While it is nowhere close to Japan's legendary advice to bond investors [5]what they should do in case of a financial collapse ("please do not worry"), overnight the Shanghai Futures exchange [6], which has seen unprecedented declines in the prices of commodities transacted on it...
... so much so that the entire Chinese economy is now threatened by an unprecedented default wave [8]if prices do not rebound, had some sage words of advice of its own.
From the SFE [9]:
Translated:
Members,
Complex and volatile economic and financial situations in China and abroad are adding uncertainty to market. Members should remind investors to be prudent in judging market information and to be rational with investment decisions to maintain a smoothly running market.
Translating the translation:
"dear investors, please stop selling and be rational, or else you too will be branded "malicious sellers" and disappear forever."
And just in case you missed it, "after arresting hundreds of stock traders, China cracks down on "malicious" metals sellers next [11]."
Coming to every banana republic near you, where only prices matter to central planners.
