China PMI Plunges Most In 28 Months, Reverts To HSBC's Reality
Color us not stunned at all. China's Manufacturing PMI finally reverted to the reality that HSBC's Manufacturing PMI has been arguing for and fell for the first time in six months. The drop is the largest since February 2010. While still above 50 (though the lowest level of expansion in five months), or 50.4 technically, down from 53.4, and missing expectations of 52.0, it seems another engine of global growth just sputtered finally - as the real impact of a European depression and fiscally challenged US hit home.
And as a reminder, here is why unless "Europe is fixed" and quite soon, the situation will first get worse before it gets much worse:

How's that wealth effect working out for you Bernank ?
Going exactly as planned ?
It's gonna be a hoot to see which medical institution would hire your kid after his father will be the one who brings down the entire financial system, hahaha you fucking DOUCHEBAG Bernanke.
See, even the Chinese government economists want QE3! It is so nice to see the whole world work together on something. I just wish it wasn't monetary debasement.
ZH office pool...How big will QE3 be?
douche.
Vast-dom says QE3 will be as big as his douche. Anyone want to try and quantify that?
China is on QE7, QE8, and QEn already. I am sure it smells like a douche.
The whole point of fiat currency is so you can create more easily. Witout that we might as well still be on the gold standard.
They will use it when they get the commodities down a little more so they start moving back up from a lower base.
To be fair Vast is off his meds. But if I were to try and quantify an amount for a douche I would say 4 trillion. That is one trillion for each of the four major fed douche bag chair people.
Who's gonna save the world now?
We're screwed.
New rumor: IMF to bailout China.

BEIJING - Chinese shares tumbled Wednesday after Premier Wen Jiabao said China will not halt its efforts to reign in housing prices.
The current housing prices are still far from falling back to a reasonable level, Wen said at a press conference after the conclusion of China's annual parliamentary session.

OMG! Do you think he would be willing to be the PM of Canada?
fuck you jamie dimon, fucking punk
And fuck Lloyd Blankfein. That fucking fuck.
Who could have seen this coming. Feels like only this afternoon the S&P ripped up 20 points on the fact that the world was saved, now this just comes out of left field....
that was just the end of month mark up...
So? A guy's still got to make a living. Meaning "What if the end doesn't come?"
Sorry I'm too busy to care about China while looking out for black helicopters after I realized that an e-mail to my Target buyer sent last year about how we had to recall our Japanese product after suppliers issued cancellations stemming from the earthquake and tsunami probably put me on a watch list.
Ha!
Rumor: apple to buy a few European countries, pensions paid in iPads.
Rumor: someone ate Jobs' face just before the End. He shall be returning soon. New OS = Zombie.
actually Apple should have cremated Jobs and sold an ash for $100 a piece to all the Apple faithful so to carry around a part of their lord and savior.
Ausie-Ausie-Ausie....Oy vey. Gulp.
Watching the ASX200 bounce of it's "support" and the AUD. Looks like intervention.
Food gates of hell will be unleashed on the Australian and Canadian markets soon. They're Keynesian mad government are running hot with the RMBS trade, desperately trying to keep their housing markets bid.
Pitiful.
SHAMELESS TOO! I'M OUTRAGED!
looks like the PPT on a HFT smoke out, very obvious. As for FX Asia is riddled with inflation so they are flipping on the USD strength, looks like CB bids.
All and all, major shorts will pile up on Australia soon. Their bonds being bid is ludicrous when they have a housing bubble to end all housing bubbles.
also the trades will be cut at end session. so any retailers or smart money will be fleeced.
asian sovereigns are buying shares.
Don't worry
QE10 will save us
Why are Asian markets dropping on this news? In the good ol' USA we treat bad economic news as bullish for stocks. silly asians.
Because here in the US the so called pundits and cheerleaders will start saying "it is already baked in", "it is already accounted for in the current market" or something to that effect.
Nah, I think it is because the thought of Hello Kitty going bankrupt is very terrifying to them.
how can i imagine something failing when i can't even understand how it works to begin with?
Lol i spoke too soon. Asia's turning American-nese. Indicies marching green. HSI and Shanghai green, Incredible!
Party bosses will roll out internal personal consumption of legal prostitution soon.
Too much debt diverted to unproductive enterprises throughout the world. The system needs to be cleansed. But the crony capitalists control the system, and will never allow for the proper correction.
My generation is f)cked. The baby boomers get to die off just before the financialpocalyse--which they built-- collapses all societies.
In other news Kyle Bass says Yipeee.
JGBS time? Hugh Hendry has been shorting alot of Jap. companies that do most of their biz w/ Red China-steel maunufacturers I think he said
Mars is the new bail out-or and earth bail out-ee
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue........
i love how the blowhards on CNBC say that USA is decoupled from rest of world while not too long ago pontificating on how all world economy is so interconnected
Do you think they really know what is going on around them. They just go with the flavor of the season. When Facebook IPO was cool they were cheering it like FB is this great new Quarterback and now they act as if they always knew the QB was a lemon.
I watch it more for comedy and to see Santelli froth at the mouth over state and muni debt-oh-and that smokin' hot amanda something
Feel good fodder for the sheeple.....cnbc sells ads ...only reason it's on...ain't no "publice service" station...
They would do better (and make more revenue/add to their margin of profit) if they went "Muzac" and fired all the talking heads and became a data only feed with commercials.....scroll stories.....had deadpan readers......
..but that not would "sell" the sheeple into watching...only us guys and gals.....
the doofuses that are there lead the sheeple into and out of commercials....
"stay tuned ...right after this.....Douche Baggia tells you about Facebook and why it's here to stay..,..."
Garbage..........
Someone please tell this fucking guy. If you're patient enough to sit through the entire 2 hour presentation, you'll be pleased to discover a "free" gift at the end

PS: Nice to see you back.
As of today, EUFN is -7.2% YTD, vs. +4.19% for S&P 500.
European financials have a lot of catching up to do if they are going to be the highest performing sector of 2012.
I think he called for financial to be tops in Q1 12 only. Not a terrible call but I may be mis-remembering.
AUD taking a big shit. Target AUD = 0.5 USD within 12 months.
http://www.fxstreet.com/technical/currencies-glance/pair.aspx?id=aud/usd
for all the wrong reasons. Can you find a bigger bubble than US debt? Some day soon you will be paying them to hold your money. Simply insane. Thank your boy Bernanke.
I think the $ will have strength for many months. It isn't about having low debt. It's about producing enough food, energy sufficient for 50% of commutes, and 11 or 12 carrier battle groups. The underlying in this country is actually very good compared to the other majors. True we have a lot of useless mouths to feed, but then we've got all that stockpiled cheese and non-fat powdered milk, so that's not a big deal.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Buy your berths on the Titanic before they are all sold out.
Did you take May off RT?
Tyler put him In the time out chair.
"Did you take May off RT?"
lost internet in his mom's basement
where is your fellow sodomite trav777?
According to Dr.Who Li Most...this is all well within the margin of error.
Demolish a few brand new worker shelters...errr, ahhh, vacant condos...ramp up concrete and rebar production and we back in bidness.
Push/pull ez capitalist dogs...lol.
Brazil:
Brazil Q1 GDP due tonight, forecast of 1.3% y/y [ID:nL1E8GP8WG]
GDP growth was +7% in 2010
USD/INR & USD/BRL 30-day correlation running at very tight 0.87
Brazil numbers may be a near-term nail in the coffin of the BRIC story
Tomorrow is Friday - thats when I officially say - FUCK THIS SHIT ITS FRIDAY.
So what of Australian banks I wonder....?
http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/APRA-Laker-Australian...
During the last global crisis the Australian govt posted guarantees for the major banks. I guess they could again if need be. Or post 50 tons gold collateral to the guarantees if they were ever needed.
Don't know much at all about the financial health of the Aussie banks and the riske the face of an Irish style housing melt down and unemployment, though the IMF test above seems to think they would be ok.
Should I panic now?
This cements it for me - "bullish" is the secret word for tomorrow.
Panicking is for the womyns.
fugly.....
US slaps taxes on wind towers from ChinaThe United States announced preliminary duties from 13.74 percent to 26 percent on Wednesday against wind-turbine towers imported from China, a move that will heighten tension over trade of clean-energy technologies between the economic powers.
http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/us/2012-05/31/content_15433703.htm
we should erect a wind tower in every environmentalist's and politician's back yard and see how popular they still are-fucking eyesores all over the Great plains and midwest for 2% of 'nation's energy needs". the massive amount of energy used to produce,ship,install and maintain them means they'll take hundreds of years to recoup their cost. and now they want to put them in the great lakes. I see 1st Solar is about to go tits up.
Sell some Treasuries and buy iPads. Sorted.
i made up a new joke about chine
Slewie, sometimes I wonder just what it is the fuck you do in the real world...
Carry on Sir !!!
I'm starting a campaign to convince Tyler to publish his charts without elementary school bubbles and arrows on them.
Who's with me?
tyler is the fuking publisher, dude; he IS: chartPornTM
no one in his right mind would come near this seditious bullshit, especially after the first try a few daze age about the red arrow pointing down
nice try, tho
ps: a word to the wiZe is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Awh they'll say anything to drain a central banker. What if the central banks just decide to own every bank and write all the debts off into the land of zeros. I'm sure its going to be ok. Just a little perspective adjustment. Which for me includes getting the rice in now that I have my medical supply inventory up to snuff.
WTF futures were down 55 points at 11pm and now they are down 27. If Facefuck goes up 10% tomorrow everyone needs to thro in the towel.
An occurrence called 'Keynesian Volatility'
ref:
Keynesian volatility is usually due to intervention by sovereign funds and government pension funds. Mostly occurring out of Asia, but also know in Europe and American markets. A futile attempt at supporting a soon-to-be bear market. Ends up dragging in retail or dumb money and strip mines the poor suckers as brokerage firms sell on rallies. Most likely will lead to greater losses of goverment sovereign funds and downgrades.
Keynesian volatility can also been seen in: FX, Bonds, Futures, commodity prices, fixed income, CDS etc etc etc
Not to be confused with central bank volatility where those insane bankers print, Keynesian volatility is usually caused by taxpayer funds i.e taxes and other income stolen off the people.
As someone else on Zero Hedge observed, being contrarian is the new contrarian indicator. So this will be interperted by the markets as bad which is good because it will mean more QE. This explains why the immediate reaction was for the China markets to go up.
