CHINA BROUGHT THE EXCHANGE OF ITS RESTING CITY

 


 

The fall in shares of Chinese technology companies led to the collapse of the Hong Kong stock exchange, which rebelled against Beijing's policies for several months, follows from the data of the Hang Seng site.

The main Hang Seng index fell by more than five percent, however, then won back part of the fall. As a result, losses at the end of the trading session were limited to 4.22 percent. Over the past two days, the decline was eight percent.

 

The main cause of the drop was the sale of shares in large Chinese technology businesses that trade on the Hang Seng, such as Tencent, a telecoms company, and Alibaba Group, an online marketplace. The quotes of the first fell by 8.98 percent in two days, the second - by 6.35 percent.

 

The sale comes amid the announcement of new requirements for Chinese food delivery services. Now they will be obliged to guarantee employees wages not lower than the minimum wage in a particular region. The innovation should affect the services Meituan and Ele.me, which are part of the Alibaba Group.

 

The Hong Kong Exchange has traditionally been used by Chinese companies targeting Western audiences, as it allows for public offerings with fewer regulatory requirements and attracts a wider range of foreign investors.

 

Recently, however, the site has experienced a tightening of Beijing's policy in the financial sector (in particular, the IPO procedure), including after months of protests by Hong Kong residents against the Chinese extradition law. It was rejected, but protests led to the adoption of an even tougher national security law.

Reasons for the deficit and rising inflation

  Based on research by Bridgewater Associates . Supply chain problems and rising inflation persist. For investors, inflation is a big risk. Markets view inflation as a temporary phenomenon: " ...inflation will return to central bank targets. Regulators will be able to use loose monetary policy for a long time. " Bridgewater Associates researchers disagree. "Newspaper headlines focus on local supply-side problems (the port in Los Angeles, coal in China, natural gas in Europe, semiconductors around the world, truck drivers in the UK, etc.) and miss a global cause for which there is not yet specific solution. ...current inflation and rising prices are not a pandemic-related supply problem. The supply of virtually everything has reached record levels. The reason is an upward demand shock due to the direct issuance of money to buyers of goods and services. Some inflation drivers are temporary, but the underlying supply/demand imbalance is worsening." Researchers note a s

Image
  Jonathan Eng, director of a California-based company that manages assets worth about $47 billion expressed this opinion. Rolls-Royce's largest investor, the American investment company Causeway Capital Management, has called for the renewal of the board of directors of the British company, emerging from the worst recessions in the airline's history industry. The Financial Times reported this on Monday. That was the opinion of Jonathan Ang, director of a California-based company that manages approximately $47 billion in assets. “I really think [Rolls-Royce's] board needs fresh thinking. The company is facing some challenges,” Ang told the British business publication. According to him, the current council is "good for what it was," but now is the time to revise its structure. "I will ask [Anita Frew] if we have the right people right now to ask questions when unpleasant situations arise because they will arise," he said. Frew is the first woman to serve
