CHINA: Mainland stocks are up by ~5% as markets start the week on a strong note
following Friday's efforts by policymakers to stabilise the markets. 
- The Hang Seng has also risen 2.5% breaking back above 26000 to shift the focus
to the upside and the 28000 level.
- Rate markets have had a fairly muted response, with the 2-year swap rising
just 2bps to 2.89%, narrowing the discount with the US to 22.2bps from Friday's
cycle high of 24.1bps. 
- A sustained rally in Chinese stocks is looking increasingly likely given cheap
valuations, bearish sentiment, and the support of policymakers. This would
provide a significant bullish force for the yuan to help offset the drag from
rising US yields.
