Clouds and even a few showers will be around across interior loca- tions while the Interstate 95 corridor remains dry. Farther south, a few thunderstorms will rumble along the shores of the Southeast. Storms will also be found across the Four Corners where some of them could be quite heavy. An area from the Dakotas to the Tennessee Valley will be featured under high pressure, which will keep most clouds and precipitation away.

After the Chinese mar- ket benchmark soared to a peak on June 12 and then re- versed course and plunged 30 percent, Beijing reached back to the era of central planning and intervened directly. Big shareholders were barred from selling and state-owned broker- ages promised to buy. State banks lent billions of dol- lars to a government finance company to support prices. That prompted criticism that Beijing was disrupting the market and might be delaying changes in finan- cial policy needed to sup- port China's slowing econ- omy. Now, with no formal an- nouncement, there has been no large-scale buying by the China Securities Finance Corp. despite four days of precipitous declines that wiped 22 percent off the Shanghai Composite Index. "The market self-ad- justment is a good thing," said JP Morgan economist Haibin Zhu. "The positive sign is the 'national team' no longer intervenes and keeps buying, which was causing market distortion." So what other options do Chinese authorities have to calm markets? After weeks of turmoil, the best tactic might be to do nothing, according to fi- nancial analysts. Inaction "would likely be viewed favorably at this stage," said Linda Yueh, an economist at the London Business School. "Previous interventions have height- ened rather than subdued the volatility." The previously little known CSFC, the pillar of the government's interven- tion, never disclosed what and when it bought or how much it spent. But Chinese media say state-owned banks have lent the com- pany 1.5 trillion yuan ($240 billion). Its last large-scale ac- tion might have occurred last Wednesday, when the Shanghai index fell 5 per- cent but reversed course in the last minutes of trading to close up 1.2 percent. Ana- lysts said that probably was the work of the CSFC and its multibillion-dollar war chest. Already, the company said two weeks ago it would no longer intervene day to day as the government tried to restore normal market functions. The consensus among Chinese leaders "appears to be that this was costing the government too much money," Angus Nicholson of IG Markets said in a re- port. "Now I think they are trying to just slow down the fall," said Jackson Wong, associate director at United Simsen Securities Ltd. in Hong Kong. The Shanghai mar- ket soared more than 150 percent starting late last year after state media said shares were inexpensive. That led investors to be- lieve Beijing would step in to prop up prices if neces- sary. The bubble burst after an unrelated change in bank- ing rules in early June made investors think Beijing's support might be weaken- ing. The massive interven- tion might have interfered with decisions about in- terest rate and credit pol- icy changes needed to sup- port the slowing economy, said Zhu. "It's difficult to man- age all their objectives at the same time," he said. "I would say the stock market decline is the least impor- tant among all of them." The vast sums of money channeled into the share- buying operation also might have diverted credit from commercial borrow- ers, possibly eroding poten- tial economic growth. One way to reassure in- vestors, analysts said, would be to show support for the economy by cutting interest rates or freeing up money for lending by re- ducing the level of reserves banks are required to hold. The central bank took both steps late Tuesday, announcing China's fifth interest rate cut in nine months and reducing bank reserve levels.
