China's liquidity crunch feared to finally take its 'small toll'

Hang Seng Index fell 7%.

According to BofAML, the eventful June finally came to an end, leaving behind a broad selloff in EM and a self-inflicted interbank liquidity squeeze in China.

In a single month Hang Seng Index and Shanghai Composite fell 7% and 14% respectively.

Here's more from BofAML:

On the data front, we see it is not as bleak as the stock markets would suggest, but major macro data could come in weaker than May on sluggish external demand, a halt of inventory buildup and the interbank liquidity squeeze.

Growth of IP and FAI could continue to trend down, while growth of trade and retails sales could largely stay flat. New loans could rebound in June but TSF could remain roughly unchanged from RMB1.19tn in May.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
