There is report that Trump will be meeting Liu He in this coming Trade Talk....... given Trump' s character, he will want a good positive show.  So the statement post Trade Talk is likely going to be positive in tone......IMO, DYODD.

China' s real estate loan growth slows further in 2018
- Outstanding yuan property loans grew 20 percent from a year earlier to 38.7 trillion yuan ($5.72 trillion) by the end of December, compared with 20.9 percent growth in 2017, the People' s Bank of China (PBOC) said in a quarterly financial report.
- Outstanding mortgage lending climbed 17.8 percent year-on-year to 25.75 trillion yuan by the end of 2018, below a 22.2 percent rise in 2017, the data showed.
- The real estate sector is a key driver of economic growth, so any further weakness could influence the pace and scope of fresh stimulus steps expected from Beijing this year.
China' s slowing economy will make it harder for its companies to pay debts, ratings agencies say
- China' s slowing economy means companies will find it harder to pay their debts, S& P Global Ratings says.
- " The economic chill in China is spreading, threatening to weaken profitability across nearly all sectors in corporate China," the agency says in a report.
- Moody' s Investors Service says that increased credit for private companies promised by the government is unlikely to reach those companies that need it most.
 
Putting 2 and 2 together.......... Chinese Companies will be caught in the cross fires..........IMO, DYODD.

With the dimned economic reports recently coming out of China (where our banks have significant exposure of 20+% to 40+%) and Davos........banks should see the beginning of some slowdown in their Q4 reports out in Feb 2019.....IMO, DYODD.
