China tells some brokerages to conduct compliance checks on bond trading 


Business & Finance

Reuters exclusively reported that China’s securities regulator has ordered some brokerages to inspect their bond trading activities as authorities seek to rein in frenzied buying of Chinese government bonds. The brokerages, all of which are domestic, have been told to conduct compliance checks on all parts of their bond trading operations. 

Market Impact

A wobbly Chinese economy, long hobbled by a protracted property crisis, has sent investors scurrying away from the volatile stock market while banks have also continued to cut deposit rates. That’s sent investors – from large banks and insurers to mutual funds to rural financial institutions – pouring into the bond market.
