner. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, May 24, 2012, 8:02 AM The majority of steel mills in northern China have halted production, according to an analyst in the coal-trade business, putting more meat behind an earlier story about iron ore and coking coal buyers attempting to back away from orders. Not surprisingly, electricity producers are seeing their own stockpiles of coal grow due to slumping demand for juice. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:08 AM Construction activity appears to have picked up a bit over the past months in China, according to a Standard Chartered Survey. Yet looking at a chart of sharply rising property inventory, one wonders if that's a good thing. As for 2012's big stimulus - social housing - survey respondents believe little if any of these projects are actually new. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 8:01 AM Profit estimates for Chinese firms remain "far too optimistic," says SocGen, seizing on the report that Y/Y industrial profits shrank in the year's first 2 months. Among the losers in Shanghai's 2.7% plunge last night: Alum. Corp. of China (ACH) -5.8% and Jiangxi Copper JIXAY.PK) -5.5%. FXI -0.3% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, December 27, 2011, 9:45 AM Against a late year rally that has brought U.S. shares to a 5-month high are continuing declines in China, with a 1.1% fall last night bringing the month's losses to 7.2% and the Shanghai Composite to its lowest close since March 2009. Among the losers was Anhui Conch, the country's largest cement maker, -2.4% for the session and 47% YTD amidst mass overcapacity in the sector. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, December 19, 2011, 4:36 PM There's a bull market in planned analyst trips to China as suspicions grow it may be the next global crisis spot. With spotty official data, hedge funds are racing to get feet on the ground to complete the picture there. Are they late? Hugh Hendry - who chronicled China's empty skyscrapers and malls in 2009 - is up 52% this year in his "short China" credit fund. Shanghai's A share index is off nearly 25%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, December 19, 2011, 8:06 AM A remarkable study from Bloomberg finds China's debt dwarfs what are already high official figures, and the slowdown in credit creation engineered by Beijing this year is a myth. With cash flows for many infrastructure projects coming nowhere near enough to service the debt, entities are completely reliant on being able to roll over loans to stay above water: China's "treadmill to hell," as described by Jim Chanos months ago. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, December 15, 2011, 2:21 AM China's exporters will face "very severe" conditions in Q1 2012, says the country's Commerce Ministry. "The overall trade environment next year for China will be complicated, partly due to the economic uncertainties in the European countries." Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, November 17, 2011, 1:25 PM Minyanville sees the case of Heineken's (HINKY.PK) foray into China as a cautionary tale for firms thinking about betting big in the nation. The brewer entered the beer market 1988 by buying into the dominant player. Trouble is: Chinese consumers don't like bitter beer, so Heineken's market share fell flat. Could the same consumer peaking process happen to MCD, KO, Pizza Hut/KFC, and other U.S. firms as they pour investments into expansion in China? 3 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 8:03 AM Treasury rates are shooting higher again - the 10 year back to August levels at 2.22%. The world may be changing, and it's not about Europe. China looks to be moving into easing mode - buying bank shares, lifting property restrictions, and trying to make credit more available. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
Monday, October 10, 2011, 8:15 AM Of the Chinese bank stock buys, the folks at beyondbrics note the last time China stepped in to buy the lenders was September 2008 - the stock market bottomed shortly afterwards. Off 28% this year, a popular China ETF, FXI is +2.3% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, October 4, 2011, 11:53 AM Standard Chartered's Stephen Green brushes off concerns of a hard-landing in China, saying authorities have plenty of room to ease policy. Green disagrees with the China-is-overbuilt meme, saying infrastructure projects are still necessary across the country. "China today is Japan circa 1970, not 1989." 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Monday, October 3, 2011, 5:33 PM Signs of the crackup of an epic credit bubble are everywhere in China, reports Patrick Chovanec. From the runaway bosses of Wenzhou to the boom and bust of a small fishing village to a baby formula maker borrowing to get into the metals and infrastructure business, it may not be a crisis, but "something is happening. People... are right to be nervous." Comment! [Global & FX]
