On this week's show, we discuss the contagion that is spreading from Evergrande and the solvency crisis that seems to be immediately looming from it. The financial situation of the company has rapidly deteriorated in the past week, with rumors of employees being held hostage on WeChat and the company being unable to make an interest payment due around the time of this episode's upload unless new news comes out. Fallout is now happening far beyond just Evergrande, with the property development sector in China crumbling, Asian markets taking heavy losses, commodities and companies related to construction facing sharp falls, and international concern beginning to rise. Nobody knows what the end outcome will be, but this is a situation that needs to be watched.

Any outcome is uncertain and unknowable at this time, but if the market doesn't like one thing, it's uncertainty.
