China Stock Gauge Set for Decade High Driven by Savings Glut

A gauge of Shanghai-listed stocks is set for its highest close in a decade, as cash-rich local investors plow into a market that has surged amid easing trade tensions with the US. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index jumped as much as 0.5% to 3,715.93 on Monday, putting it on course for its highest close since August 2015, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. That cements a roughly 20% turnaround since an April selloff, when US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs roiled global markets. Trump extended a tariff truce with China last week.

Decades of Socialist Rule at Stake as Bolivia Vote Count Starts

(Bloomberg) -- The vote count is underway in Bolivia's presidential and congressional elections that may end years of socialist rule and herald warmer relations with Washington. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds The election took place amid unrest, shortages and the steepest inflation in more than three decades. The economic crisis has undermined support for the ruling MAS party, which has held power almost without interruption since 2006. Two pro-business candidates are battling for the upper hand in a field of eight presidential aspirants. Preliminary results are expected on Sunday evening. Samuel Doria Medina made a fortune in cement, then invested in fast food chains such as Burger King and Subway. Jorge Tuto Quiroga served as president in 2001-2002 when President Hugo Bánzer Suárez stepped down due to ill health. Both candidates say they would cut spending and seek international loans to inject capital into the economy. Both also would seek foreign investment in oil and gas exploration and in lithium production — Bolivia is home to the world's largest deposits of the metal. The highest-profile leftist candidate is Andrónico Rodríguez, a socialist senator who has distanced himself from both the current president, Luis Arce, and former President Evo Morales, whose feud split the ruling party. Arce opted not to run for a second term. Morales called on supporters to spoil their votes. The election is the first since 2005 when neither Morales nor a hand-picked successor were on the ballot. Under Bolivian election rules, a candidate can win in the first round with just 40% of the vote, provided there's a margin of more than ten percentage points over the runner-up. If no one wins in the first round, there'll be a runoff on Oct. 19. The new president will be sworn in on Nov. 8. The economy has been struggling for a decade amid declining natural gas production and dwindling central bank dollar reserves. Bolivia's dollar bonds have been among the top performers in emerging markets this year, on optimism that the election will herald a government able to unlock international loans and implement economic reforms. Under Morales and Arce, Bolivia had close links with Venezuela, Nicaragua, Russia and China but often had sour relations with Washington.
