Growth is stagnating, stocks have plummeted, and youth unemployment has spiked. Six numbers sum up the economic carnage, according to Bank of America. Beijing has responded by cutting interest rates – and also stopped publishing unflattering youth unemployment figures in a desperate attempt to pretend everything's OK. The ongoing liquidity crises for real-estate behemoth Country Garden and shadow bank Zhongrong are one potential source of "event risk," he added. Here's six other data points Hartnett picked out that show just how badly the world's second-largest economy is doing right now:

It's just too early to tell," said George Glassman, president of Glassman Automotive Group, which sells five automotive brands outside Detroit. Since then, VinFast shares have retreated, and were down 17.2% at $24.92 at midday on Thursday. The new hybrid sales plan is just another challenge and the luxury carmaker is already talking to dealers. U.S. dealers said there are too many unanswered questions, including how VinFast will distribute parts needed to make repairs. Several dealers said VinFast may need to offer sweetened profit margins to dealers to account for the added risk.

It might be time to pile into US Treasurys, according to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Bond yields have jumped in recent weeks, while the equity-market rally may be losing steam. "Investors should consider hedges for their high-priced stocks," CIO Lisa Shalett said. Lisa Shalett said in a note to clients Monday that spiking yields had made bonds much more attractive in recent weeks, signaling that fixed-income assets could be a suitable hedge if this year's breathless stock-market rally starts to lose steam. When Treasury yields rise, they become more attractive to investors relative to stocks because they offer similar returns at a lower risk level.

Bud Light is winning over Americans again. Conservatives turned on the brand after it started sponsoring the transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney. But a recent poll showed “substantive signs of progress” for the beer, according to Deutsche Bank. The German bank said Wednesday that the beer brand had shown "substantive signs of progress" in August as it tries to regain customers after its collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney sparked a conservative backlash. Back in April, transgender influencer Mulvaney posted a video promoting Bud Light as part of a partnership with the brand.

Russia added $600 billion of total wealth last year, a report by UBS indicated. The number of millionaires and ultra-high-net-worth individuals also rose, despite the war in Ukraine raging on. Meanwhile, the US and Europe shed trillions of dollars worth of wealth, the Swiss bank reported. Russia added $600 billion of total wealth, the Swiss bank found in its annual Global Wealth Report, published Tuesday. Rising oil prices could be one factor behind the wealth increase, with exports of the commodity a key economic engine for Russia.

China is hiding unflattering data, with its economy struggling. The National Bureau of Statistics didn't report youth unemployment numbers this month. The National Bureau of Statistics said Tuesday it would stop releasing youth unemployment numbers, after joblessness among 16-to-24 year olds spiked to 21% in June. China's economy could be a "ticking time bomb", the President told a fundraiser event in Utah, adding that "when bad folks have problems, they do bad things." Those measures could help jumpstart China's struggling economy – but trying to turn off the bad news tap will not.

The Bank of Russia raised interest rates by 350 basis points to 12% at an emergency meeting Tuesday. It's trying to prop up the ruble, which plummeted to a 16-month low this week. The currency strengthened in the immediate aftermath of the central bank’s latest move. It brought in the rate hike after the ruble fell to a 16-month low of nearly 102 to the dollar Monday, leading to Moscow publicly rebuking the central bank. The Bank of Russia responded to Oreshkin's criticisms by calling an emergency meeting, where it voted to raise interest rates for the second month in a row.

Elon Musk has loaded up on Nvidia GPUs for X, xAI, and Tesla. Meanwhile, Chinese tech titans are reportedly scrambling to buy $5 billion worth of the chips. But there are signs emerging that there may not be enough of Nvidia's chips to go around, with multiple top executives warning that demand is massively outpacing supply. Soaring demandThe massive increase in interest in artificial intelligence has been a key factor driving demand for Nvidia's semiconductors. Perhaps the strongest sign that demand for Nvidia's chips is soaring came in May, when it released stellar second-quarter revenue forecasts that smashed Wall Street's expectations by 50%.

SINGAPORE, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Singapore will hold a presidential election on Sept. 1 if more than one candidate is nominated to run for the largely ceremonial post, the government said on Friday. This year's presidential election in the diverse city-state will be open to all ethnic groups, unlike the last time, in 2017, when the post was controversially reserved for those of Malay ethnicity. The 2017 election was uncontested when applications from four candidates were rejected, sparking a rare protest by several hundred people in a city park who raised a banner with the message "ROBBED OF AN ELECTION #NotMyPresident". They will have to get certificates of eligibility from the Presidential Elections Committee to stand. Singapore has about 3.5 million citizens, about three-quarters of them ethnic Chinese, 12.5% ethnic Malay and 9% ethnic Indian, with the rest classified as Eurasians.

Shop and factory prices both fell in China last month, according to data released Wednesday. That means the country is suffering deflation for the first time in over two years. It's the latest in a long list of concerns for Beijing as China's post-COVID rebound fizzles out. That's another economic worry for Beijing, which is also contending with faltering growth, skyrocketing youth unemployment, and massive amounts of debt. The data released Wednesday is likely to lead to more calls for fiscal stimulus, according to analysts.

But falling prices there could end up being good news for the rest of the world. However, falling prices there aren't necessarily bad news for everyone else. In China, prices are falling rather than risingData from the National Bureau of Statistics published Wednesday showed China's factory-gate prices, as measured by the producer price index, plunging 4.4% year-on-year in July for a tenth straight month of declines. Falling prices in the world's second-biggest economy could "give central bankers in the US, UK and Europe pause for thought when they weigh up their next steps," according to AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould. So deflation in China might end up being bad news for Beijing – but a blessing in disguise for the rest of the world.

Americans don't feel good about the prospect of buying a house right now. 82% think it's a "bad time to buy" a new home, according to a Fannie Mae survey. Affordability has plunged due to soaring mortgage rates and low inventory levels. And just 64% of the people surveyed by Fannie Mae believe it's a good time to sell a house. "Unsurprisingly, consumers continue to attribute the challenging conditions to high home prices and unfavorable mortgage rates," he added.

The central bank will need to see more "signs that labor market conditions are loosening," governor Michelle Bowman said Saturday. But governor Michelle Bowman pushed back on Saturday, saying that additional hikes would probably be needed to bring inflation in line with the central bank's 2% target. Bowman flagged the labor market the same week a fresh batch of jobs data signaled the Fed might have more work to do to stop another flare-up in prices. "The recent jobs data is more or less in agreement with anecdotal evidence that a softening in the labor market is underway," UBS Global Wealth Management CIO Mark Haefele said in a note to clients Monday. "But elements of resilience in the jobs market mean that investors cannot yet take an end to rate hikes for granted," he added.

The Panama Canal's income could fall by $200 million due to a lack of rainfall, its administrator said Thursday. It's capped the number of ships that can pass through due to this summer's drought. The Panama Canal is suffering from an intense drought which is forcing officials to cap the number of ships that can pass through the vital waterway. The 51-mile canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which has historically made it a vital trade route. It had expected to bring in fees of around $4.9 billion in 2024 before the drought, according to Vasquez.

The losses could wipe nearly $60 billion off Apple's market capitalization. Sales of iPhone, which account for nearly half of Apple revenues, slipped more than 2%, while iPad sales were down by a fifth. "Apple beat expectations overall, but a 2% fall in iPhone sales has spooked investors and caused a sharp sell-off," said Hargreaves Lansdown lead equity analyst Sophie Lund-Yates.

Fitch factored the January 6 riot into its decision to slash the US's credit rating, per Reuters. The ratings agency announced a surprise downgrade Tuesday, rattling stocks. Fitch cut the US's credit rating from top-tier AAA to AA+ late Tuesday, citing "a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters". Biden administration officials immediately hit back at Fitch's downgrade, which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called "arbitrary and based on outdated data". Fitch is the second of the "Big Three" ratings agencies to cut the US's credit score.
