This was created in 1999 after the Long Term Capital Management (a contradiction in terms if there ever was one) fiasco that Soros cleaned up nicely on via Quantum Fund-it focuses on buying up distressed debt

 

China’s Huarong Expects $2.8 Billion in First-Half Net Loss

 

China Huarong Asset Management Co. said it expects a net loss of 18.88 billion yuan ($2.78 billion) in the first half of the year as credit impairments surged even after the state-owned bad loan manager revamped its sprawling businesses and received a $6.6 billion government-orchestrated bailout.

 

The predicted loss compares with a profit of 158 million yuan the Beijing-based firm reported in the six months through June 30 last year. Credit impairment losses “increased significantly” in the current period, it said in a filing Tuesday without elaborating.

 

The group said the interim results didn’t meet expectations “because of the impact of volatility in the capital market and downturn in the real estate market, which were caused by various factors such as the recurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts and pressure in macroeconomy.”

 

Shares of Huarong have tumbled 66% this year in Hong Kong as investors remained jittery and divided over the industry’s long-term growth prospects, while its perpetual bond plunged to the lowest since its 2021 crisis.

 

China’s distressed-debt managers, among the major lenders to developers, have been in turmoil amid a deepening property debt crisis and a slowing economy.

 

Smaller rival China Great Wall Asset Management Co. missed a second deadline at the end of June to publish its 2021 annual report, while China Cinda Asset Management warned in July that net income may drop between 30% to 35% in the first half, renewing investor concerns about the health of the $730 billion industry.

 

Created following the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s to safeguard China’s state-owned banks, Huarong and its peers expanded into everything from insurance and leasing to brokerage and trust through cheap borrowing from onshore and offshore markets, and turned into major shadow lenders themselves.

 

Huarong has been selling non-core assets including its banking and securities arms this year as part of a sweeping overhaul that also involved a government bailout and a change of ownership. The firm posted a net income of 370 million yuan last year after revealing a massive loss for 2020. Huarong said Tuesday in the filing that it would make “every effort” to separate and resolve risks, and relieve the difficulty for real estate-related projects.

Canada inflation eases to 7.6% in July, but analysts eye oversized rate hike

 

Canada's inflation rate eased slightly in July, as lower gasoline prices outweighed fast-rising food prices, official data showed on Tuesday, but economists said hot core measures suggest another outsized interest rate hike is still to come.

 

Canadian inflation slowed to 7.6% in July, matching analyst forecasts and down from 8.1% in June, Statistics Canada data showed. On a month-over-month basis, the index rose 0.1%, again matching forecasts. Mendes noted gasoline prices, up 35.6% in July versus 54.6% in June did much to blunt annual price acceleration, with food prices and demand-driven prices, such as flights and hotel rooms, still gaining speed. CPI common, which the central bank says is the best gauge of the economy's performance, hit 5.5% and June's number was revised sharply higher to 5.3%. CPI median edged up to 5.0% in July, while CPI trim eased slightly to 5.4%.

 

The average of those three preferred measures was at a record high, suggesting the economy would face price pressures for months to come, said Jay Zhao-Murray, market analyst at Monex Canada, boosting the case for another oversized interest rate hike in September. Hot inflation prompted the Bank of Canada last month to hike interest rates by a surprise 100 basis points. Inflation has been above the central bank's 1-3% control range since April 2021

Latest update on GDPNOW drops it from +2.5% to +1.8% but still keeps it positive and another 'update' tomorrow after Mortgage App Index, Retail Sales-also have FOMC meeting minutes released but this update will be done before those get released

 

Latest estimate: 1.8 percent — August 16, 2022

 

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2022 is 1.8 percent on August 16, down from 2.5 percent on August 10. After recent releases from the US Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Census Bureau, and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, a decrease in the nowcast of third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth from 0.2 percent to -3.6 percent was slightly offset by an increase in the nowcast of third-quarter real government spending growth from 1.7 percent to 2.0 percent. (so in other words 'spend our way out of this')

 

The next GDPNow update is Wednesday, August 17.

https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow

 

The CME FEDWatch is still about where it was after the CPI release last week with 59.5% for 25bp and 40.5% for 50bp-if it shifts hard over to 50bp and stays there then them pausing in Sept becomes harder to do-still sticking with that from a few months ago-pausing in Sept as 25bp is much easier to not do than an expectation of 50bp

Meme Stonks Explode As Retail Mania Storms Back: BBBY Halted +75%; GME Soars

 

If Powell hoped that a few rate hikes would contain the froth in the market that defined much of 2021, he suggest taking a quick look at what's going on at such meme stonks at BBBY which is up 75% today. or the OG of meme, GME, which also suddenly exploded higher and was also halted as a flood of hedge funds masking as retail investors flooded in hoping to sucker the reddit army into chasing momentum higher. Remarkably, the short interest in BBBY is not even that high - in a historical context-(cap #2 shows it at 47.22% as of July 31 so high as almost half current float but correct it's been much higher before-during it's B'ruptcy period) yet the repo rate to keep a short on is off the charts amid the float/liquidity vacuum-cap#3 (see Citadel and it's ability to "influence as it's flow it bought and paid for) And while traditionally retail investors justify this kind of herd squeeze by letting the man - supposedly Citadel or whoever - who is shorting these memes "have it", in this case all mom and pop investors - who will soon be stuck nursing massive losses - have achieved, is buy Ken Griffen another $100 million penthouse. Meanwhile SEC boss Gary Gensler is raging somewhere at cryptos for being an existential risk to investors.

The NAHB came in at below 50 today so they are 'less confident'-same thing applies here as in most of these surveys-anything below 50 represents a contraction "the eighth straight month of declines marking the worst stretch since the housing market collapsed in 2007"..so you see how quickly they need to declare this recession over and lower rates

 

Record Number Of Homebuyers Walk Away From Contracts As Builders Reel Amid Glut Of Unsold Houses

 

Between cratering homebuilder and homerbuyer confidence, record low home affordability a record number of new listing with price cuts (amid the collapse in demand). Plunging housing starts and so on, as the recent surge in mortgage rates has effectively pushed the housing market into a recession, which is now so widespread that 63,000 home-purchase agreements were called off in July, equal to 16% of homes that went under contract that month. According to Redfin, that's the highest percentage on record, and only the brief spike during the covid crash - which the promptly reversed - was worse. It’s up from a revised rate of 15% one month earlier and 12.5% one year earlier. The housing market is slowing as higher mortgage rates sideline many prospective homebuyers. With competition declining, the house hunters who are still in the market are enjoying newfound bargaining power, a striking contrast from just a few months ago, when buyers often had to pull out every stop in order to win. Today’s buyers are more likely to utilize contract contingencies that allow them to back out without financial penalty if something goes wrong. And with an increasing number of homes to choose from, they’re also more likely to call a deal off if a seller refuses to bring the price down or make requested repairs—a situation that has become increasingly common given that sellers are still adjusting to the cooling market. The biggest losers from the latest housing crash aren't sellers however, but rather homebuilders, who are suddenly finding themselves with a glut of unsold houses. (and since they habs no idea what slowing down or adjusting to market trends-see cap #1 means they just keep building-they will be crying for a bail-in/out by the time the election rolls around)

 

In June, 824,000 single-family homes were under construction in the US, more than at any time since October 2006, according to an NAHB analysis of government data. Unsold inventory has ballooned in part because of supply-chain disruptions and labor constraints that created bottlenecks in the production pipeline.

 

Now, with the economy entering in a recession, or already in one, builders are cutting back on starts, trying to avoid having too many completed homes sitting empty. They’re also applying for fewer building permits, which for single-family homes fell in June to a two-year low, according to data from the government-see cap#2

US Air Force conducts nuclear missile test delayed amid China tension

 

The U.S. Air Force early on Tuesday carried out a test of an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile, which was already delayed 12 days to avoid inflaming tension with China.

 

Air Force Global Strike Command said in a release that the Minuteman III missile was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California by the 576th Flight Test Squadron a little before 1 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. The ICBM was equipped with a test reentry vehicle, the release said, which splashed down about 4,200 miles from its original launch point in the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, the command said. The command added the test verified the Minuteman III is accurate and reliable, and produced data that will help ensure the nation’s nuclear deterrent is safe, secure and effective.

 

Squadron commander Col. Chris Cruise said in the release that the test shows the nuclear triad — which also includes the ability to launch nuclear weapons from submarines and drop them from nuclear-capable bombers such as the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber — is the “cornerstone” of national security for the U.S. and its allies. “This scheduled test launch is demonstrative of how our nation’s ICBM fleet illustrates our readiness and reliability of the weapon system,” Cruise said. “It is also a great platform to show the skill sets and expertise of our strategic weapons maintenance personnel and of our missile crews who maintain an unwavering vigilance to defend the homeland.” The test launch was originally intended to take place Aug. 4. But on that day, the White House announced the delay amid a controversial visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China objected to Pelosi’s visit, and on Aug. 4 had launched roughly 11 missile strikes near the coast of Taiwan, which China considers a rogue province and has threatened to take back control by force if necessary.

 

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said at the time that delaying the test launch was “the responsible thing to do” and condemned China’s missile launches as irresponsible and provocative. (but if we wait it's just fine-don't ferget you had these ijits in Taipei on Sunday and they are in Cambodia nao >>145866, >>145982 pb but I guess that wasn't as widely reported) “A strong, confident, capable nuclear power can afford to wait a couple of weeks for a test to make it clear — not just in word but in deed — how serious we are when we say we have no interest in escalating the tensions,” Kirby said in an Aug. 4 press briefing at the White House.

 

It was the second time this year a Minuteman III test had been delayed. The first came in March, when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin postponed another test to avoid further ratcheting up tension with Russia in the early days of its invasion of Ukraine. The most recent delay drew objections from some Republicans, such as Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, the ranking GOP member on the House Armed Services Committee. “These weak-kneed pearl-clutching attempts at appeasement hurt our readiness and will only invite further aggression by our adversaries,” Rogers said in a statement at the time.

 

Global Strike Command said the test launch involved months of preparation. Airmen from the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming and the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota also assisted with the launch as part of a task force. The 576th typically tests four Minuteman III ICBMs from Vandenberg each year, and Global Strike Command said more than 300 of these tests were previously carried out. Maj. Armand Wong, commander of the task force, said test launches are scheduled well in advance and are not carried out in response to recent world events.

>winter day time highs there pretty guud

I'm really glad you on that 'road'

If you did not have those summers to deal with you'd prolly be of different 'tude..dunno how w does it but thye used to it and isn't in same sitch as you either.

Liked it ftmp some of the nicest people there (south in general) never had any "uggh I have to go now" except for weather this time of year.

Again probably the nicest people I've ever met in those several visits to the south and FL.

Never had a bad experience from that standpoint-someone even stopped, in a total downpour on one of the raised highways to help me change a tire on rental car-could do it but just that much faster.

Would have ended up waiting fer hours if I called so just did it and those are not the safest places to be stranded in bad weather sitting in yer car..like waiting to be plowed in to and I wasn't gonna stand outside.

 

A comparison of Bay Area-so it depends on reference-where it kinda always been up own ass-loved the weather-the one thing I miss

German Air Force takes flight for first Indo-Pacific deployment

 

The German Air Force has sent a fleet of aircraft around the world for its first-ever deployment to the Indo-Pacific region, a move meant to demonstrate its operational capability during two regional exercises and to show solidarity with its allies there.

 

Six Eurofighter jets — painted with the flags of Germany, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, and Japan — left Neuburg Air Base Monday afternoon followed by four A400M multirole aircraft, and three A330 multirole tanker transport aircraft. The goal is to reach Singapore within 24 hours, with a pilot change taking place in Abu Dhabi. Upon arrival in Singapore, the aircraft will be transferred to Darwin, Australia, ahead of the biennial Pitch Black exercise taking place Aug. 19 to Sept. 9.“We want to demonstrate that we can be in Asia within a day,” said Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz, the air service’s chief of staff.

 

During the Pitch Black exercise, the German air force Eurofighters will practice air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks and defense while in larger formations with allied and partner fleets, according to the Luftwaffe. Once Pitch Black has concluded, the aircraft will also participate in the Royal Australian Navy’s Kakadu exercise, to be held Sept. 12-26. There, the Luftwaffe assets will help to protect naval vessels from the air, per the service.

She is the prototypical 'candidate' think of her profile and the state she got "elected" in.

Unthinkable not a few short years ago.

If her and her family spent moar time saying what she could do for Wyoming or for the country in general instead her failure in this election is solely down to disagreeing with 45...GFY Liz..have fun being a sad old woman

 

Gotta get the military reference in there

>She compares herself to Abe Lincoln

She is certainly running for Pres. but Potato will be long gone by then and kneepads is completely un-electable-it'll be against Newsome.

** Just this part of it EV tax credit extension and expansion hasn't even been defined yet..but we're gonna throw money at it-and I will say this again-one of the MAJOR components of all of this green energy crap is the need for electrical conductivity and what do you need for that?...Silver....where is this phantom supply going to come from?-not to mention the rare earth elements for the batteries that are proving to be moar expensive then the worth of the vehicles that need those battery packs replaced as the vehicles age

 

This from last month and the maintenance on these-the smart ones buy it-use it for a few years and then get another one-so how "green" is that?...this is a big issue as who is going to buy these used cars once this is moar widely known?
