The government has arranged for state-run margin fund—China Securities Finance—to have access to 3 trillion yuan ($483 billion) in margin power in its own stock market version of Mario Draghi’s 2012 “whatever it takes” to defend the euro pledge to restore confidence in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets. Today it’s working with the Shanghai market up 3.51%

The additional 900 million euros in funding for Greek banks doesn’t really do anything but buy time, but time is exactly what Greece and its EuroZone creditors need as they try to get a bridge loan in place in time for the July 20 deadline for Greece to make a 3.5 billion euro payment to the ECB.
The People’s Bank says stability has returned to the Shanghai stock market–but this could be just another set up for a further market retreat
To me the People’s Bank has misread what the markets were afraid of. The markets weren’t afraid that the Chinese government wouldn’t pull out its usual bag of tricks to prop up stock prices. Instead financial markets were afraid that the usual tricks wouldn’t work. And those fears haven’t been removed by the July 15 report of 7% economic growth
Greek Parliament votes yes on creditor preconditions for resuming negotiation
Tonight—actually the morning of July 16 in Athens–the Greek parliament voted to approve the demands required by the country’s creditors as the price for resuming negotiations on a third bailout program
Strange dynamics of the euro say a Greek debt deal is likely to drive the currency lower against the U.S. dollar–keep looking for a chance to “steal” European stocks

The EuroZone has only two alternatives the International Monetary Fund MF report continues: Either stretch out—reprofile—Greece’s debt over 30 years or provide substantial debt relief above levels considered to date.
Yesterday’s Greek debt agreement to agree is already showing stress
Hours after the early Monday morning agreement on an agreement, the plan for a third Greek bailout program and bridge loan had started to come apart. The obstacles could sink the possibility of any deal—if the parties raising a ruckus aren’t willing to compromise.
The horrible Greek debt deal isn’t even actually a deal–just an agreement to negotiate a new bailout program
The EuroZone has forced Greece down this road before and there is no reason to think that tax increases and cuts to government spending will stimulate growth in the Greek economy this time. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, then this program is insane.
