Monday, January 7, 3:00 PM For those interested in Chinese stocks, but wanting to state away from the state-owned mega caps favored by FXI or GXC, Dennis Hudacheck recommends the China Consumer ETF (CHIQ) and the Guggenheim China Small Cap ETF (HAO) - really more of a mid-cap fund. For true small cap exposure, there's the MSCI China Small Cap Fund (ECNS). Performance comparison. Comment! [Global & FX]
Sunday, September 9, 2012, 11:03 PM One-third of publicly listed Chinese companies suffered negative cash flow in Q2, according to the FT, as the slowdown spreads from construction, machinery and chemicals to those industries expected to lead the supposed rebalancing of the economy - retail, healthcare, electronics. While non-performing bank loans have yet to be affected by the cash crunch, those classified as overdue leapt 29%. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 2:57 AM China’s slowing economy faces significant downside risks and relies too much on investment, says the IMF in its annual review (.pdf), and the yuan is still "moderately" undervalued. The report urges China to boost consumption and to direct savings away from housing. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Thursday, July 5, 2012, 2:25 AM China's Beige Book, a new private survey of around 2,000 executives and bankers, shows retail sales and manufacturing strengthened last quarter, property sales increased, and 80% of retailers expect higher sales in six months, suggesting an economic pick-up not fully captured in China's official statistics. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 2:54 PM The most popular China ETF, FXI, is a play on a handful of the country's mega-cap state-owned businesses, with the big 4 banks making up 25% of the weighting. Still top-heavy with mega-caps, GXC and YAO hold a wider variety of stocks. Want to get completely away from the biggest firms? Try the small cap (HAO) or Consumer (CHIQ) ETFs. 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 17, 2012, 5:29 AM Chinese consumer confidence rose to a seven-year high in Q1, making China the world's fourth most optimistic nation, but that hasn't translated into increased consumer spending. In fact, China's discretionary spending has actually cooled as consumers opt to either save money or pay for education for their children. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Consumer]
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 4:47 AM China surpasses the U.S. as the world's top spender on food. China's supermarket sector was worth $970B in 2011, pushing past the U.S. sector's $913.5B value. China's grocery market is forecast to expand to nearly $1.46T by the end of 2014, driven by China's economic growth, an increase in its citizens' wealth and inflationary pressures. 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]
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]
Friday, June 17, 2011, 1:03 PM Contrarians may have interest in the increasing conviction of short-sellers of Chinese shares. One example: in Wednesday trade in Hong Kong, 1/5th of the turnover of Chinese bank stocks was shorted. "The divergence (between bulls and bears) has never been so huge," says an analyst. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
