1. Several quantitative firms indicate limited availability of securities for borrowing
Recently, the controversy over the institutional arbitrage loophole in the T+0 short selling strategy has continued to ferment in the market. Many investors believe that there are problems with fairness and system consistency in the short selling business, directly targeting the quantitative funds that employ the T+0 short selling strategy. Several quantitative institutions have stated that there should be no major issues with the system; the scale of securities available for quantitative use in the short selling market is extremely limited, having minimal impact on market trends.
2. Haidian District in Beijing cancels the guiding reference price for secondary housing transactions
There's news that the guiding reference prices for secondary housing transactions in 29 communities in Haidian District, Beijing, have been canceled. Beijing's school district housing market was hot from the fourth quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2021, with secondary housing prices in hot school districts in Haidian and Xicheng districts seeing significant increases, driving up the overall secondary housing prices in Beijing at that time. The introduction of the guiding reference price for secondary housing transactions in Haidian District was intended to curb the heat in the school district housing market.

3. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yield reaches new high since 2007
Compared to the modest performance of the three-year U.S. Treasury auction earlier this week, the ten-year Treasury auction was robust. However, the record-high yield indicates that the rising interest rate trend is unstoppable. The U.S. Department of Treasury announced the completion of a $35 billion auction of ten-year U.S. Treasury notes, with a winning yield of 4.289%, the highest since November 2007, 29 basis points higher than the previous auction's yield of just below 4.00% in August.
