• CPI also posted an unexpected result as the Core CPI increased by lower-than-expected 0.1% M-o-M instead for the

and insignificant CPI increase – the FOMC might consider that the delta variant is already cooling down the economy
significantly and a further tapering might not be necessary yet. Such a position is further complemented by the recent

It has been a tough week for Chinese Securities Market. Evergrande, Chinese real estate company, with almost 300 million in debt is failing. Company is out of cash and
is expected to default on its Bank loans on Monday and its bonds on Thursday. Share price of Evergrande decreased more than 85% from its all-time high, causing
major Asian Indexes to fall, such as Heng Seng Index is down 6% over the week. Failure of the Evergrande might spread over other Chinese companies probably causing
the financial crisis in China. Chinese securities analysts are expecting that banks will be affected as well. China is the second largest economy in the world and more
than 75% of world does trade with China. Possible financial crisis might have contagion effect to other markets because of its size and importance in world economy.
Critically enough, major US Equity index, S&P 500, which was in bullish trend and was trading above 50 day Exponential moving average more than 6 month, on Friday
broke down its trend and now is trading below 50 day moving average. Possible corporate tax rate hike and interest rate hike by the end of the year, combined with
probable financial crisis in China, might cause decrease in global equity prices.
