WSJ: China Stocks Are Battered Anew
Shanghai Composite Index is on the verge of bear-market territory
SHANGHAI—China’s stock-market slump deepened, as Beijing seeks to cool a yearlong debt-fueled rally without sparking a prolonged downturn that could spill over into the broader economy.
As China’s economic growth slowed last year, policy makers allowed brokers to lend billions of dollars to mom-and-pop investors, helping to set off a bull market. Now, fearing investors are taking on too much risk, authorities are trying to let some of the air out of the bubble.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 7.4% Friday and is off 19% since hitting a 52-week high on June 12, a decline that has wiped away $1.25 trillion in market capitalization, an amount roughly equal to the size of Mexico’s economy.
WNU Editor: This could get messy very quickly. Here is an easy prediction .... there are going to be a lot of anxious people on Monday.
