The liquidity crisis at Chinese property developer Evergrande shook global markets this morning with stocks falling in Asia, Europe and New York.
The S&P 500 fell 2.1 per cent in afternoon trading, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 2.6 per cent. The Vix, which measures expected volatility on the S&P, hit 26.5 — around its highest level since May.
Monday’s sell-off came after shares in Evergrande, the world’s most indebted property developer, closed 10 per cent lower in Hong Kong to hit their weakest level since May 2010.
Concerns about the broader health of China’s real estate sector triggered a wider sell-off, sending the Hang Seng Property index, which tracks a dozen listed developers, down almost 7 per cent to its lowest point since 2016. At 24,099 points, Hong Kong’s broader Hang Seng index closed at its lowest level since last October.
