MASSIVE Stimulus Checks sent to Chinese | Economic Collapse
FULL TRANSCRIPT
stimulus checks are back this is not
something I thought I would be covering
for China yes stimulus checks have just
been announced for quote the poor before
their National Day ministries of finance
and civil Affairs are apparently going
to offer living subsidies to dis
disadvantaged groups including very poor
people and orphans local authorities are
trying to get this money out before
October 1st this is very very rare you
usually you only see stimulus from the
top down in China and this sort of
exacerbates the deflationary Spiral that
you've been facing in China we'll get
into some more details on these checks
in just a moment but consider this for a
moment what's really important right now
in China are the expectations of further
policy support uh analysts and experts
on China say that right now this sort of
stimulus bazooka we got over the last 24
hours from The People's Bank of China is
not enough to change market dynamics
just yet in fact if you just take a look
at the hangsang index this is sort of
your uh yeah I think it's a 52 or 58 uh
constituents uh that make up somewhere
around 80% of the Chinese market cap any
if you take a look at them yesterday
morning well I mean their version of
today when their Market opened they were
going to be up somewhere around 4% but
take a look at this the market already
sold that 4% off down to just 68 basis
points of gains which don't get me wrong
it's still positive but you could see
you went straight down Futures were the
rest of the difference here but anyway
look at the niay over here the Nay also
ran initially fell ran into lunch fell
ran fell just couldn't keep it up uh you
did have the docks over in Germany start
rotating at least towards the positive
direction it did rotate up yesterday on
the news of this Chinese stimulus their
Market's obviously still open at this uh
point in time but uh only uh uh well
sitting at 32 basis points so you're not
even up you had oil rally yesterday uh
oil rallied a about 2% now it's down
almost 2% again oil and the
international blend Brent right here so
it's almost like markets are really
skeptical of this Chinese stimulus that
is this actually going to be enough uh
to keep the Chinese economy out of a
recession if you look at gold the answer
is probably no I mean you just hit
another record high look at this
2682 right now we're almost at $2,700 an
ounce for gold it's been an incredible
mover now some other facts to look at
and uh and details to understand
regarding the stimulus is that deflation
is is just unfortunately for China very
structural now I see in the comments a
lot of people are hoping that we'll have
deflation in the United States but
deflation is self-perpetuating
self-fulfilling and it's usually
associated with a recession it's usually
associated with you losing your job so
you know we look at this as like oh but
prices will be lower great but you won't
be able to afford anything because you
won't have work this deceleration is is
very bad that you're seeing in China and
frankly it's Gathering momentum it's not
slowing down it's basically getting
worse faster so yes hopefully this
latest stimulus bazooka that we've seen
can help China get ahead uh but so far
the more China stimulates to build out
capex the more you create a deflationary
spiral of more Manufacturing more
potential manufacturing jobs and more
deflation as you now have created more
competition even though the Market's not
asking for that that's why now you're
getting a fiscal policy response of okay
well let's give poor people checks
that's great and could be a good chunk
of money for some I don't think it'll be
this High I think they'll really broaden
out how many people receive these but
there are currently
4.74 million uh extremely poor uh in
China and uh they're allocating right
now about four uh oops let's see it here
there we go a little oopsy doopy 22
billion so if we take $22 billion and we
divide it by
4.74 one two 3 million people that could
be as much as about $4,600 per each of
those people now given that China has a
population of over about 1.5 billion
people I would suspect that more than
just 4.7 million are going to be
eligible for these checks and so
therefore the checks will probably be
closer to something we saw during covid
which in China was closer to about
$500 uh in the United States we had
stimulus of somewhere around $6,000 per
person on average uh anyway national day
is a major holiday it's usually a
holiday that sees a lot of travel and
consumption so they're hoping that'll
sort of offset the property slump and
sort of the pretty gloomy stock market
you've had out there you do you are
starting to see Central Bankers are
actually sort of appreciating this idea
of like okay cool yeah maybe if we could
just pump the stock market to alltime
highs we can kind of like keep the
economy out of recession and frankly so
far it's working I mean look at the
United States for example uh Atlanta fed
now real GDP data uh showing us at a
2.99% estimate for Q3 GDP we do get uh a
GDP report tomorrow so pay attention to
that and wow we're pricing in 59% chance
right now of getting a 50 basis point
cut in November already that's pretty
remarkable but uh tomorrow September
26th at 5:30 in the morning we'll be
getting a GDP annualized quarter over
quarter now keep in mind that's just the
third read for Q2 so it's kind of old
data it's not really going to help us a
lot same thing for the GDP price data
for Q2 I think what's going to be a
little bit more useful and probably more
likely to move the market is at that
same time we're going to get
unemployment claims and continuing
claims which we're expecting to be
224,000 1.82
6 million so we'll see we will get
durable orders and cap Goods but I don't
think those are going to be as uh
pressing as those unemployment claim
numbers this all comes at the same time
as now China has apparently launched the
first ICBM into International Water
since like the 80s which is kind of
crazy to see uh it's also a little bit
scary because it's kind of like wait a
minute why are you doing this China it's
like they're trying to show us uh that
they too can be a
boss uh not great great uh but then
you've also got uh some more
expectations obviously that this is just
the beginning of more easing for example
they cut their um medium loan facility
rates down to 2% from 2.3 it's a 30 Bas
basis point cut that might not mean a
lot to you so I'm just going to put it
this way it's the largest cut since 2016
uh then uh you know the yuan is
obviously strengthening on this because
the United States is is you know cutting
rates and their concerns potentially
over recession or not uh where you know
they are stimulating now actively on
both actually now a fiscal and uh
economic side uh and uh there's some
talk that they might end up moving to uh
ending like reducing rates that people
get on their deposits uh and not just
people but also corporations they
haven't done that yet but there's some
talk that they might end up doing that
uh and if they do that you could then
really see uh maybe some inflows into
spending is a theory or it'll just
people make people even more nervous
because that's what happens during
deflationary times people get even more
nervous and they purposefully stop
spending so we'll see but anyway some
more info there uh markets continue to
look for any kind of signs that they can
regarding recession in unemployment
claimed numbers I personally have said
it before I'll say it again I think it's
kind of nonsensical to look at
unemployment claim numbers mostly
because you generally don't see a large
wave of unemployment until you're
already in a recession you don't see
those unemployment claims until it's
already too late uh so we'll see
but what would be good is seeing the
opposite right let's see those 27 weeks
unemployed and longer start declining
again let's start seeing these
unemployment claim numbers come in even
lower those are all things that could
potentially reiterate that hey you know
maybe things are getting better not
worse right now if we look at the 27
weeks unemployed we can see you know
pretty solid uptake over here on the
right and if you zoom out you always get
an uptake like that in recession you
generally don't see the uptakes absent
recession so again I mean you had a
little uptick over here in like 63 but
uh it looks like our magnitude is a
little larger over here but we'll see
the where the trajectory of these
numbers goes now will determine how much
markets try to price in recession do
keep in mind that very few people
actually think we're with certainty
going to have a recession here which is
actually exactly what I would expect
going into into a recession is most
people aren't going to think we're in a
recession yet uh let's go find out it
was the conference board that did a
reading on this uh take a look at this
uh okay expectations index based on
consumer short-term Outlook declined to
81.7 but remains above 80 a reading
below 80 is usually the threshold of a
recession ahead okay perfect the
proportion of consumers anticipating a
recession over the next 12 months
remained low so not quite in recession
category yet at least regarding the
sentiment data but certainly going to be
data that we're going to watch and this
is exactly what they're trying to U-turn
in China where they're trying to get
ahead of this miserable sentiment let's
see what happens as time goes on why not
advertise these things that you told us
here I feel like nobody else knows about
this we'll we'll try a little
advertising in see go congratulations
