"Since you were able to find , it ans our plan has already started." Damon looked down, playing with a Rubik’s cube.
His peripheral vision glanced at the ti, with the US stock market about to open, and the funds already injected, the short selling was about to begin.
"Still a choice to be made."
Gret advised, "If the US stocks crash, Morgan’s trillions in assets will also be affected."
"Everyone will be affected, the key is who can tily recover the losses and regain control of the market to beco the leader."
Damon chuckled softly, his fingers moved like snakes, aligning the final face of the Rubik’s cube, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"You’ll regret it," Gret said angrily in a cold voice, slamming the door as he left, with no ti to delay here.
The door closed heavily, stirring up a breeze like the aftershock of a bomb, dispersing the smile from Damon’s face.
Clutching the Rubik’s cube, his fingertips turned white, his expression gradually darkening: "Lu Liang, you really have so skill."
Initially, Lu Liang must have chosen to lock in the positions, and the timing he chose to unlock them was so clever.
Morgan was already on board, leaving only one choice, to cooperate with Tianxing and jointly steer this big ship.
On the other side, at the Vanguard Pioneer Building, seeing Gret return, Wenster quickly asked, "How did it go?"
Months ago, HSBC left the Hong Kong stock market, observed for a period, and finally chose US stocks as their haven.
In recent days, they’ve poured $80 billion into US stocks, barely gaining recognition as a mber of Wall Street institutions.
Although they lost tens of billions on the books, they see it as a pledge for joining, as long as the US stocks continue to rise, these losses can basically be ignored.
However, Wenster didn’t expect that just as HSBC completed building positions, the US stock index would be shorted by a mysterious institution.
This gave him a bad feeling, because who dares to strike the US stocks, yet Vanguard isn’t even sure of the opponent’s identity.
"Two main institutions initiated the short," Gret suddenly said.
Wenster asked, "Who?"
"Morgan and Tianxing."
Gret looked at him, a flicker of disdain in his eyes.
Although he knew Lu Liang was definitely not targeting HSBC, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this person had so bad luck attribute.
Just when he took position in Xiangjiang, HSBC fled from the Hong Kong stocks, and just after building positions in the US stocks, they were shorted.
Wenster was stunned, feeling cold hands and feet, disaster approaching: "Why would Morgan choose to work with Tianxing? Why is Vanguard just finding out now? Isn’t Vanguard one of Morgan’s shareholders?"
"I don’t need to explain this to you, you at HSBC figure it out yourself."
Gret finished with a cold face, striding toward the office, ignoring Wenster.
Vanguard is indeed a shareholder of Morgan, but Morgan is also a shareholder of Vanguard, their relationship is like dieval aristocratic marriages, complex yet independent from each other.
New York Ti, 9:25 AM, the US stock market was about to open.
Lu Liang updated an article on Twitter: "The market system established in the last century is no longer suited to the current economic environnt. The Hong Kong stock market is changing, actively adapting to this new era, while the US stock market still clings to old ways, stagnant..."
The more than 800-word article was filled with intent to short the US stocks.
It also announced to the world that he had returned to the US stocks, but this ti as a speculator.
"Lu Liang wants to short the US stocks?"
Once the article was published, it was translated into multiple languages and spread throughout the financial sectors of various countries.
Institutions from various countries were poised, observing yet urgently preparing funds, or setting up plans to sell off their holdings.
The massive fluctuations in the offshore RMB Foreign Exchange Market let everyone know that Lu Liang hadn’t lost back then, it was rely a strategic withdrawal, he remains the undefeated giant in the international market.
If Lu Liang decides to short the US stocks and takes action, they would undoubtedly follow suit, joining this speculator’s carnival feast.
At the sa ti, in a luxurious estate on the outskirts of New York.
By the artificial lake, an elder saw the news, sighed softly: "You have returned, after all."
His hair was white, skin sagging, face full of age spots, no one would think this was the founder of Blackstone Group, who once stood at the pinnacle of the world financial center.
9:30 AM New York Ti, the US stock market opened.
A large flow of funds surged in, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ indices surged violently.
This move was like a slap to Lu Liang’s rhetoric, his statent had no tangible impact on the US stock market.
"Spending real money to save the market?"
Witnessing this scene, Lu Liang was amazed, he absolutely didn’t believe the Federal Reserve would spend to save the market.
East Country’s national team might spend, but not the Federal Reserve, because that’s the fundantal difference between socialism and capitalism.
"I’ll investigate," Wen Chao heard this, imdiately went to investigate, returning later with a capital movent detection report.
The US stock market, beset both internally and externally, was bound to fall. The institutions weren’t trying to save the market, just worried that no one would take the fall this ti.
"They ran away, who’s going to take the blow for us?"
Lu Liang squinted, focusing on the United Health stock, muttering to himself: "What are you waiting for?"
This stock seed to hear Lu Liang’s words, the bullish K-line suddenly plumted.
An influx of stocks erged, with no capital to support them, the stock price dropped from $320 to $285.
United Health is the insurance giant in North Arica, the leader in its sector, and also a cornerstone of the US stock market.
As United Health’s share price faltered, prices of other pharmaceutical giants like Johnson and Pfizer also took a nosedive.
A massive outflow of funds ensued, the pharmaceutical sector instantly fell more than -2.12%, triggering quantitative trading, thus S&P index also started to decline.
The S&P 500 fell more than -3.05%, thereby affecting the Dow Jones Index and NASDAQ Index.
For a mont, global investors received notification pop-ups from broker apps, with ssages constantly updating.
’US stocks’ three major indices, totaling 6829 listed companies, over 6500 stocks fell, the board entirely red!’
’Danger! Danger! Danger! Nurous institutions’ quantitative models have been triggered, a massive listing of stocks.’
’9:40 AM, S&P 500 fell more than -4.93%.’
’9:43 AM, S&P 500 fell more than -6.34%.’
’9:46 AM, S&P 500 fell more than -7.021%, triggering the first level circuit breaker chanism, pausing trading for 15 minutes.’
At this mont, investors from various countries focused on the US stock movents were stunned.
Because from when United Health’s stock price breached, to triggering the first level circuit breaker, it only took nine minutes and thirty-five seconds.
Soone dazed, asked: "Is this Lu Liang’s market influence? One article triggered a circuit breaker in a $60 trillion market, evaporating $4.2 trillion in value."
"I admit Lu Liang has so influence, but he absolutely doesn’t have influence at this scale. He just made the right statents at the right ti, like how a match can ignite dynamite, but would you say a match’s power is greater than dynamite?"
"I understand that logic, but isn’t this too exaggerated? The US stocks triggered a circuit breaker so easily."
"Is admitting soone’s excellence that difficult?"
"This isn’t about excellence, but about plausibility."
In the fifteen minutes of paused trading, international netizens debated fiercely, though they had differing views, they all agreed on one point, Lu Liang had beco the number one in financial markets, his individual influence far surpassing Soros and Buffett.
From now on, Lu Liang is just Lu Liang, he’s no longer the second anyone, he’s just Lu Liang.
Although US stocks trading halted, foreign exchange, futures, and even Bitcoin markets continued to trade normally.
Lu Liang took a glance at the rising foreign exchange market, imdiately instructed: "Start closing positions."
Due to the influence of US stocks, the US Dollar began to plunge, currencies from various countries surged, including the Renminbi.
At the instant the US stocks triggered the circuit breaker, the offshore Renminbi even approached breaking through 6.8000, returning to the 6.7000 range.
A saying isn’t wrong, a country’s currency values stability, a sudden fall or rise does not et the Foreign Exchange Administration’s expectations.
