More global firms eye Hong Kong for cheaper yuan loans, bonds: StanChart (SCMP)
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
China Vanke posted a record 88.56 billion yuan (US$12.83 billion) loss last year in the latest sign that mainland Chinese property developers continue to struggle under debt pressure and slowing residential sales as a full market recovery remains nowhere in sight following five years of decline.

Citing people familiar, Bloomberg reports that the cargoes were booked at premiums of $5 to $15 a barrel to Brent. The volume is similar to the amount of purchases for this month, but more than double than that for February, according to data intelligence firm Kpler.
The buying spree followed a US waiver that allowed India to take Russian oil that was already loaded onto vessels before March 5 to offset shortages caused by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The measure was subsequently expanded to include other countries and updated to allow purchases of crude already at sea before March 12.
