Chinese actions bounce back when public funds come to the rescue

(Bloomberg) – The China stock market rebounded following a historic sale on Monday, as a group of state -related state funds under the name of the national team, the Central Bank has promised loans to help stabilize the market.

The Hang Seng China Enterprises (^ HSCE) index closed 2.3%, giving investors a stay after having capped their worst day since the financial crisis. The CSI 300 onshore (000300.SS) index, which had dropped more than 7% the day before, ended 1.7% higher.

Managers and managers unveiled a series of movements to calm the nerves. Investors supported by the State have announced that they are buying stocks and funds negotiated on the stock market. Companies have promised redemptions. The regulators have relaxed the rules on insurers’ investments. The central bank attracted its grip on the currency and promised more loans to help a sovereign fund to load the actions.

It was enough to approach the slide, at least for the moment – but investors are preparing to prepare for an extended period of tensions. After China retaliated against American prices by corresponding to the increase in levies, Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% rate on China if he did not retreat. Beijing said on Tuesday that it would “fight until the end”.

“Regarding the United States and China, we are indeed in the chicken game,” said Peter Kim, investment strategist at KB Securities Co. “Trump has made its movement and China retaliated rather than choosing the compromise path and it is now to which country will flash first.”

The market tripped during afternoon trading after two influential bloggers have published a list of measures that the authorities are thinking to respond to Trump’s latest tariff threats. The Hong Kong Hang Seng index (^ HSI), which had also been higher in the morning, passed briefly in negative territory before ending the day 1.5% higher.

Beijing’s attempt to combat market disorders contrasts with the response of officials in the United States, where actions have also been shaken by fears for a growing trade conflict behind the two largest economies in the world. While US President Donald Trump has largely raised the shoulders of the market impact, Beijing has removed all stops to relieve pain.

A basket of eight funds negotiated on the stock market favored by the Chinese sovereign fund, widely considered as an indirect indicator of the national team, saw a record influx on Monday. These funds experienced a combined turnover of 105 billion yuan ($ 14.3 billion) on Tuesday, beating volumes in the previous session.
