- Tuesday, April 2, 10:09 AM China's Industrial Bank - the world's largest by market value - bids for 20% of Taiwan's Bank of Sinopac in what would be the first mainland investment in a lender on the island. The partnership will open up China's vast market to Sinopac - which currently fights for business in what is considered an "overbanked" Taiwan. EWT +1.1%. Comment! [Financials, Global & FX]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 11:51 AM More details on iShares' ETF fee hikes: Going to 0.61% from 0.59% (a 3.4% hike) are its Chile Investable Market Fund (ECH), China Small Cap Fund (ECNS), Indonesia Investable Market Fund (EIDO), Israel Capped Investable Market Fund (EIS), Philippines Investable Market Fund (EPHE) , Poland Investable Market Fund (EPOL), All Peru Capped Fund (EPU), Taiwan Fund (EWT), South Korea Fund (EWY), Brazil Fund (EWZ), Brazil Small Cap Fund (EWZS), South Africa Fund (EZA), Thailand Investable Market Fund (THD) and Turkey Investable Market Fund (TUR). 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, September 20, 2012, 3:53 PM Laggards to the S&P for some time, might emerging markets ETFs benefit more from QE? U.S.-listed emerging market funds saw inflows of $3.3B in the days following the Fed's announcement vs. just $375M for the entire previous week. Broad funds like VWO and EEM saw the most share creations, but individual countries like Brazil (EWZ), China (FXI), Russia (RSX), and Taiwan (EWT) also saw sizable action. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 2:23 AM South Korea, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar failed to secure an upgrade from MSCI yesterday, with the former two retaining "emerging market" status and the latter two as "frontier" markets. Upgrades could potentially lure more of the $7T in investor assets that track the MSCI's indexes. All four remain under review for future upgrades. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 4:01 AM Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are likely to take Asia's biggest economic hit in the event of a Grexit or a eurozone collapse, writes Credit Suisse economist Robert Prior-Wandesforde, as those are the region’s most open or export-dependent economies. A Grexit could knock 2.2-2.3 percentage points off of GDP, while a eurozone implosion would shave off 4.6-6.7%. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 31, 2012, 12:59 PM More on the fund manager survey: Money flowing out of Brazil is moving elsewhere in Latin America as fund managers are overweight Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. Also popular are Taiwan and India. Countries underweight: China, Thailand, Russia South Korea, and Turkey. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 3:30 AM Taiwanese shares climbed the most in four weeks after the ruling party proposed a taxation system that would ease the burden on individual investors of the capital-gains tax. TAIEX +2.9%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 9:13 AM More on China's GDP: Q1 annualized growth dips to 7.4% from 7.8% in Q4 and below the government target of 7.5%. Consumption spending contributed 76% of the growth vs. a 10-year average of 42%. Real estate was the main drag with prices, floor space started, and floor space sold all in negative territory. 7 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:41 PM S&P 500 futures give up early evening gains following the weak Chinese GDP print, now -0.2%. The Hang Seng +1.6%. Shanghai flat. The biggest reaction is in the Aussie dollar, -0.4% to $1.0396. While the slow number may add to global economic concerns, it presumably opens the door a bit wider to a shot of monetary stimulus from Beijing. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 29, 2012, 7:50 AM In case anybody hasn't noticed - after a powerful start in 2012 - shares in Shanghai near correction status after another fall (1.4%) last night, bringing the decline in the A share index to 9.3% in a month. Predictably, analyst calls for Beijing to step in with a big policy easing are growing louder. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 22, 2012, 7:15 AM More on the weak China HSBC PMI: HSBC economist Hongbin Qu - who typically tries to spin a positive message from these reports - sounds gloomy. "Worryingly, employment recorded a new low from March 2009 ... external demand ... decline(d) at a slower pace, implying no improvements in the (domestic) demand outlook." (full report) 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Monday, February 27, 2012, 11:21 AM The entire Taiwanese banking sector is cut to sell at CLSA as the country faces the bursting of housing and tech bubbles. A decade of easy credit has led to oversupply in Dram, panels, LED, solar, and property, writes Dexter Hsu, but now credit is tightening, which "should accelerate the seasoning process." EWT +12.8% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
- Thursday, December 29, 2011, 5:47 AM As expected, Taiwan's central bank leaves its key interest rate unchanged at 1.875%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 2:18 AM Taiwan's benchmark index posts its biggest gain in more than two years, climbing 4.6%, after the government said it will let its National Stabilization Fund buy equities to support domestic markets. 1 Comment [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 12:59 PM As of the new year, Taiwan will allow Chinese banks to take up to 5% stakes in Taiwanese lenders, while non-bank investors are allowed as much as 10%. The move is made one month ahead of presidential elections in which the incumbent Ma Ying-jeou is in a tight race with an opponent who wants to go slower on economic ties with China. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
- Wednesday, November 2, 2011, 7:17 AM Bucking yesterday's and last night's sea of red, shares in China and Hong Kong stage massive reversals to close sharply higher. There was no particular piece of news, but China - which sat out much of the October equity party - is up 8 of the last 9 sessions. Shanghai +1.4%, Hong Kong +1.9%. Comment! [Global & FX]
