Read an article they gonna let the weaker coy die...

Goldfinger ( Date: 15-May-2016 18:36) Posted:

Looks like more stimulus may be forthcoming in Tiongkok. They will have real problems in fencing off social instability if unemployment becomes emdemic without any safety net in place. Just my own take.

China' s economy loses momentum in April, clouding policy outlook

China' s economy resumed its grind toward slower growth in April, suggesting continued fiscal and monetary support is still needed to maintain demand.

Industrial production climbed 6 per cent in April from a year earlier, versus 6.8 per cent in March and economists' estimates for 6.5 per cent. Retail sales also missed analyst forecasts, rising 10.1 per cent, while fixed-asset investment increased 10.5 per cent in the January-April period versus economists' expectation for 11 per cent.

After a rocky start to 2016 marked by a sliding yuan, capital outflows and tumbling shares, China' s economy had stabilised and even picked up since March, led by a rebound in the housing market. Saturday' s readings and a pullback in new credit dash hopes the economy has turned a corner. Top leaders signaled a shift away from debt- and stimulus-fueled growth this week, stressing the need for deleveraging, upgrading industrial capabilities, and cutting excess capacity.

" On balance, the risks to growth and inflation remain on the downside, amid weak demand conditions and macro-prudential tightening," HSBC Holdings Plc economists led by Qu Hongbin wrote in a recent note. " We continue to see more policy easing and reforms as necessary to generate a sustained recovery. "

Data on Friday showed China' s broadest measure of new credit rose less than expected last month. Aggregate financing was 751 billion yuan (S $ 157.8 billion) in April, the People' s Bank of China said. This was below all 26 analyst forecasts in a Bloomberg survey. New yuan loans were 555.6 billion yuan, compared with the median estimate for 800 billion yuan.

China' s central bank sought to reassure investors that monetary policy will continue to support the economy after the sharp slowdown in new credit last month. The deceleration was mainly due to a pick-up in a programme to swap high-cost local government debt for cheaper municipal bonds, with no less than 350 billion yuan of such swaps conducted last month, while aggregating financing growth was affected partly by a decrease in corporate bond issuance, according to the central bank.

China' s monetary policy remains prudent and policy moves must support economic growth while fully considering the impact on future prices and the need to prevent financial risks, People' s Bank of China research bureau chief economist Ma Jun said in an e-mailed statement from the bank.

Dow, S & P post first 3-week losing streak since January

U.S. stocks closed lower Friday, with the Dow Jones industrial average and S & P 500 closing below their 50-day moving averages and posting their first three-week losing streak since January.

" I think the market' s just gotten extended relative to earnings. This week just had those disappointing retail numbers out of the malls and that has led to a fairly broad sell-off. Most of them have done quite poorly," said Bernie Williams, chief investment officer, USAA Investment Solutions.

Consumer discretionary was the fifth-worst decliner, falling more than 1 percent to erase year-to-date gains and joining tech, health care and financials as the only S & P sectors in the red for the year so far. Utilities is the top sector performer year-to-date, with gains of more than 13 percent.

US oil closes 1.1 pct lower, but gains more than 3 pct for week

" I think there' s a sense this strong retail sales could fuel Fed tightening in June. Maybe retailers really are missing the boat on consumers. Consumers are spending money. They' re just not going to traditional retailers," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank.

" Industrials and financials (are lagging) which would suggest dollar strength on the back of Fed tightening," he said.

April retail sales rose 1.3 percent, topping expectations. Over the past twelve months, total retail sales rose 3 percent.

" My guess is (the Fed) will raise once this year," USAA' s Williams said. " This data is supportive of a raise but it does not change my view that rates will be lower for longer."

" If the Fed can hike twice this year the 2-year yield is not pricing that in," Brandon Swensen, co-head of the fixed income desk at RBC Global Asset Management, said in an email.

" The front end is focusing on the strong retail sales number and pricing that into the Fed' s next move while the longer end remains in sync with stocks and risk sentiment," he said. " The flatter curve fits the view of slow growth and a slow but eventually tighter Fed. "

The Dow and S & P closed below their 50-day moving averages for the first time since Feb. 29.

Katie Stockton, chief technical strategist at BTIG, said in an email that the S & P 500 closing below its 50-day moving average for the first time since February " reflects weak short-term momentum."

" Oversold conditions have returned on an intraday basis, such that Monday is likely to give way to a rebound," she said. " Regardless, the market had the opportunity for an oversold bounce this week, and its failure to take shape is a bearish development. Initial support is in the 2000 area, and a pullback of that magnitude would see an unwelcome pickup in downside volatility. "

" I' ' m not sure investors and traders even know what they are looking at right now. I think they are more concerned about not being out of the market because of the Fed," Lance Roberts, chief investment strategist at Clarity Financial, said of morning market action.

" Everybody is pretty confident at this point the Fed may not raise interest rates in June," he said.

Straits Times Index

Singapore shares close lower on Friday, flat for the week

WHEN oil plunged below US $ 30 a barrel in February, the worry that descended on markets was the threat of deflation, which Investopedia defines as " a general decline in prices, often caused by a reduction in the supply of money or credit... Declining prices, if they persist, generally create a vicious spiral of negatives such as falling profits, closing factories, shrinking employment and incomes, and increasing defaults on loans by companies and individuals " .

Whether or not deflation will really take root in the economy remains to be seen now that oil has rebounded to above US $ 40 per barrel, but the definition above certainly applies to the local stock market, where the Straits Times Index (STI) on Friday dropped 10.48 points to 2,734.91, though it did manage a four-point gain for the week.

Like in the definition above, money supply to stocks has dried up - volume on Friday was a meagre 982 million units worth S $ 1.04 billion, of which S $ 768 million or 74 per cent came from trading in the 30 STI members Excluding warrants, there. were 140 rises versus 249 falls throughout.

Banks in particular have borne the brunt of " deflationary worries" , mainly because of their exposure to the oil sector Concerns over their asset quality and impact on earnings have given funds an incentive to lighten their banks' exposure or to short-sell . Whatever the case, their weighting within the STI ensures that when they plunge, so does the index.
