Peter wrote a good summary on state of green transformation energies and states: despite the commitment from governments and capital being made available for green investments, the returns across many green transformation stocks have been bad. The power point slides and hopes of the green transformation have certainly met a harsh reality in financial markets. If investors continue to bid down prices of green energy stocks then it will at one point begin to reduce available supply of capital because capital is always seeking the highest risk-adjusted returns.
China Evergrande Group has filed for protection from creditors in a U.S. bankruptcy Since mid-2021, companies accounting for 40% of Chinese home sales have defaulted acc to Reuters.
What do we look at going forward?
Today, UK retail sales and EU Inflation will be key, next week will be a slow week for data but I doubt that will the same for markets as we are expect the BRICS meeting in south Africa, the Jackson Hole summit and lots of nervousness. Stimulus measures from China to boost spending and investment are expected, if the PBOC does not cut rates next week, it would be a surprise. The data comes in the night to Monday.
It will also be interesting if the sell off in Adyen spills over to other shares with high valuations
