How big of a deal is this? I feel like this is already factored into the market with the news several years back that they were up to their eyeballs in debt and China was working to restructure things. People had to know they were over their heads.

Or is this a tipping point for China market guiding the way to something bigger for the US?

I think it’s the canary in the coal mine, frankly. A sign of things to come. We are about to enter a nasty little recession I fear.

Been a wild day in the markets.

Stocks down a little
Bitcoin down a lot
Evergrande out of Biz

Get the dry powder ready boys. It's time to make some money.

At it’s going to be worse than a little recession. This is a massive build up that has taken years to get here. The unwinding to balance it will be painful

Evergrande has billions in US dollar denominated assets that were purchased with the Dollar. China won’t bail them out, let’s see if US government does since this will be a hit on the dollar

Why would it be "a hit" on the dollar?

If anything, wouldn't the dollar strengthen as the safe-haven currency? IMO, the negative impact would be on the yuan and not the U.S. dollar.

Evergrande has billions in properties across the United States. Transactions that were conducted in US currency. The government of the USA has two choices, bail out US Evergrande assets, or let them fold and close the properties down having thousands of people laid off/banks out billions in bad debt. If they do bail them out then inflation will spike

Even if that is true, I don't know how that's relevant. If the developer used gold to pay for developing the properties, would it declaring bankruptcy cause the value of gold to collapse?

During the last real estate financial crisis (2008/2009) the U.S. dollar got stronger, not weaker. And there were massive interventions to bail out real estate lenders and bondholders then.

This is more of a worry

If loans were extended to finance the real estate in the US, and the debtor is basically insolvent, the creditors are going to take a major hit on their balance sheets. We saw a similar issue with the mortgage defaults in 2008 that in turn brought down the investment firms that were invested heavily in mortgage-backed securities.

Edit: I do agree with your point re: the strength of the dollar actually improving though. But again, if economic activity slows down like it did in 2008, that’s very little comfort for most folks.

Yeah the futures are really crashing on this news. Everyone knew this company was filing Chapter 15 bankruptcy 2 years ago.

Dollar has been ripping lately. This is a nothingburger. China has complete control over their economy unlike us. They can manipulate the shite out of whatever they want to keep it propped up.

It sure appears so. It’s been over 4 hours since this thread was posted and I can’t find a single front page story about it on any of the national websites. U.S. stock futures for tomorrow mornings open are positive which are not indicative of an anticipated financial crisis.
