China New Car Sales Crash 37% In 4th Week Of June
June does not appear to be shaping up to be the month where Chinese auto sales "bounce back". Dealing with recessionary headwinds pre-Covid, the world's largest auto market has been decimated by the effect of the pandemic and doesn't look to be leading the world to any type of meaningful recovery any time soon.
Overnight the China Passenger Car Association said that retail car sales were down 37% YOY for the 4th week of June. This also paints an ugly picture for June's new car sales number, since we reported about 3 weeks ago that the first week in June was also off to an ugly start. In that article, we noted that retail car sales fell 10% year over year - but more importantly 20% from the same period in May - in the first week of June. June's interim data comes after what looked like the beginning of a rebound for the industry in May, to the extent that we can trust the numbers coming out of Beijing. This news comes despite better than expected results in May, where sales showed a 12% increase year over year.
According to The Detroit Bureau, premium and luxury passenger car retail sales led the charge in May, rising 28% last month compared with year-ago results. Those vehicles accounted for 1.61 million of the month's 2.14 million vehicles sold.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, or CAAM, had predicted an 11.7% jump for May, including commercial vehicle sales in its results. Predictions for June look ominous: the CPCA has said that June sales will decline in part because June 2019 was such a strong month for the industry. Meanwhile, the Chinese government is attempting to spur demand with new policies aimed at enticing buyers, according to Bloomberg, citing an unnamed automotive industry group in China.
Recall, we have recently noted that U.S. auto manufacturers are also teeing up sizeable incentives to get buyers back into showrooms. Europe is following suit, with Volkswagen starting a sales initiative to revive demand, including improved leasing and financing terms.
Outlook for the year in China remains less-than-optimistic. The CAAM predicts that sales will drop 15% to 25% for the year, depending on whether or not the country is able to further slow the spread of the virus.
June's full retail vehicle sales data should be available in days.

Faked travel records of Wirecard exec misled Philippine officials, info shows
MANILA: Faked immigration records in the Philippines were used to throw off authorities seeking a former executive at Wirecard AG who went missing after the German firm was implicated in an accounting scandal.
Immigration records seemed to indicate that Wirecard’s former second-in-command Jan Marsalek passed through the Philippines late last month. But video footage, airlines manifests and other records confirm that he never entered the country, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said in a text message Saturday.
“The investigation has now turned to the persons who made the false entries in the database, their motives, and their cohorts,” Guevarra said. “The immigration officers who encoded these fictitious entries have been relieved and are now facing administrative sanctions.” One of the two immigration personnel who had been relieved was stationed at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and the other at the head office in Manila, Guevarra said separately on Sunday.
They were transferred to other units pending investigation and will be slapped with appropriate sanctions should they be found culpable, he said. A fact-finding committee is looking if other persons were involved. Guevarra said the investigation would continue to determine whether criminal charges could be brought. The Financial Times first reported the fraudulent immigration records.
Germany issued an arrest warrant for Marsalek after he was dismissed by Wirecard on June 22 and auditors couldn’t find about €1.9 billion (US$2.1 billion) in cash at the payment processing company. The whereabouts of the former chief operating officer are still unknown.
Separately, the Philippine central bank is investigating allegations that documents were forged purporting to show Wirecard had deposit accounts at two of the country’s lenders.

a good way to start is to note tale alongside the current baker. Gives a good idea of timing(s) needed to accomplish the whole package w/o having the need to be "on it" the very first time.
>temperament
agree but after some time you don't even notice tha bullshit-complaints, baker is a shill, the muhjoo shit.
No one else in the space you occupy but you.
Easy to say but hard to get to when starting.
Was same way so I get that sentiment.
Hope to see you soon doing that as it is very rewarding whatever role you choose.

CDAN is just statements
