China's influence over the global financial system is significant. Not only is it the world's second largest economy, but its managed economic expansion played a critical role in positioning the global recovery from the Great Financial Crisis. Recently, China's sway over the system has taken a back seat to targeted media coverage for the Euro-area sovereign troubles, disparate US monetary policy and nagging skepticism in global capital markets. Yet, looking to these more popular catalysts for the market's most capable fundamental themes (risk trends and monetary policy), the untapped potential is materially lower than what China may pose. Whether the manic rally in Chinese shares finally tips global fears of 'bubbles' or the PBoC offers the next leg of policy-supported market appreciation, there is arguably more scope for China than most other major drivers. We look into this country's capabilities for stimulating sentiment and growth trends in today's Strategy Video.
