Update: *SHANGHAI B-SHARE INDEX PLUNGES 7.8%
*SHANGHAI B-SHARE INDEX TUMBLES MOST IN FOUR MONTHS

Just as we saw in August, Yuan weakness was followed by sudden surge in money market rates (which was followed by a collapse in stocks)

(note – while we would expect some year-end window-dressing shenanigans in money-markets, the fact that ‘panic’ has not unspiked this time in 1 week HIBOR is concerning)
