cent i: It was the ASX200's worst day since February 6, 2018, when the index lost 192.9 points, or 3.2 per cent, according to The Independent. I think we're in for a lot more pain for the months ahead, said Xchainge founder Nick Twidale, who said he stood by his prediction from after last week's two-day, 291-point sell-off that the market could lose half its gains for the year. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Thursday tumbled 187.8 points, or 2.85 per cent, to 6,408.1 points while the broader All Ordinaries shed 186.7 points, or 2.8 per cent, to 6,490.8 points. Despite three weeks of losses, the ASX200 is still up 761 points, or 13.5 per cent, since January 1. The global rout came after investors poured money into long-term US bonds, dropping yields on 10-year bonds temporarily below the yield on two-year Treasuries for the first time since 2007.A similar yield curve inversion has occurred before each of the past seven recessions and investors pulled billions from global markets on fears it was signalling another. I think there could be a significant downside correction to come in the next month of so, Mr Twidale said, adding the only thing he saw that could boost the market would be a US-China trade deal.

chinese clients: Another banker said at least two companies are considering the same move for IPOs worth a combined 1 billion, adding that final decisions will depend on market conditions and whether the turmoil in Hong Kong eases. ; While the deals amount to a small portion of the money raised by Chinese businesses in Hong Kong in recent years, they bode ill for the city's status as one of the world's premier financial hubs, according to The Japan Times. The two senior bankers said Chinese clients are worried about more than just this week's shutdown of Hong Kong's airport and other logistical headaches caused by the protests; they are also questioning whether the city will remain a stable place to do business over the long term. One company scrapped preliminary preparations for a 500 million initial public offering in Hong Kong partly because of the unrest, and will instead pursue a U.S. listing, according to a senior banker on the deal, who asked not to be named discussing private information. The social and political instability has had an impact on people's perceptions, said David Cho, a partner at law firm Dechert LLP who is based in Hong Kong. The city's benchmark Hang Seng Index has tumbled 12 percent over the past three weeks as clashes between protesters and police turned increasingly violent, raising fears that the Chinese military may intervene to restore order.

The 225-issue Nikkei average plunged 249.48, or 1.21 percent, to end at 20,405.65. The benchmark Nikkei average expanded its loss by some 400 points in the first 30 minutes. Fears of a global recession were fueled by dismal Chinese and German macroeconomic data released the previous day, brokers said.

oil tankers: Iran denied it was behind the tanker attacks, although it has seized other tankers, according to The Japan Times. Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said the U.S. was still on time to request a new legal procedure for seizing the Grace 1, but that provisions under the European Union's sanctions regulations were ending Thursday after the Iranian government assured him in writing that the ship will not send its 2.1 million barrels of crude to a sanctioned entity in Syria. The release of the Grace 1 comes amid a growing confrontation between Iran and the West after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers over a year ago. ; In past weeks, the Persian Gulf region has seen six attacks on oil tankers that the U.S. has blamed on Iran and the downing of a U.S. surveillance drone by Iranian forces. Reacting to the developments, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accused the U.S. of trying to steal our property on the high seas. It was not clear whether the Grace 1 would sail away immediately; nor was it known what the Trump's administration strategy was. Having failed to accomplish its objectives through its Economic Terrorism including depriving cancer patients of medicine the US attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas, Zarif tweeted, calling the Trump administration's moves a piracy attempt.

outlook group: This comes a day after recession mongers leapt on the spread between the 10-year TMUBMUSD10Y, 2.09% and the 2-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD02Y, -0.89%, which briefly inverted Wednesday, according to Market Watch. For those of you who missed the significance of that move, it's a recessionary red flag that has predicted some past downturns. That's our call of the day's message, from The Economic Outlook Group's chief global economist Bernard Baumohl, who says rising expectations of a global downturn are becoming a little nutty. Stocks wasted no time in adding to August's losses. It's the extent to which American consumers will offset the damage done by policies that impede world trade and reverse globalization, he told clients in a note. Back to Baumohl's argument, who suggests looking past that argument The key determinant that will shape the path of the economy this time won't be the yield curve or the direction of the fed-funds rate.

investors burford: Muddy Waters, a San Francisco-based hedge fund, said the pair's relationship posed a conflict of interest and should alarm investors, according to The Guardian. Burford said on Thursday Concern has been raised about the fact that Burford's CEO and chief financial officer are married. Burford, which specialises in funding lawsuits in exchange for a cut of the settlements, has faced criticism over the fact that its chief financial officer, Elizabeth O'Connell, is married to the chief executive, Christopher Bogart. We believe that concern is unjustified given Burford's control structure and ignores Burford's finance and accounting structure. O'Connell will now serve in the lower-tier role of chief strategy officer. Nevertheless it is clear that investors would prefer an alternative CFO. O'Connell, appointed in 2017, has been replaced by Jim Kilman, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

low-interest-rate person: Others point to her conversion into a low-interest-rate person . Still others highlight her advocacy of the gold standard as insulating US monetary policy from an unreliable Fed, according to The Guardian. These interpretations all miss the point, which is that Shelton is a proponent of fixed exchange rates. Some emphasise Shelton's fidelity as an early adviser to the Trump campaign. Her belief in fixed rates is catnip to an administration that sees currency manipulation as a threat to winning its trade war. But a 10% tariff that is offset by a 10% depreciation of foreign currencies against the dollar leaves the relative prices of US imports unchanged. Team Trump wants to compress the US trade deficit and enhance the competitiveness of domestic manufactures by using tariffs to raise the price of imported goods. (news.financializer.com).

treasury debts: For China, a potential global recession could add more pressure to the country's already-slowing economy, but policymakers in Beijing have already prepared an array of measures from deepening reforms to adjusting monetary and fiscal policies to ensure stable growth ahead of a critical time as the country celebrates its 70th birthday, according to Global Times China. Looming recession The first warning sign for economic recession came from what's known as an inverted yield curve for US government bonds. There is one country to blame for what could be yet another disastrous economic crisis the US, according to analysts. For the first time since 2007, which was even before the global financial crisis in 2008, the yields on short-term US Treasury debts exceeded those of long-term ones, a sign of shrinking investor confidences in the short-term prospects of the US economy. Europe's largest economy is just another contraction away from officially entering a recession.

Yield-curve inversion Analysts pointed to weak German and Chinese economic data as warning signs of a possible world economic slowdown, according to The Independent. But most importantly, the analysts pointed to a so-called yield curve inversion for interest rates on two- and 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. Tokyo's Nikkei index closed down 1.2% Thursday. Typically, interest rates on government bonds held for a long time are higher than those held for shorter periods. It was the first time such an interest rate inversion had occurred since 2007, at the start of the U.S. recession that was the country's worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. But the reverse was in effect Wednesday, and the analysts see it as a sign that investors have worries about the immediate state of the U.S. economy. (news.financializer.com).

world economy: This could also create failed states, according to Global Times China. The world economy is under stress from the US administration. This war is economic and asymmetric, and it risks leading to a total collapse of some economies and currencies. The conflict is not about putting boots on the ground, but rather using international economic power and laws that were put in place by the US a century ago to reshape the world. To make it sound acceptable and less confrontational we use the words like disputes or national security or unfair trade. Of course, there is also the threat of military confrontation as a backup plan. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
