Estados Unidos, Australia y el Reino Unido anunciaron este miércoles un histórico pacto de defensa, que incluye el apoyo al desarrollo de submarinos nucleares por parte de los australianos, con el objetivo de plantar cara a China en el Indopacífico.Los tres países acuerdan, de este modo, reforzar la cooperación en tecnologías avanzadas de defensa, como inteligencia artificial, sistemas submarinos y vigilancia de larga distancia.«Es un acuerdo histórico que refleja la determinación de la Administración (del presidente Biden) para construir alianzas más robustas con el objetivo de mantener la paz y la estabilidad en toda la región del Indopacífico», señaló un alto cargo del Gobierno estadounidense, que pidió mantener el anonimato, en una llamada telefónica con periodistas.

China Evergrande onshore bond trading suspended after downgradeHONG KONG/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China Evergrande Group’s main unit, Hengda Real Estate Group Co Ltd, applied on Thursday to suspend trading of its onshore corporate bonds following a downgrade, as the country’s No.2 property developer wrestles with a liquidity crisis.The application follows repeated trading freezes of the bonds in recent days by the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges due to volatile trade.With total liabilities of more than $300 billion, Evergrande is scrambling to raise funds as it teeters between a messy meltdown with far-reaching impacts, a managed collapse or a government bailout.Suspension of trade in Hendga’s onshore corporate bonds indicates an increasing likelihood of defaults and restructuring, market participants said.(...)
Explainer-How China Evergrande's debt troubles pose a systemic risk(...) WHAT’S THE RISK?China’s central bank highlighted in 2018 that companies including Evergrande might pose systemic risks to the nation’s financial system.The leaked letter last year said Evergrande’s liabilities involve more than 128 banks and over 121 non-banking institutions. JPMorgan estimated last week China Minsheng Bank has the highest exposure to Evergrande.Late payments could trigger cross-defaults as many financial institutions have exposure to Evergrande via direct loans and indirect holdings through different financial instruments.In the dollar bond market, Evergrande accounts for 4% of Chinese real estate high-yields, according to DBS. Any defaults will also trigger sell-offs in the high-yield credit market.A collapse of Evergrande will have a large impact on the job market. It has 200,000 staff and hires 3.8 million people every year for project developments.
Evergrande discloses $3m investment by founder’s wife to placate investors(...) Ding Yumei, the wife of Hui Ka Yan, Evergrande chairman and formerly China’s richest man, paid 20 million yuan ($4.3 million) for the company’s high-yield investment products on July 8, according to a purchase document that a senior executive showed investors this week.(...) An executive at Evergrande Wealth Management said the company has about 80,000 investors. Half had put a combined 40 billion yuan into various projects that were used to bridge the funding gap for the parent group.But investors were unimpressed by the investment by Mr Hui’s wife as a demonstration of his commitment to the group, pointing to the fortune he has earned from a company he founded in 1996 and in which he retains a 71 per cent stake.“This is a drop in the bucket for Hui’s wealth,” one investor at the company’s headquarters told the Financial Times at the company’s headquarters. “Hui has paid himself billions of dollars in dividends and now he is trying to get his wife to make us believe that he is in the same boat with us.”CitarAll we can do is to encourage investors to protest and make this thing so big that the authorities have to step in.— Evergrande staff (and investor) who said they faced arrest if they quit the companyMr Hui has unveiled a plan that involves repaying 10 per cent of the initial money this month and full repayment in 27 months. Executives at the group say he was attempting to minimise any losses.Multiple Evergrande employees said they were told the company had a bright future when they purchased wealth management products in May and June, but two Evergrande staff who said they had invested more than 300,000 yuan said their boss threatened to have them arrested if they quit the company.“We have been kept in the dark until the last moment,” one said. “Everyone is furious. We have been abandoned by the firm. All we can do is to encourage investors to protest and make this thing so big that the authorities have to step in.”Evergrande is also trying to convince investors to accept properties at steep discounts instead of cash repayments, including 28 per cent discounts on residential apartments.But several investors rejected the offer, which required them to buy in their home provinces and was subject to approval by local authorities, who worry about falling real estate prices. The shareholders also expressed doubts over the repayment plan, citing fears the company might collapse soon.“Evergrande is going under and there is a slim chance it will rebound,” said a Shenzhen-based shareholder who purchased 1 million yuan worth of wealth management products due this month.None of Evergrande’s $US14 billion ($19 billion) in offshore debt comes due this year, but the company faces interest payments on dollar-denominated debt this month.(...)

NFORME DE LA PATRONAL BANCARIAEspaña es el segundo país del mundo donde más ha crecido la deudaLa deuda pública y privada no deja de crecer. En parte, por el mayor gasto público, pero también por la caída del PIB, al tratarse de una ratio. Solo Grecia tuvo unos resultados más adversosLa recuperación económica sigue en marcha, como ha avanzado el Banco Central Europeo (BCE), que recientemente mejoró las proyecciones de crecimiento para la eurozona. Pero la mochila de la deuda sigue siendo un lastre solo amortiguado por los tipos de interés ultrabajos. Una pesada carga que es especialmente significativa para los países más endeudados. Este es el caso de España, que desde 2019, inmediatamente antes de la pandemia, es, junto a Grecia, el país donde más ha crecido la deuda, tanto pública como privada. Los datos los ofrece el 'Global Debt Monitor', elaborado por los economistas de la patronal bancaria mundial, el IIF (Instituto Financiero Internacional, por su siglas en inglés). (...)

The stock market is undergoing a slow motion deterioration with pockets of shares down 20% or moreThe land mines for the market are growing. Seasonal weakness is combining with uncertainty over the Covid-19 delta variant’s impact on consumer behavior, rising labor and material costs pushing prices higher as well as poor economic data out of China.While the S&P 500 is still about 1% from its record high, those land mines are taking their toll on large sectors of the market.“For the last several months, most stocks have declined more frequently than they have advanced--evidence of a weakening market condition,” CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall said in a recent note to clients.Other strategists have noticed this divergence as well.“As the equity market reaches new highs, the divergence in the advance-decline line suggests we may be approaching a top,” Guggenheim global chief investment officer Scott Minerd said in a recent tweet. “In the past, such divergence has indicated the market is vulnerable to a sell-off.”The 20% decline club is getting largerAbout 15% of S&P 500 stocks are more than 20% below 52-week highs, but much larger swaths of the midcap and small-cap universe are down 20% or more.

It’s all based on the theory that the delta variant will prove to be a diminishing force and that earnings will not materially decline.“As the delta variant eases, we expect these concerns to fade, leading to a much stronger 4Q21 holiday season (unlike last year’s holiday season disappointment) and a pick-up in cross-border activity from still depressed levels,” Lakos-Bujas said.

China Evergrande is not 'too big to fail', says Global Times editorHONG KONG, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The editor-in-chief of state-backed Chinese newspaper Global Times warned debt-ridden property giant Evergrande Group (3333.HK) that it should not bet on a government bailout on the assumption that it is "too big to fail".(...)Global Times' editor-in-chief Hu Xijin said on his WeChat social media account on Thursday that Evergrande should turn to the market for salvation, not the government.He said Evergrande's potential bankruptcy was unlikely to trigger a systemic financial storm like the collapse of Lehman Brothers, because it was a real estate business not a bank and downpayment ratios on property in China were very high.Global Times is a nationalistic tabloid published by the Communist Party's People's Daily. Its views do not necessarily reflect the official thinking of policymakers.(...)
An Evergrande Restructuring Would Prompt Bondholder JostlingAs a potential restructure for China Evergrande Group edges closer to reality, its bondholders will face an unprecedented challenge advocating for their interests. With 13 outstanding dollar bonds, including one note touted as one of the most widely traded in the world, and a diverse group of bondholders globally, getting organized is going to be tricky.Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Moelis & Co. have been hired as advisers by some holders, Reorg reported, but it’s likely that other legal and financial advisory firms will be hired too, leading to multiple groups of stakeholders within the cohort of international buyers. There may even be some rivalry between these groups based on the tranche, tenor and seniority of the bonds they hold.Bondholders have had some success in organizing themselves in recent years -- for instance in a high-profile case at Peking University Founder Group -- but it remains to be seen if those efforts will pay off. In China’s nascent distressed debt market, there have been relatively few opportunities for this type of action compared to the U.S. or Europe. That challenge will be magnified given the scale and complexity of Evergrande’s operations and the involvement of Chinese authorities, given the concerns over systemic risk.
