- Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 9:35 AM Beijing approves reforms for the entrepreneurial hub of Wenzhou which hope to formalize the city's underground lending practices (shift profits from households and the mob to the banks!). Wenzhou suffered a credit crunch last year, with many business owners fleeing instead of facing the chance of broken kneecaps. (the saga) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 8:12 AM A slowdown in growth hits profits at the world's busiest container port, Shanghai International Port Group reporting a 12.8% Y/Y decline in profit for 2011. Container throughput grew "only" 9.2% last year and is expected to grow just 3.9% in 2012. 1 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, March 27, 2012, 6:59 AM Profits at Chinese industrial companies fell 5.2% Y/Y through the first 2 months of the year, reports the statistics bureau. "Clearly alarming," says economist Chang Jian, of the first drop since 2009. He expects only "measured" policy ease by a government still concerned about perky property. Shanghai fails to participate in the global stock rally, -0.2%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, March 26, 2012, 9:24 AM As concerns about a Chinese slowdown mount, the country's rising wages also have foreign investors on edge. Double-digit annual wage growth is now a fact of life for many firms, and consulting firm InterChina believes China's wages will surpass Mexico's in 5 years. Making matters worse are very high turnover rates, as workers prove happy to jump ship upon seeing a slightly better offer. (also) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Saturday, March 24, 2012, 4:51 PM Barron's Alan Abelson says China's showing unmistakable signs of economic fatigue. He joins JPMorgan's chief Asian strategist, Adrian Mowat, who is very concerned about the Chinese property market, and finds no evidence of policy moves that might reaccelerate the economy. 11 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 23, 2012, 12:18 PM The PBOC is creating credit ratings for local governments as they prepare to enter the previously prohibited municipal bond market. Curious is the hope bond issuance - as opposed to bank loans - will improve the debt situation. Call if a bond or call it a loan - either way it ends up as a liability for the local government and an asset on banks' books. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 23, 2012, 11:59 AM The risks to China's banks from local government loans are greater than thought as the country's banking regulator finds about 20% of loans have been misclassified as fully covered by cash flows. Properly accounting for them will mean lenders have to set aside greater reserves as well as demand more collateral from strapped governments. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Financials]
- Thursday, March 22, 2012, 11:12 AM While China's weak PMI number may be the spark that started today's sell off, shares in Shanghai and Hong Kong, ended last night flat to positive. Both markets have already suffered declines of about 5% in the last month on top of more significant drops in 2011. Perhaps the washout in shares has already occurred, says Doug Kass. 5 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- 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]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 10:31 PM HSBC's flash estimate of China's PMI: 48.1, vs. last month's 49.7 - a regression from already contractionary territory. The Aussie dollar sinks, now -0.26% against the dollar. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:18 AM "There's a changed psychology among buyers," says Patrick Chovanec, waving off the myth that Beijing can flip a switch and get the country's property market booming again. He's also skeptical a building boom from affordable housing will save the day, saying the money to finance this isn't readily available. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:10 AM The recent ouster of Chongqing Communist Party secretary Bo Xilai signals an upcoming decline in Chinese "state capitalism," proclaims Zhang Xin, CEO of Beijing property developer Soho China (SOHOF.PK). Remarks from premier Wen Jiabao about greater economic opening are also cited as a sign of a policy shift. But Wen has also talked about the need to limit growth. (previously) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 7:17 AM Chinese vehicle sales are likely to miss their already modest target of 8% growth this year, according to a senior official at the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers who believes even 5% could be difficult to hit because of the "difficult" economic situation. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, March 19, 2012, 9:30 AM In addition to falling Chinese property prices is a sharp slowdown in sales, SocGen's team noting a 20% decline Y/Y for January and February combined. It's the worst result since 2008 and the worst since the series started in 2006. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 15, 2012, 11:38 AM More on Adrian Mowat's China hard-landing call: While Beijing has plenty of fiscal and monetary flexibility to combat a slowdown, easier policy might just lead to more capital formation which China already has too much of. It's nothing to be scared of, he says, as it's already being reflected in equity prices, which are getting very cheap. (video) 1 Comment [Global & FX]
