Global economy on the brink as 'butterfly effect' of China risks major crisis....

ow growth, high inflation and rising interest rates in the West coupled with fears about a stalling Chinese economy are pushing the global economy to the brink of collapse, an economist has warned.

China is battling a deepening slump with economic growth having slid to 0.8 percent in the three months to June compared with the previous month, down from 2.2 percent over the first quarter and equivalent to a 3.2 percent annual rate, which would be among the Asian giant's weakest in decades.

Beijing is also trying to reassure uneasy homebuyers and investors about China's deeply indebted real estate industry after major developer Country Garden failed to make a payment to bondholders and suspended trading of its bonds.

Meanwhile, western countries are grappling with high inflation, low growth and there are fears of further interest rate hikes.

To revive stock market.

China's securities regulator said on Friday it would cut trading costs, support share buybacks and introduce long-term capital as it unveiled a package of measures aimed at reviving the stock market and boosting investor confidence.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said it was not aware if there would be a cut in stamp duty, a measure which has been hotly discussed recently but is beyond CSRC's power.

Other measures laid out by the CSRC include boosting the development of equity funds, studying plans to extend trading hours, and improving the attractiveness of listed companies.

The slew of measures come after China's top leaders vowed in late July to reinvigorate the stock market, which has been reeling amid the country's flagging economic recovery.

But Friday's measures are seen by some investors as being incremental.

Deflation could soon hit the US as real estate and stock prices are at risk of crashing, economist says

Wobbling commercial property values a correction of lofty stock valuations would drag prices lower.

Inflation accelerated 3.3% on an annual basis in July, well-below the pace of inflation recorded la

Disinflation could soo turn to deflation in the US, partly due to the risk of crashing stocks and real estate prices, according to Wermuth Asset Management.

Already, commercial property values are under pressure, while a potentially overvalued stock market could face a swift correction if conditions sour. A plunge in the price of these assets would go a long way in sparking deflation, the firm argues.

"To speculate about deflation again at this point looks premature at first glance, but not at the second. For several reasons the risk of a falling consumer price level has increased," economist Dieter Wermuth said in a note on Wednesday, pointing to various pressures that could weigh down inflation in the economy.

That's contrary to what other economists have been saying, with many warning that inflation is a lingering problem and will stay sticky. Prices accelerated 3.3% year-per-year in July, slightly higher than the 3% price growth seen in June.

Cut China growth forecast on growing worries over property sector...

our major brokerages cut China's economic growth forecast for the year as worries about contagion from debt repayment troubles at its top private property developer Country Garden (2007.HK) deepened.

China's economic growth outlook has soured further with retail sales, industrial output and investment growing at a slower-than-expected pace.

Weak consumer demand has tipped the world's second largest economy into deflation amid rising pressure on Beijing to deliver more stimulus to support the economy.""
