Global Stock Markets Falls With the Repercussions Of Evergrande ‘collapse’

The global equity market and the prices of Bitcoin plummeted after China’s Evergrande Group’s Collapse, a Chinese real estate giant. The world’s most indebted property development firm, Evergranade, fears bankruptcy, resulting in 1.6 million unfinished homes and angry buyers protecting outside the company’s office.

The global sentiments have been rattled by the real estate firm, which accounts for some $300 billion in liabilities, including debt obligations. Evergrande also owes billions to its employees who are persuaded to invest their savings to its wealth management to keep the company afloat and its shares.

Chinese real estate company Evergrande is also under obligations to its suppliers such as decorators, interior designers, and electricians, who received low-value assets like parking spots to lay down their workforce.

Evergrande Collapse Highlights

  • Equity fell, and the bitcoin price collapsed on fears of economic turbulence caused by the collapse.
  • The company owes a sum of around $300 billion to its employees and suppliers.
  • Analyses are suggesting ways to prevent Evegrande from going under.
  • The fall in the equity market is yet another point for Bitcoin to prove that it’s a safe investment.

The investors of three continents pour dump stocks in the global equity market on Monday, fearing that the world’s two largest economies and powers — China and the United States — may pose a threat to the global economic recovery in the aftermath of the Evergrande Collapse. 

Analysts said Evergrande’s predicament was severe enough to survive without coordination from the Chinese Government. The question is what degree risks they have within the Chinese equities and cascading into the global equity market, which fell by 500 points.

The Dow Jones Industrial shades 600 points on Wall Street, whereas the Nasdaq Composites fell over 2%. A massive sell-off in the stock market continued on Tuesday amid rising fear of China’s crackdown on the real-estate sector and the Evergrande Group.

An abrupt decline in China’s evolving housing market this year results in low sales, disturbing China’s Evergrande to pay its suppliers. Goldman Sachs says Evergrande’s assets hold 2% of China’s GDP, resulting in heavy pressure on the country’s Real Estate industry.

“The collapse of Evergrande will exacerbate China’s ongoing economic slowdown, which in result will trigger Global growth and inflation,” says Phoenix Kalen.
