China is set to open the door to its 10 trillion debt market, but analysts think investors should be wary. Tom mackenzie should joins us. Is it the usual story, a lack of transparency, if you will . What is holding back investors . Reporter lack of transparency is definitely part of the issue. Analysts say holding back investors is lovely likely. They will have cold feet because of a number of big factors. There are capital controls, so they will get money back. They are concerned about Credit Rating agencies. Low trading a very volume traditionally in the chinese bond market here. Less than 10 of what you would see in the u. S. Then, theres the current market environment, as you push ahead, the authorities push ahead with a deleveraging campaign. To look at whats going on in terms of issuance. Chart shows corporate issuance in china from 2015. In the last few months, you have seen generally Corporate Bond issuance is have fallen off. In fact, we have seen a record 29 billion worth of issuance sales scrapped because of the current market environment. That, combined with other longerterm factors giving Foreign Investors cold feet when it comes to the bond connect. Haidi its also about credibility when it comes to chinese regulators, right . And how much Foreign Investors actually trust in them . Reporter absolutely. They are going to have to win back trust, both the government, regulators, and ratings agencies themselves. We have seen moves recently to open up the market to foreign agencies. Maybe that will improve conditions to extra competition. In terms of capital controls, Authorities Say they are not aimed at Foreign Investors, but clearly more transparency is needed. Also in terms of currency, there are counts of cyclical factors that the pboc is putting into play. It seems it is exerting extra control on the fixing, and that makes it harder in terms of valuation, at least according to pimco. You have low trading volumes as well dominating trade of bonds by the banks, and they dont incentivize selling as much as markets. The idea of our skepticism whether or not they are inflating ratings to please clients. The likesh mentioning of Goldman Sachs sees longterm potential. Clearly, theres a lot that needs to be worked out before they can jump on board. Currently, pouring Money Managers own less than 2 of onshore chinese bonds. It is the Third Largest bond market in the world. They are getting closer to opening this bond connect between hong kong and china, but more work needs to be done, clearly. Rishaad Tom Mackenzie in beijing. We count you down to the start of the trading day in hong kong. Minutes away from the open proper. Premarket of half of 1 . Looks like we will be on the way, despite some of the tension. One company we are watching today because of trades in the u. S. And here in china, we are talking imax. The widescreen cinemas here. Looking at whats been going on, the company has had a sagging share price. It is down so far this year, 24 year to date. I made these comments after the closing bell that they will be laying off 14 of their staff. That should may be saved company about 20 million every year. The action is aimed at increasing the companys value. It has been a tough stretch for them at the global box office. Haidi you mentioned the selloff , how it played out across asia and european stocks. Take a look at this chart. 8782 on the terminal shows you how reliant the broader hong kong hang seng index is in terms of how correlated it is to the fortunes of tencent. Tencent is about 16 of market cap at the moment. They retreated the most in yesterday. Months watching tech stocks, not just hong kong, but also taiwan and soul. Next, qatar starts a drastic turn.

The National Australia Bank Business conditions numbers for the month of may coming in at 12, falling from 14 when it comes to business confidence, falling to seven from 13 in april. Very much above the longterm average when it comes to these gauges. Again, the upbeat business sector indicating a disconnect with the household sector. We have seen it play out across retail sales and consumer confidence. Retail is the only sector remaining neutral.
