Goldman Sachs warn property weakness likely a multi-year growth drag on China’s economy

  • Iron ore price dropped during the session

Bloomberg say the drop in iron ore today, its first in nine sessions, is "as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. warned that property weakness would likely be a multi-year growth drag for China’s economy."

GS says:

  • it sees persistent problems in Chinese real-estate
  • no quick fix
  • property recovery likely to be “L-shaped”
  • didn’t expect more housing-specific stimulus and suggested Beijing would likely seek to reduce economic and fiscal reliance on the sector
A piece in the Australian Financial Review highlights a potential next leg down in iron ore.
