China Central Bank Tightens Loan, Deposit Measurement As Shadow Banking Surges – Yahoo Finance
Regulators have signalled concern that a massive stock market rally set off in November is at risk of over-heating, given large quantities of cheap leverage provided through brokerage margin accounts. The transcript quoted comments by Sheng Songcheng, the head of the PBOC’s statistics department, during a question-and-answer session to which foreign media were not invited. “The changes in calculating deposit and loan items are aimed at making (Chinese standards) gradually be in line with usual international practices,” Sheng was quoted as saying. “As these changes are aimed at more accurately reflecting the reality of social deposits loans, as well as liquidity conditions, people should not read too much into them on the policy front.” Despite the crackdown, off-balance sheet lending led by entrusted loans and trust loans shot up in December, official data showed on Thursday, even as traditional yuan loans fell far short of expectations. “Shadow banking is back with a vengeance, and I’m not sure why the year ended this way but it’s clear that there is a lot of money creation outside of the banking system,” Dariusz Kowalczyk, an economist at Credit Agricole CIB.

A Most Violent Year Is A Most Extraordinary Film – Yahoo News
The yellows and browns of Bradford Youngs elegant cinematography also conjure the era, while the score, by Alex Ebert, is subtle yet unsettling. The true star of A Most Violent Year is writer-director J.C. Chandor. This is Chandors third motion picture, and it is no exaggeration to say that his early career arc looks as promising as that of any other American filmmaker. That he continues to operate largely beneath the public radar is nothing short of baffling. His first film, Margin Call, offered by far the sharpest cinematic take on the financial crash; his second, All Is Lost, which found Robert Redford alone and (literally) adrift, was a meticulous exercise in narrative concision.
