Surprisingly, the DI needed very little correction to the JPY value in recent years. Having that said, if there is a sharp rise in the DI later, it suggests that policies transferred into the real economy, which might back the BoJ to act further.

Chinese reforms: credit growth threatened by new rules for housing and wealth management product (WMP) markets

Regardless of recent measures implemented on the housing market and banks' WMPs to curb growth, inflation or regulate shadow banking, the credit growth might start fading gradually after aggregate financing activities boomed in late 2012.

The Shanghai Composite Index ended the latest leg in its rally, which I believe was lead by property purchase restrictions and new regulations tightening shadow banking activities.

Regulators aim at short-term and high-yield WMPs at this stage, requesting banks to link each WMP to specific assets, rather than an undifferentiated pool in the past, as well as more inflation for issuers to declare. Besides that, all new issued WMPs of a single bank must be below 35% of its total outstanding WMPs, and it cannot exceed 4% of the banks' total assets.

The property market, a large contributor to Chinese growth, is set to have a more complicated environment in the short term, due to recent massive deals after the "guo wu" ruling announced. Beijing just banned single-person households from buying more than one residence, and Shanghai prohibited banks from giving housing loans for third-home purchasers.
