State-owned banks are taking precautions in reviewing loan cases carefully, emphasizing risk management by evaluating borrowers' debt ratios. Despite the concerns, the probability of a shadow banking crisis emerging from New Qing'an is considered low, as Taiwan's public retains a strong emphasis on credit and financial responsibility.

Against the backdrop of long-term interest rates continuing to decline, on July 5, 2024, it was reported that the People's Bank of China had signed bond borrowing agreements with several major financial institutions in mainland China, with a borrowing capacity amounting to billions of renminbi. This news led to a collective decline in mainland government bond futures on the morning of the 5th, with the main contract for the 30-year term dropping 0.31%, 10-year term dropping 0.14%, 5-year term dropping 0.07%, and 2-year term dropping 0.02% by the end of the day. Market reports indicated that the People's Bank of China had preliminarily selected Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Postal Savings Bank for bond borrowing, aiming to suppress the overheated bond market by borrowing and then selling bonds back to the market. The People's Bank of China confirmed on the 5th that the financial institutions under agreement could lend billions of yuan worth of medium- to long-term government bonds, using an open-ended, credit-based borrowing approach dependent on market conditions, continuing to borrow and sell government bonds. Due to factors such as poor stock market performance, economic pressure, ample liquidity in the financial system, and the issuance of extra-long-term special government bonds to boost fiscal stimulus, China's government bond yields have significantly decreased. Analysts suggest that the People's Bank of China selling government bonds could absorb interbank liquidity, potentially necessitating offset measures like reducing reserve requirements. In the medium term, considering the absence of substantial economic fundamentals and large-scale stimulus measures in China, the People's Bank of China might resort to interest rate cuts.

The European Union has implemented temporary tariffs on Chinese electric cars, with rates reaching as high as 37.6%, starting from July 5, 2024 for a maximum period of 4 months. This move caused a drop in electric car stocks on the Hong Kong stock market, with Geely, Xiaopeng, Lixiang, and NIO all showing declines due to the new tariff regulations, except for BYD which saw a 0.2% increase. The EU initiated this action in response to concerns about unfair competition arising from potential Chinese government subsidies. China has expressed strong opposition to the tariffs, advocating for dialogue and negotiation to resolve trade issues, while also initiating an anti-dumping investigation into European brandy. This escalation in China-EU trade disputes has led to fluctuations in Chinese electric car stocks, with MG and NIO considering raising their car prices in Europe to offset increased tariff costs.

Trade-Van (3665) experienced a slight decline in overall shipments in June compared to the previous month due to a slowdown in the mass consumer market but is showing signs of revenue recovery as inventory adjustments near completion. Analysts anticipate Trade-Van's third-quarter performance to surpass the second quarter with the second half of the year likely to outperform the first half, aiming for a single-digit revenue growth for the year. The company's successful entry into NVIDIA's GB200 AI server supply chain is expected to boost its operations in the second half of the year, with some products being exclusive suppliers. The growth momentum is particularly driven by high-performance computing (HPC) demands, projected to contribute over 20% of revenue by year-end, becoming a key growth driver for Trade-Van this year.
