SoftBank Tumbles As China Portfolio Slumps, Market Demands More Buybacks SoftBank is having a tough time. Barely one year removed from its post-WeWork "comeback", SoftBank shares are once again in the doldrums as many of the firm''s massive bets on China (its massive stake in Alibaba, along with investments in Didi and several other Chinese firms) have gone sour. And as investors react to Didi''s imminent delisting from the NYSE, and its plans for transferring the shares to Hong Kong, SoftBank is seeing top executives like Marcelo Claure demand massive payout s, leaving it little choice but to liquidate some of its holdings at steep losses. Just as we expected , China''s central bank announced Monday that it would cut its reserve ratio to quiet markets as Evergrande scrambles to make its next round of bond payments. But over in Japan, shares of SoftBank plunged nearly 10%, capping off a 7-day streak of losses (which isn''t over yet), as the Japanese conglomerate was bogged down by its numerous investments in Chinese firms, including Didi.

The Indonesian rupiah hit an over three-month low on Monday, as Asia''s emerging markets were mixed amid investors assessing the potential economic fallout of the new Omicron variant and an increasingly hawkish commentary from the US Federal Reserve. Rupiah fell for a fourth straight session to its lowest since Aug. 20, while South Korea''s won weakened 0.5%, its biggest intraday drop in nearly three weeks, against the dollar. Among regional equities, Indonesia, Singapore and Philippine shares gained between 0.7% and 1.4%, while India''s Nifty 50 shed 0.7% after the country reported more cases of the Omicron variant over the weekend. Regional investors are awaiting inflation and trade data from manufacturing powerhouse China, while also facing a week-long wait for US inflation data that could settle the course for interest rates, likely making the case for early tapering. "Fed speakers, including Jerome Powell, have been more vocal around the risks from persistently higher inflation, and with it the implicit assumption of a faster timeline for ending asset purchases and subsequently raising the policy rate," analysts at Mizuho Bank said in a note. "The timeline towards an expedited taper being announced at the December meeting is increasingly being priced in." Chinese yuan strengthened against the dollar as analysts expect the world''s second-largest economy to withstand the fallout from the Omicron variant better than its peers.
