Closing summary: China sends world market into a spin (click here)
China has been a major contributor to economic growth and low global inflation for more than two decades.But tonight, investors around the globe are catching their breath after one of the worst day’s trading in many years. They’re now pondering whether today marks the start of a new and alarming phase of the crisis which began some eight years ago.
Mohamed El-Erian, former CEO of Pimco, believes today’s rout has sunk any prospect of US interest rates being raised next month. But he doesn’t believe we’re heading into a major crisis.
El-Erian told Bloomberg TV tonight:
I believe the USA's people have been smarter than other countries by creating a buffer to Wall Street turmoil with emphasis on local economies and quality of life.
The biggest loser today is an Indian rice merchandiser. It's value lost 60 percent.

Steady as we go and god help the politician that votes for trade agreements with provisions to destroy our local economies.
