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.

"Staggering 1-Day Moves": Nomura Warns The Market "Remains Shockingly Dysfunctional" Earlier today we observed that amid the market turmoil of the past month, hedge funds have been unwinding net exposure at a furious pace and selling (or shorting) to retail investors, who paradoxically have been buying at the fastest pace on record . We got some incremental data this morning from Goldman, which noted that the bank''s prime book (hedge fund-facing) was heavily net sold to start December ( largest 1-day $ net selling since September, -2.5 SDs vs. the average daily net flow of the past year) , driven by continued short sales and to a much lesser extent long sales (9 to 1). The frenzied shorting, which occurred in the context of sharp net deleveraging ... probably explains why stocks are surging today as the crowd is now scrambling to cover. What about recent developments in the arcane world of Greeks? Well, despite the furious melt-up short squeeze, Nomura''s Charlie McElligott warns that there remains risk of further systematic de-leveraging as previously dormant realized vol finally crashed-up to stress already well-flagged by previously discussed spikes in Skew, Put Skew, rVol : iVol, Term Structure, etc.

As Markets Brace For Beijing Easing, Chinese State Media Unveils 25bps RRR Cut Before Year-End While some in the market are still obsessing over i) when the Fed will end its taper and ii) when it will commence liftoff, or start the rate hiking process which according to the latest market-implied odds, will begin in June instead of July (spoiler alert - it won''t) ... the real question traders should be asking is how long after the Fed''s attempt to tighten financial policy crashes and burns, because with record duration in the corporate bond market - the same bond market that the Fed already bailed out in March 2020 and so it will never let it crash again - it will take just a few rate hikes for everything to collapse. So in a preview of things to come to the US, over the weekend, Chinas central bank signaled possible easing measures to aid the economys recovery after a sharp downturn in recent months fueled by a property slump. In its latest quarterly monetary policy report published Friday, the Peoples Bank of China removed from its policy outlook a few key phrases cited in previous reports, including sticking with normal monetary policy . Additionally, as Goldman''s Maggie Wei wrote in her PBOC monpol post-mortem, the bank noticed three changes in the Q3 report compared with Q2: PBOC added monetary policy should be based on domestic economic situation - "monetary policy would give prominence to domestic economic situation"; PBOC stated monetary policy should "give greater priority to serving the real economy and to enhance the stability of broad credit growth"; instead of "to guide lending rates lower" as mentioned in the Q2 report, Q3 report stated PBOC would work on "lowering financing cost for SMEs".
