Shanghai stock market in free fall - down 4.4% and falling.

Dow futures down 270.

It's believed that Beijing will intervene to push the Shanghai
index higher in the afternoon.

There are a number of articles that have said people in China don't think the government would let the market really crash before the Sept 3 celebration as that would reduce the festive mood. This means that Sept 4 is a good day for a crash.

China’s central bank added to measures designed to shore up the yuan, making it more costly for traders of forwards contracts to bet on swings in the currency.

The People’s Bank of China will impose a reserve requirement on financial institutions trading in foreign-exchange forwards for clients, according to six people familiar with the matter. The change, which takes effect on Oct. 15, will mandate a deposit of 20 percent of sales to be held at zero interest for a year, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak on the issue.

At 2 p.m. in China, the Stock Market Rescue Suddenly Switches On

Government funds seen buying large-cap shares after declines
World War II victory parade adds pressure to support equities

Afternoons in the Chinese stock market have turned into a waiting game for the state-backed funds to arrive.

Over each of the past four days, China’s SSE 50 Index of large-capitalization companies has rebounded by an average 6.4 percent in late trading from session lows. The gauge surged 15 percent over the four-day period, its biggest rally since 2008 and twice the 8.1 percent gain by the Shanghai Composite Index. The SSE 50 climbed 0.9 percent at the close on Tuesday, erasing an earlier loss of 4.8 percent.

The rallies are driven by government-backed funds buying shares to stabilize the market before a World War II victory parade on Thursday, according to IG Asia Pte. China’s 90 million individual investors have been pulling back from the market, with margin debt in Shanghai falling by $10 billion over the past four days to the lowest level since Dec. 25.

Once an avalanche or earthquake has started, there is nothing you can do to stop it. They are positive feedback loops releasing huge amounts of energy in a very short period and humans just don't have the power to halt such a short huge burst of energy. I think stock market crashes are also positive feedback loops. China is down about 40% despite their best efforts to stop the crash. I suspect they have further to go.

Much of the growth in the rest of the world since 2009 has been due to bubbles in China. If those bubbles are bursting, it can well trigger crashes outside China. I think that 1000 point drop in the Dow is the kind of thing that only happens in a bear market. I think the US stock market crash has been triggered and can not be stopped at this point.

I think Friday is also a holiday in China, so we may have to wait till Monday to see what it does next.

I agree with John that at some point there will be a real panic day. The longer we go with a few percent drop per week the lower the bottom of the panic day must be.

Air rivers came up again on the land mass moisture clusters. Point is this, deforrest and you will get no rain at all some are
finding out since the climatic zone may, or may not be permanent for numerous generations. At this point the cluster studys
pointed to permanant damages since those "study haven" clusters zone collapsed over time. They dried out since retention
of moisture was eliminated as in relative humidity. Lingering death for countless species called gradualism. Another ism ignored.

In addition the Pacific Decadal Oscillation index is the leading empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of monthly sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) over the North Pacific (poleward of 20° N) after the global mean SST has been removed, the PDO index is the standardized principal component time series. A PDO signal has been reconstructed to 1661 through tree-ring chronologies in the Baja California area

Cycles addition damages. As H pointed out. Those who can protect the zone may just survive in it only. As before no can see since it is supposed the actual nature of it is indications cannot not change the attitude or the amplitude of what can be ignored. Politics only washes up on shore when allowed.

Tauroctony dilectic pagans, meet the second new year called Elul for some.
Important announcement dates are impossible to miss for some, and invisible to others.
