Fire Rips Through Massive Chinese Residential Skyscraper

A high-rise apartment building in Dalian, a city in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province, is engulfed in flames. Around 1030 ET, images and video began populating on social media about the building fire.

According to media report, the building is called Kaixuan International Building and has a unique shape with a middle structure that connects two towers (it was not immediately clear if the building belongs to that other conflagration, Evergrande). The tower complex reportedly houses 818 people in 419 condos. Footage from a distance shows the building’s middle section, and the left tower is ablaze.Â

Wall Street Reacts To Powell’s Dovish Nothingburger Speech

Wall Street Reacts To Powell’s Dovish Nothingburger Speech

It was (at least a few weeks ago), supposed to be the most highly anticipated central banking event of the summer, where Jerome Powell was expected to reveal the timeline of the coming taper; instead it ended up being a marketwide dovish catalyst which sent stocks surging to new all time highs, the dollar sliding and yields sharply lower, as the best Powell could do – even as he said that the central bank could begin reducing its monthly bond purchases this year, something everyone knew well by now – was mention the latest FOMC Minutes as a guidepost to tapering, all the while repeating that inflation may be transitory and is not in itself a catalyst to tighten.

The bottom line, and the reason for the market’s dovish eruption: Powell provided no explicit taper signal, as he likely wants to see more jobs reports for accumulated evidence that ‘substantial further progress’ on the labor market is being made, while dismissing soaring inflation as transitory.

Spoos rose during the address, rising above the nice, round 4,500 number for the firs time. Ten-year Treasury yields nudged slightly lower to around 1.33%.
