Hong Kong preferred base as Chinese SOEs consolidate overseas accounts in treasury hubs (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are consolidating scattered overseas accounts into unified treasury hubs, with Hong Kong emerging as the preferred base amid a broader crackdown on outflows of state cash.
Decades of overseas expansion had seen many SOEs build up assets in multiple jurisdictions, leaving cash management fragmented and making it harder for regulators and company headquarters to track liquidity, foreign-exchange risk and cross-border financing, analysts said.

Hong Kong′s Chinese bond futures are a major step for the global yuan (SCMP)
|
|
|
On August 3, five-year Chinese treasury bond futures began trading on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Market attention has focused on the new product, but its real significance emerges when set against the deep shifts under way in the international monetary system.
History offers a clear lesson: no currency has graduated from a trade settlement currency to a genuine investment and reserve currency on the strength of trade flows alone. Behind every reserve currency stands a government bond market......

|
|
|
Die Mischung aus geopolitischer Safe-Haven-Nachfrage und geldpolitischer Zinserhöhungsfantasie hat dem US-Dollar zum Comeback verholfen. Das schützt ihn aber nicht vor der Grundsatzdiskussion über seine weltweite Führungsrolle. Trotz „gefühlter“ USD-Skepsis hat sich die De-Dollarisierung zuletzt nicht beschleunigt. Der übergeordnete Trend zur stärkeren Diversifizierung der staatlichen Reserveportfolios bleibt intakt.. --- Gewinner sind „alternative“ Reservewährungen wie der Australische Dollar oder Chinas Renminbi, der größte Gewinner ist aber Gold. Zentralbanken besitzen heute mehr Gold als US-Staatsanleihen..

The People's Bank of China is reportedly introducing new metrics, potentially impacting issuers with wider yield spreads. This scrutiny could shake up the domestic bond market and test its recent rally....
