  • China’s CSI 300 Index Falls 10% From Recent Peak as Rout Goes On

    (Bloomberg) -- China’s CSI 300 Index has fallen more than 10% from its Feb. 10 peak, poised to enter a technical correction as traders rush to offload growth stocks in the $11 trillion market.On Friday, China’s main stock gauge slid as much as 2% in opening trade, extending losses from the peak reached right before the Lunar New Year holiday. It pared the decline to 1.6% as of 9:54 a.m. in Shanghai. The recent rout has been driven by consumer staples, with the subgauge down about 20% in the same time frame.The rout has come amid growing concern over liquidity tightening and possible asset bubbles, with markets seeking fresh cues from the National People’s Congress that began today. The nation’s top banking regulator jolted markets on Tuesday with a warning about the need to reduce leverage amid the rising risk of bubbles globally and in the local property sector.“The market’s primary focus is not the long-term policies or fundamentals, liquidity and U.S. yields are what it’s obsessing over right now,” said Liu Xiaodong, a fund manager at Shanghai Power Asset Management Co. “So a 10% drop in the CSI 300 index isn’t excessive.”The selloff has rapidly deflated a rally that briefly sent the benchmark CSI 300 Index past its 2007 record, with sure-win bets turning sour. China’s biggest stock Kweichow Moutai Co. has lost more than 20% from its peak.China set a conservative economic growth target of above 6% for the year, well below what economists forecast, and outlined ongoing fiscal support with prudent monetary policy. The government will narrow the budget deficit to 3.2% of gross domestic product this year from 3.6% in 2020, Premier Li Keqiang said Friday at the opening of the NPC.(Updates prices, adds a quote in the fourth paragraph and GDP growth target in the last.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Ro Khanna accuses Biden of quitting on Middle East, says Obama "strove for greatness"

    An outspoken progressive Democrat is wary of President Biden’s approach to the Middle East, arguing it’s like “conceding defeat of the aspiration” to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Why it matters: A number of members of Biden’s own party dislike his Middle East strategy, as his administration signals the region is no longer the priority it was for President Obama and his predecessors.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.“Obama strove for greatness,” California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna told Axios. “He, at least, tried."Khanna, 44, backed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president and has worked with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to enact a non-interventionist foreign policy.Khanna has criticized Biden for not imposing sanctions on Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, after intelligence showed he was responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.In a five-point plan shared exclusively with Axios, he suggests the administration withdraw all remaining U.S. forces in Iraq. He favors striking a multilateral agreement with regional partners to prevent ISIS from retaking territory. He's also joined Democrats in criticizing the administration for a recent airstrike against facilities in Syria linked to Iran-backed militia groups.Khanna proposes announcing additional resources for security and stability, including aid and development.And Khanna’s plan effectively asks other regional players to increase their presence in the region as the United States withdraws.But, but, but: Other major players in the region often have very different views about how to maintain stability.When the U.S. pulled back from Syria under Donald Trump, it was Russia and Turkey — two countries with whom the U.S. has difficult relations — that filled the void.Flashback: Obama withdrew U.S. military forces from Iraq by 2011, after which sectarian tensions and a weak Iraqi state created a ripe environment for the formation of ISIS.This necessitated another American-led intervention in the region in 2014 — a move Khanna supported.Biden told congressional leaders in a letter Saturday his Syria strike last week was consistent with the U.S. right of self-defense.The White House declined to comment on Khanna's suggestions.The Biden administration has made clear in recent moves it intends to refocus on what it sees as more pressing issues.During his first foreign policy address, Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the United States’ relationship with China the "biggest geopolitical test of the 21st century."While acknowledging other nations present their own challenges, Blinken noted China's ability to destabilize the international system.Biden didn’t call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until almost a month into his term.The bottom line: As Axios’ Barak Ravid reported from Tel Aviv, U.S. presidents have for decades arrived in office hoping to reach a historic peace deal.Biden doesn't see that as achievable under the current circumstances.More from Axios: Sign up to get the latest market trends with Axios Markets.

  • Velodyne: The Long-Term Opportunity Remains Intact, Says Analyst

    The past three weeks have not been kind to Velodyne Lidar (VLDR). Shares of the lidar maker have retreated nearly 40%, with the stock firmly in the red year-to-date. The company’s latest quarterly results - released last week - were a mixed bag, although investors knew what was in store following a Q4 preannouncement in early January. While Velodyne managed a beat on the top-line with revenue of $17.8 million coming in ahead of the forecasts by $1.69 million, the figure was still 6.3% below total sales from the same period last year. Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.12 missed the estimates by a cent. Lower pricing helped VLDR ship a record 4,237 sensor units in 4Q and the company currently has 26 multi-year agreements - one more than it had at the end of 2020. Velodyne’s quarter was marred by COVID-19 related disruptions to its manufacturing capabilities, which the company has cited as the reason behind the lack of forward guidance. Velodyne also recently suffered two design losses; one from an AV project which is thought to have forged ahead with its own in-house solution and another from an ADAS customer, thought to have chosen an inferior production-ready sensor. That said, the headwinds are not enough to dissuade Benchmark analyst Ruben Roy from recommending Velodyne as a “longer-term opportunity.” While Roy expects near-term share price upside to be limited due to “ongoing COVID related disruptions as well as various customer specific dynamics,” looking ahead, the analyst sees plenty to be buoyed about. “We think that the rapidly growing and broadly diversified list of projects in VLDR’s funnel reflects an accelerating market opportunity,” said the 5-star analyst. “While the near-term lack of visibility into the shape of revenue growth this year is frustrating, we believe that the Company’s strong project pipeline, which has grown to 194 projects from 183 at the end of December and 131 projects a year ago, illustrate a strong and growing market opportunity.” However, the cloudy outlook results in a lowered price target; the figure drops from $32 to $25. However, following the recent weakness, the figure represents possible upside of a strong 85%. Roy’s rating stays a Buy. (To watch Roy’s track record, click here) Roy is by no means alone in predicting a bright future for the lidar maker. In fact, all current ratings – 7, in total - recommend the stock as a Buy. VLDR's Strong Buy consensus rating is backed by a $27 price target, implying 84% of share appreciation in the year ahead.
