EU, China close to agreement over EV import tariffs, leading MEP says

The European Union last month decided to increase tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles to as much as 45.3% in its highest-profile trade investigation, a move that has divided Europe and triggered retaliation from Beijing. The tariffs, which became effective on Oct. 30, were imposed to counter what it says are unfair subsidies including preferential financing and grants as well as land, batteries and raw materials at below market prices. Despite the tariffs coming into force, both sides have continued negotiations to find a solution, fuelling hopes primarily among German carmakers — which heavily depend on the Chinese market — that a trade dispute can be averted. China’s Chamber of Commerce to the EU at the time said it was profoundly disappointed by the “protectionist” and “arbitrary” EU measure. submitted by /u/Pllover12 [link] [comments]

Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH could overcome key resistance despite profit-taking from recent 10% rally

Bloomberg: Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH could prevail if it retests key resistance Ethereum is down 1% following $49.32 million in futures liquidations in the past 24 hours. Liquidated long and short positions accounted for $28.32 million and $21 million, respectively. ETH has been trading within a key rectangle channel for the past two weeks, with resistance near $3,400 and support close to the $3,000 psychological level. The top altcoin saw a rejection at the rectangle’s resistance for the second time on Thursday and is testing the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) blue line. ETH/USDT 4-hour chart ETH/USDT 4-hour chart A decline below the EMA could send ETH to find support near the $3,000 psychological level. If ETH bounces off this level, it could see increased buying momentum to charge above $3,400. Such a move could see ETH rally nearly 10% toward the resistance level at $3,732. However, if the $3,000 support fails, ETH could decline toward the $2,817 key level, which was a critical support level for nearly four months — April to July. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above its neutral level and trending downward, indicating weakening bullish momentum. A daily candlestick close below $2,817 will invalidate the thesis. submitted by /u/Denchock [link] [comments]

TKL: China is panicking – Last week ALONE, China ETFs saw $2 billion of outflows, marking the largest weekly outflow in history. Despite deploying pandemic-like stimulus, recent data suggests that China’s economy is WORSENING.

https://preview.redd.it/9cn0hr42ah2e1.jpg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d540c6529ec7f3def70d7717cd71923ea097a6b Here’s a chart showing China ETF outflows last week. Following large inflows on China stimulus measures, investors began pulling out again. The largest China ETF, FXI, saw a record $984 million in withdrawals last week. China Internet ETF, KWEB, experienced $710 million outflows last week, also the most on record. Even as hundreds of billions of Dollars of stimulus have begun, Chinese consumer sentiment is terrible. Over the last 3 years, consumer confidence in China is down ~ 50 points. Such a drop in consumer assessment of the Chinese economy has almost never been seen before. Meanwhile, China’s central bank is buying gold like its 2008 again. For 17 STRAIGHT months, China’s central bank has been stockpiling gold. Last year alone, China added 225 TONS of golds to its reserves. This was the biggest increase since 1977. Foreign firms are also pulling money out of China for the first time in 30+ years. In Q3 2024, investors withdrew $8.1 billion from China, according to recent data. Year-to-date, investors have withdrawn a total of $12.8 billion from China, the most since at least 1998. And even with the prospect of stimulus, deflation in China continues. Prices in China fell for the sixth consecutive quarter in Q3 2024, the longest streak since 1999. This is 3 times longer than during the 2008 Financial Crisis when deflation lasted for 2 quarters. Lastly, this brings us back to a terrifying chart for China’s real estate sector. China’s HY real estate index fell a 82% from its highs in 2 years. Evergrande, China’s real estate giant, filed bankruptcy. submitted by /u/FXgram_ [link] [comments]

Looking for markets to short? Take a closer look at the Russian bond market. The risk of defaults here is pushed to the limit.

In the Russian bond market, the term “default” doesn’t imply collapse or catastrophe. It has become a fairly routine, albeit unpleasant, event – borrowers failing to meet their obligations on time. Recently, defaults have mostly involved smaller companies. However, the period of high interest rates has changed the game: over the past year, the obligations of bond issuers have grown two to three times, and so has the price of risk. Over the last two years, there have been more than 40 defaults (including technical ones) on exchange-traded bonds, totaling over 10 billion rubles and impacting more than 80,000 retail investors. Independent estimates suggest that the number of defaults could double in the next two years. These expectations are primarily driven by the high-interest rate environment. Just last summer, the key rate stood at 7.5 – 8.5%, but a year later, it has surged to 16%, and as of late October 2024, it reached 21%. The Central Bank has not ruled out another rate hike at its December board meeting, and market participants predict it could rise to 22 – 23%. Corporate bond yields have followed suit. According to Bonds Labs, yields on bonds issued by top-rated companies (such as Sberbank, Russian Railways, MTS, RusHydro, etc.) now range from 19% to 22% annually. Issuers with high credit ratings (e.g., RSHB, Rostelecom, EuroChem) are offering yields of 22–25% per year. For lower-quality bonds, yields have climbed to 30–33% annually. Servicing debt has effectively become two to three times more expensive for issuers compared to a year ago. And this high-rate period might persist. While analysts expect the key rate to decline in 2025, the drop is likely to be modest – to around 18 – 19%. The Central Bank’s forecast for the average rate next year is 17 – 20%. These conditions make rising concerns about issuers’ ability to meet their obligations entirely reasonable. This is especially true for issuers of so-called high-yield bonds, which carry elevated investment risks. “Clearly, in an environment of extremely high rates that will remain until at least mid-to-late 2025, servicing and refinancing debt will be exceptionally challenging for such companies, potentially leading to a surge in defaults in the public debt market,” analysts warn. The next peaks in corporate bond repayments in Russia are expected in Q4 2024, as well as in February and April 2025. If high rates persist, “the resilience of companies to interest rate pressures may be severely depleted.” submitted by /u/XGramatik [link] [comments]
