Stock Transfer Tax Triples — China Finance Ministry to Stock Market: We’d Like a 15-20% Correction?
After months of hints and proclamations of irrational exuberance from official and unofficial (Li Ka-shing) sources, China’s Ministry of Finance yesterday announced an increase in the stamp tax on stock transactions to 0.3% from 0.1%. The Chinese markets fell steeply.
???????????????3‰??????????????4053.09???281.83????6.5???????12627.15???829.45????6.16?????????4200???????????
The reaction from Morgan Stanley:
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????6?5?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Citibank claims investors were over-reacting.
On what basis do these pundits claim the Finance Ministry is looking for a 15-20% correction? And then state that a 40-50% correction would induce the Ministry to invoke measures to stimulate the market?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????40-50?????????????????
