- Monday, April 29, 8:00 AM Chinese industrial company profit growth slowed to 5.3% Y/Y in March, down from a 17.2% pace in the year's first two months. For the quarter as a whole, profits rose 12.1% - roughly inline with sales, meaning flat margins. "With problems of overcapacity and the sluggish global picture, it doesn't bode well," says RBS' chief China economist Louis Kuijs. Shanghai (FXI, CAF) closed overnight. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 23, 5:32 AM Shares in China lead Asian stocks lower after HSBC's PMI survey for the country falls more than expected. Japan -0.3%, Hong Kong -1.1%, China -2.6%, India -0.3% to 19107. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Monday, April 22, 11:08 PM China's flash HSBC PMI for April slides to 50.5, missing expectations by a full point and against March's read of 51.6. "New export orders contracted after a temporary rebound in March, suggesting external demand for China's exporters remain weak," says HSBC. "Weaker overall demand has also started to weigh on employment in the manufacturing sector." Shanghai (FXI, CAF) is off 1.5 in early trade. Hong Kong (EWH) -0.9%. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 22, 4:35 PM Jim Chanos isn't backing off, laying out his bearish case on China in a new presentation entitled, China: The Edifice Complex. The arguments aren't new to anyone who's been following along: Property bubble, diminishing returns on the capital investment boom, and massive corruption at both the government and corporate levels. Priced in? China A Shares (CAF) fell years ago and they haven't gotten up. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 19, 9:18 AM Shanghai posted its biggest gain in a month, +2.1% as regulators look to lure more money into stocks, mulling plans to allow A shares to be added to well-known international indexes, including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM, VWO). FXI +2.9%, Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund (CAF) +5% premarket. 1 Comment [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 16, 1:05 PM China's local government debt is "out of control," says Zhang Ke, head of a top Chinese accounting firm, and it could spark a bigger crisis than the U.S. property crash. He says his firm has mostly exited from the business of underwriting local government bond issues as the municipalities cannot service the debt they are taking on. "Things could become very serious." 8 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 16, 11:36 AM China's big miss on Q1 GDP might show the country nearing its "Pettis Moment" in which the country's growth must slow as the economy shifts reliance from investment to consumption. JPMorgan's Jing Ulrich says over-investment is responsible for the "sub-par economic expansion" and likely a key factor in the poor performance of Chinese stocks. A chart of CAF vs. the S&P since the 2009 bottom. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, April 14, 11:01 PM Chinese Q1 GDP growth disappoints, rising 7.7% Y/Y vs. 8% expected, and slowing from 7.9% in Q4. March industrial production misses expectations of 10% growth, rising just 8.9%. Retail sales, however, beats forecasts, rising 12.6% vs. 12.3% expected. Asia's taking a bit of a tumble, Shanghai -0.6%, and the Hang Seng -1.6%. The aussie (FXA) slides 0.6% to $1.0463. 13 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 8, 7:40 AM Shanghai carves out a new 2013 low, sliding 0.6% overnight with property developers leading the way as Beijing increases to 70% the minimum downpayment for 2nd homes. Airlines slumped and one pharmaceutical company soared in response to the bird flu outbreak. FXI -0.7% premarket, now -11.9% YTD. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 5, 9:46 AM The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) gets an upgrade, if you ask Dennis Hudachek, making changes allowing it to own sectors to which it previously had no exposure - fairly significant for a fund owning just 25 names. Though maybe the most popular China ETF, FXI has been notable for its underperformance vs. the Shanghai Composite. Also affected wil be sister fund FCHI. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 3, 1:51 AM China's official services PMI rises to 55.6 in March from 54.5 in February, boosted by growth in the sub-index for construction, while new orders increased across different sectors. HSBC's index rises to a six-month high 54.3 from 52.1 as business confidence jumps to a 10-month peak of 65. With input prices rising more slowly, it's looking good for China's economic recovery. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, April 3, 1:37 AM Japanese shares rebound sharply from losses yesterday in an otherwise fairly calm day for Asian stocks, with the falling yen and strong March U.S. sales for Japanese car companies helping to boost sentiment in Tokyo. The rise in shares comes as the BOJ holds Governor Haruhiko Kuroda's first policy meeting. Chinese shares edge up ahead of a four-day weekend. Japan +2.5%, Hong Kong flat, China +0.2%, India -0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 2, 3:10 AM Asian stocks are mixed as investors in many markets resume trading following the Easter holiday. Japanese shares pare losses after being weighed down by a stronger yen ahead of the BOJ's first policy meeting tomorrow under new Governor Haruhiko Kuroda. Chinese shares fall, with investors staying cautious prior to key Q1 data next week. Japan -1.1%, Hong Kong flat, China -0.5%, India +0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 28, 7:46 AM The China 25 Index ETF (FXI) falls 1.5% premarket as Beijing moves to break up the opacity of the shadow banking system with regulators demanding non-traditional wealth-management products be clearly linked to specific assets. Seems prudent. Citic Bank -6.8%, Minsheng Banking -7.9%. Banking ETF (CHIX) -6.1% YTD. 6 Comments [Global & FX, Financials]
- Tuesday, March 26, 8:23 AM Bank of China and Ag Bank last night joined Construction Bank in reporting a slowing profit increase in 2012, with Ag Bank President Zhang Yun warning growth may slow further this year. "Chinese banks' high-growth rates of the past aren't sustainable," says an analyst, expecting a small rebound in earnings, but only if markets improve. Shanghai fell 1.2% overnight, but FXI - which often goes its own way - gains 0.8% premarket. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, March 21, 2:59 AM Chinese flash HSBC PMI rises to 51.7 in March from 50.4 in February, which was distorted by the week-long New Year holiday, and vs estimates of 50.8. "The Chinese economy is still on track" for a "gradual growth recovery," says HSBC's Qu Hongbin. "Inflation remains well behaved, leaving room for Beijing to keep policy relatively accommodative."
