☆ Fed Rate Moves Squeeze a Key U.S. Ally
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Frances Yoon | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Currency traders at KEB Hana Bank’s headquarters in Seoul. Photo: Ahn Young-joon/Associated PressSouth Korea’s alliance with the U.S. has strengthened during the Biden presidency. But the country’s economy has fallen victim to the rapid rise in U.S. interest rates, showing how Federal Reserve decisions—and the uncertainty around them—can send ripples around the world. The Fed has embarked on a historic spree of interest-rate rises since early 2022, an attempt to rein in inflation that peaked at 9.1% in the middle of last year. Central banks across the globe have followed these moves, partly out of a desire to protect their currencies, which can suffer as rising Treasury yields encourage international investors to dump overseas assets and buy U.S. bonds.

☆ China’s Country Garden Was Given a Second Chance to Make a Bond Payment. It Failed.
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Rebecca Feng | Frances Yoon | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Country Garden, once seen as one of China’s most stable property developers, is now struggling financially, leaving the future of unfinished megadevelopments like Malaysia’s Forest City in doubt. Here’s how overbuilding, and a streak of bad luck, have left China’s real-estate developers in the red. Photo: Adam AdadaChinese property giant Country Garden has missed a final deadline to pay interest on a dollar bond, capping a remarkable fall from grace for a company that was once considered among the safest developers in the country. The company hasn’t made a $15.4 million interest payment on an outstanding dollar bond, according to two investors who hold the bond. Country Garden had around $15.2 billion of international bonds and loans outstanding at the end of June, according to its public disclosures.

☆ Evergrande Strikes Deal for $19 Billion Bond Restructuring
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Rebecca Feng | Frances Yoon | Alexander Saeedy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Evergrande Mingdu residential complex in Jiangsu province, China, is one of the many properties owned by Evergrande Group. China Evergrande Group, the giant property developer that defaulted on its U.S. dollar bonds more than a year ago, has struck a crucial deal with a group of bondholders, bringing its prolonged debt negotiations close to the finish line. The Guangzhou-based developer became the highest profile victim of the Chinese government’s deleveraging campaign more than two years ago, which fueled a sharp slowdown in the property sector and ultimately led to dozens of dollar bond defaults. Its negotiation with bondholders—which investors said often appeared close to faltering—covered more than $19 billion of bonds.

The Guangzhou-based developer, the most indebted property company in the world, has agreed on the outlines of a deal that will give it breathing room by extending its debt maturities while allowing it to defer some coupon payments, the people said.
☆ China Property Sector Left in Limbo by Stalled Debt-Restructuring Talks

China Evergrande has twice missed deadlines to come up with a restructuring plan for its foreign debt. Chinese property developers are making little progress in negotiations with foreign bond investors, creating a $30 billion headache for an industry that is trying to return to health. Dozens of the country’s developers defaulted on their dollar bonds last year, amid a sharp slowdown in China’s property sector. That has led to a series of difficult—and protracted—negotiations with overseas fund managers.
