Just As All Hope Seemed Lost, China Reports Miraqculously Good Economic Data Going into Tuesday, all hope seemed lost in China. First , China reported a whopping 5,154 new covid cases (3,507 new local confirmed Covid cases and 1,647 asymptomatic cases) for Monday, well more than double from the day before, and confirming that the country''s covid troubles - which over the past 48 hours led to the lockdown of Shenzhen and other cities - are only getting worse. So worse, in fact, that questions have emerged: how did China not report more than 100 cases on any one day for two years, and then now - with the Ukraine war raging - Beijing is suddenly locking down key US supply chain arteries. For the past two years, China had at most 50-100 new daily covid cases. Now it''s 5000, and it is shutting down key supply chain arteries that feed the US economy. So bizarre — zerohedge (@zerohedge) March 15, 2022 Second , for the second day in a row, the PBOC fixed the yuan more than 100 pips weaker than expected, as the central bank telegraphs it will no longer tolerate a weak currency, relentless capital inflows be damned, as the country remembers that it is after all, an export-driven mercantilist which above all, needs a favorable exchange rate.

Recently red-hot energy prices got hosed down on Monday, but that gave only limited relief to equities, and only in a few select quarters. U.S. crude oil futures plunged 5.8% to $103.01 per barrel, heading lower early in the day as Ukraine and Russia conducted fresh peace talks. Further downward pressure came from COVID-related lockdowns in China''s Shenzhen and Jilin provinces, as well as reports indicating that the U.S. might ease sanctions on Venezuela to get more oil on the market. SEE MORE 10 Beaten-Down Tech Stocks to Buy for the Long Term The drawdown in oil prices, which helped to soothe mounting inflation worries, lifted the broader equity indexes in the morning. Tempering that optimism, however, was a rise in Treasury rates ahead of the Federal Reserve''s much-anticipated March 15-16 meeting to determine the direction of its benchmark rate. "Our view remains that Fed interest rate hikes will likely begin this week with a 25-basis-point (0.25%) increase and then three to four more rate hikes at subsequent meetings in 2022," say LPL Financial strategists Lawrence Gillum and Ryan Detrick. "However, if inflationary pressures remain stubbornly high and we start to see longer-term inflation expectations become unanchored, the Fed may be forced to move more aggressively than what is even already priced in." As if that weren''t worrisome enough, investors also must keep a wary eye on Europe, where several countries have detected a COVID variant dubbed "deltacron," that shares elements of both the delta and omicron strains.
