HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Markets in Hong Kong and China are bracing themselves for another dose of Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke’s rate-cut medicine this week in the aftermath of the Bear Stearns bailout. Last week revealed that the Fed’s emergency rate cuts in January — which opened up a 50-basis-points negative spread between money-market rates in the U. The result is China will be facing more policy headaches over its inflation problem, with little room to maneuver on raising interest rates and yet more pressure to let its currency rise. Continuing on this theme, Nomura says that despite China’s strong headline liquidity data, inflation-adjusted money supply is now contracting sharply — bad news, as the money available for investing in financial assets is deteriorating. So has the new carry trade — going short the dollar and buying just about any other currency or commodity — finally reached China?

A survivor is eBucks, originally created by FirstRand as a standalone Internet bank before it became clear that its existing bricks and mortar First National Bank would need a cyberspace branch. Whereas Standard Bank’s Bluebean Internet business has dwindled into a credit card brand, presumably to replace the Barclaycard franchise Standard lost when the UK banking group bought Absa, eBucks has grown in its niche as a loyalty programme. Much of eBucks’ growth has been over the past four years since Lezanne Human was appointed as the FirstRand unit’s chief executive officer. As far as the nascent e-commerce industry has veterans, Human is one, having worked at Liberty Life’s MyLife foray into cyberspace before it was merged with Standard Bank’s bluebean venture. Critics who say loyalty programmes need advanced maths to understand may be disconcerted to hear that Human is an applied mathematician trained at Stellenbosch University.
