Martin Enlund: Global: protonic reversalNordea
Three market themes intersected this week: the Chinese market rout, Grexit fears materializing more fully, and a re-priced supply outlook for oil. Market is pricing the first Fed rate hike in March-2016 - consistent with a negative impact on global activity from a prolonged period of uncertainty. When Greece worries subside, the EUR (& yields) will bounce, but for a more material upturn we also need liquidations of the Chinese reflation trade to stop.

Daily MacroWSJ
China’s equity market rout is raising a number of big questions: Are Chinese policy makers geniuses or have they been lucky so far? Is a slowing Chinese economy laying bare the distortions and inefficiencies caused by often politically driven credit growth? Will the Chinese government feel the need to launch another massive round of fiscal and monetary stimulus to shore up the country’s asset markets and help its banks make good on a rising volume of bad debts? Meanwhile, commodity prices have taken a beating – not only has China been the world’s paramount consumer of raw goods during the past decade and more, it’s been the locus of major commodity market speculation. Elsewhere, the Greek crisis crunches on. The latest deadline for a deal is Sunday, with the Greek government due to deliver an amended plan to its eurozone partners this week. A last-minute compromise is still possible, but it’s hard to see which side is going to give way on positions held consistently during the past five months. Still, extend and pretend has been the primary mode of operation.

Today it's all about China as equity markets tumble, anxiety reaches fever pitch and debt-ridden Greece is pushed slightly into the background. Chinese emergency measures and the direct intervention of the Chinese premier has failed to halt the rout and over 500 listed Chinese companies are now suspended from trading.

Markets Remain on Edge

Daily ShotTF
While Chinese stocks continue to fall despite government intervention this trend has spilled over to other markets. Metal prices are down as well and so is oil. Also currencies from other commodity-exporting nations have come under pressure.
