The trading year started with a bang in China.
On Monday, China’s blue-chip stock market — the CSI 300 — fell 7% in the worst trading day in four months.
The sell-off saw about $590 billion wiped from Chinese shares, according to Bloomberg. The fall was so steep that it triggered a break clause that suspended trade for the day.
The government has managed to slow the drop to a crawl Tuesday by pumping money into the stock market.
But according to analysts from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, things could get a lot worse. They see the Chinese stock market falling by 27% in 2016, and it’s all because of debt.
