China Crashes Most Since 2007 Amid "Panic Sentiment"; Over Half Stocks Suspended, PBOC Promises "Liquidity Support"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Some context...

For a record 12th day in a row, Chinese margin debt balances have dropped with today's 8.5% collapse the largest in history. As of last night, there were around 570/1694 Shenzhen stocks halted/suspended and hundreds more on the Shanghai bourse leaving more than 54% of all Chinese stocks frozen ($2.6 trillion or 40% of value). China continues to try to manage leverage down (raising margin requirements on stock futures) while encouraging speculation (easing rules for insurers to buy blue chips and financing the purchase of smaller company shares directly) and CYNK'ing the entire market - if it's not open, you can't sell it and the price cannot fall! It's not working as CSI-300 futures are now down 7.9% in the preopen.

 

  • *CHINA TRADING HALTS FREEZE $2.6 TRILLION, 40% OF TOTAL VALUE

China appears to be trying to manage leverage...

  • *CHINA RAISES MARGIN REQUIREMENT FOR CSI 500 INDEX FUTURES
  • *SHANGHAI MARGIN DEBT FALLS 8.5%, BIGGEST ONE-DAY DROP ON RECORD

 

The problem is the collateral value is falling faster than the margin debt leaving "leverage" still at record highs...

While encouraging speculation...

  • *CHINA EASES RULES FOR INSURERS TO INVEST IN BLUE CHIPS: XINHUA
  • *CHINA SECURITIES FINANCE TO BUY MORE SMALLER COS. SHRS: CSRC

China news is domninated by dozens of pages of this...

  • *CHINA TRADING HALTS LEAVE 43% OF ENTIRE STOCK MARKET FROZEN
  • *1,249 CHINESE COMPANIES HAVE HALTED TRADING IN SHARES
  • UPDATE: Trading halts have left 1544 companies, equivalent of 54.7% of the Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Composite, suspended today. (@GregorHunter)

With what we estimate is around 850-900 Shenzhen Composite stocks suspended (over half of the 1694 stocks in the index) and almost 25% of Shanghai Composite stocks, it appears China has resorted to the endgame in managing a collapse...

if it's not open, you can't sell it and the price cannot fall!

In other words - the whole Chinese market just got CYNK'd

* * *

It's not working...

  • *CSI 300 JULY FUTURES PLUNGE 7.9% IN SHANGHAI
  • *CHINA'S SHANGHAI COMPOSITE INDEX SET TO OPEN 7% LOWER

 

It looks like today could see China go red for the year...

*  *  *

China weakness and European rhetoric wearing S&P futures lower (down 11 points from cash close)...

*  *  *

Another day another attemnpt to stabilize...

 

Just add this to the list of interventions...

Perhaps if you just stare at it long enough, it will rise...

 

Just remember this crash is telling us somethinmg about China...

The stock market knows more than any individual investor, and China's is no exception.

As NYU Professors Jennfier Carpenter and Robert Whitelaw told CNBC in January...

This optimism should be taken seriously. This run-up is not a bubble, and so investors should not fear another crash.

 

Our research shows that after a rocky first decade, which earned China's stock market a reputation as a casino, stock prices in China predict future profits as well as they do in the U.S. Moreover, this predictive power is highly correlated with China's corporate investment efficiency, suggesting that stock prices are teaching corporate managers important lessons as well. However, capital in China is still allocated almost entirely by its massive banking sector. It is time to untie the hand of the stock market, reform listing standards, streamline the IPO approval process now holding up over 600 firms seeking equity capital, and let the stock market allocate capital, too.

Shut Up!!!

As we detailed earlier - none of this was real or indicative of any real economic growth - it was all speculative ponzi and will not end well...

Exhibit 1 - Based on 'fundamentals', The Shanghai Composite has a long way to go...

 

Exhibit 2 - If Dr. Copper is right about the state of the world, The Shanghai Composite won't find support until it has fallen another 60%...

 

Exhibit 3 - Judging by historical analogs, The Shanghai Composite will need to destroy all gains in the last 2 years before 'value' is once again seen...

 

Chinese investor psychology has shifted. Period. The more the government intervenes to lift stock prices explicitly, the more local and professsional leveraged investors will use any strength to unwind their positions (profitably or unprofitably).

According to the village idiots here on ZH and KWN, the Chinese are sooooo much better and smarter than we in the West, because they don't believe in bubbles and government intervention. Right? Riiiiight....

Furthermore, China is the leading nation when it comes to protecting consumers, fighting pollution, internet privacy and human rights!

China- the envy of the west with their "modern" central command and control economy.  These morons are as over as Japan in 1990.  Sure, their economy has been a Petemkin Village for years and nobody cares.  But lose control of your stock market for a couple weeks and watch the confidence collapse and the money flee.

The difference is in scale and demographics.  Most Japanese live in urban centers so the loss of jobs relative to the population is more affected by stock market collapses.  In China, as large as the cities are, a larger protion of the population is relatively unaffected by the actions of the markets. 

This is not to say that you are wrong about the general effect of market confidence in China, only that the comparison to Japan is not the same.

@ NoDebt

Spot on mate! Asians can not think even one nanometer outside the box and have a desperate genetically engrained urge to control things in order to avoid losing face. Asians are hopelessly bad in any kind of crisis management. One giant totalitarian and centralized nation (we're not talking about the patchwork EUSSR here) and when the stock markets sell off, the corrupt 'leadership' is shell shocked.

These idiots bought US T bills at exactly the wrong time, and now they are buying gold at the wrong time, so forget about a gold-backed Yuan!

As I've said many times: all the Chinese can do is copy/paste what others have done, whether it's copying Louis Vuitton bags, copying Japan's economy, copying stock and housing bubbles, copying fiat currency or copying government intervention and "the wealth effect."

That's what the Borg were.  Copy and pasters.  You copy and paste and figure out what the best elements are for assimilating and discard the rest.  That's all they did was steal technology.  They didn't innovate anything and then incorporated it into the collective.  

This is Chinas first venture into stock Ponzis.  They will copy and paste our HFT, algos and Fed proxies soon enough.  

I'm guessing they thought there titanic population would keep the Ponzi going a lot longer than it did.  They'll figure it out and get it pumped higher than ever before.  1.375 billion people and counting.  And nobody loves to gamble more than the Chinese.

The Chinese stock market is the world's biggest Ponzi (relative to other stock markets), with well over 70% of the listed companies being shams, and the remaining 30% being overvalued by 10 to 200 times.

In order words, Chinese markets should fall 70% to 85% FROM PRESENT LEVELS, in order to even get close to rational valuation, with maybe 50% to 60% needing to be delisted altogether.

"Never under-estimate a comma d economy's ability to command anyone and everyone to throw ALL the money into the furnace."

I mean seriously...there is aost almost a PERFECT rationality here if. We're talking "follow the Party line or else."

In the meantime ponder the MEANING of such an Elic Fail should it materialize really is quite scary.

At least in the Great Depression they still kept the markets open. "Shutting the trading down means valuation of ZERO."

If you think this is a good time to be a rice farmer you might want to bone up on that apaect of these types of meltdowns too. The term "LIKE HELL IT DOES!" comes to mind...

She asked me if I didnt mind telling here what Brand are you using:

I replied-- Ruger Super Blackhawk 44. Magnum 3 screw build on a Dragoon Frame. And I have never had ANY problem because if there is one thing a theiving thug Negro hates, its a BIG shiny pistol with a hole in the end big enough for his finger.

Some of these drops occur with a certain "mathematical ism" for lack of a better term.

No one works well in a panic...but humans can respond in a pre-programmed way when they do panic too...so the first question to ask AND ANSWER is "do you believe this is a panic" and then ask and answer "if so how will people with real money in this thing in fact respond?"

Thats how the Wall Street pirriana's "strip us bare to the bones.

It is all coming down...all of it. It will shake your world into itsy bitsy pieces. I will be laughing at it, and at you, from afar.

 

Fuck your FRAUD and your CORRUPTION. Fuck the European Union and Fuck the FED.

Oh dear, Tommy-the-Tall-Tit is upset again because he got suckered yet again into buying even more gold last week, thinking the world is going to collapse any minute now.

Any minute now...any minute...just wait for it....just wait a little more for it...keep on catching that falling golden knife...catch it some more...BTFgoldD...buy some more.....it will jump to $2000 any day now...keep on hoping...

...and if all else fails: BLAME the messenger and start swearing really loud. Very mature Tommy, very mature...

It was never going to be China or Russia or India or Brazil enslaving the planet anyway. The BIS and IMF is the direction you should be looking for that.

But you are 100% correct in assuming that if this sucker doesn't stop going down the idea of the BRICS bailing out anyone anytime soon (Greece specifically) becomes remote.

IMF-SDR however is a different can of worms altogether...

"The phoenix zone would impose tight constraints on national governments. There would be no such thing, for instance, as a national monetary policy. The world phoenix supply would be fixed by a new central bank, descended perhaps from the IMF."

Same goes double for the current Greece debacle... if they lead with the riots, pain and societal collapse then you know it's to further the interests of the globalists because it is simply not helpful for the continuance of the current extend and pretend dynamic.

And if they don't cover it?

Good evening, everybody. 

At the top of the news the search continues for the 3 legged water polo playing badger named Badgie. A nationwide amber alert has been issued even though we are talking about a badger. Sources have not ruled out foul play. It could be race related as badgie was predominantly dark colored with very few white stripes. We now join Anderson Cooper live at the scene.
