How Chinese are going to finance their Stimulus Package of equivalent 586 Billion US Dollar? Are they going to Sell part of the reserves which are mostly in Treasuries? Or they will at least buy less in the open market? Both ways it is not very positive news for a US Corp which needs to finance 1 trillion dollars deficit this year. On another hand it is great news for Gold, Silver and Commodities and all Asian markets rallied on this news. This is decoupling we have discussed over the weekend happening right now.
"China Stimulus Plan Will Boost Stocks Sentiment (Update2)
By Chua Kong Ho
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- China's 4-trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus plan will boost stock-market sentiment, Morgan Stanley said, predicting short-term rallies for steelmakers, building materials producers and financial companies.
``Beijing has done the right thing to beat market expectations on stimulus package size,'' Morgan Stanley's analyst Jerry Lou wrote in a note to clients today. ``That is why we think market sentiment will improve.''
The stimulus package, of which 100 billion yuan is earmarked for this quarter, will be spent on low-rent housing, roads, railways and airports and infrastructure in rural areas. The funds, equivalent to almost a fifth of China's gross domestic product last year, will be used by the end of 2010, the Beijing-based State Council said yesterday on its Web site.
China's CSI 300 Index, a measure of local-currency stocks traded in Shanghai and Shenzhen, has declined 69 percent this year as the global economy slowed, cutting demand for the nation's exports. The stock measure, the worst performer in Asia, gained 6.3 percent to 1,783.19 at 10:11 a.m. today.
``Higher social welfare spending and rural reforms will help boost consumption,'' Jing Ulrich, chairwoman of China Equities at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said in an e-mail. While economic risks remain, ``the stock market will start to anticipate the positive impact,'' she wrote.
The government will allow tax deductions for purchases of fixed assets such as machinery to stimulate investment, a move that will reduce companies' costs by an estimated 120 billion yuan.
To be sure, ``considerable uncertainties'' remain over the ultimate size of the plan, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. economist Song Yu said in an e-mailed report today.
``The amount of `extra' investments involved is still not clear at this point,'' wrote Song, adding that not all of the 4 trillion yuan will be spent by the government.
