THEME OF THE DAY    China banks - China's consumer debt boom (Stephen Andrews)    Over the past 2 years mortgage growth in China has surged supporting a buoyant housing market & helping partially clear the significant property oversupply issue many 2nd and 3rd tier cities faced. In the past 3-4 months another phenomenon has started to emerge which is equally interesting: Short-term consumer debt in China has started to surge. During Q2 17 household debt with a duration of less than one year accelerated & is now growing +34-35% yoy (faster than mortgage growth) and currently makes up close to 9-10% of all net new credit provision within China (a level we have not seen before). (Stephen Andrews – 852 2203 6191)    Alibaba - Jun Q margin: "when they go low, we go high" (BABA.N, Buy, Target Price: USD 208.00, Closing Price: USD 159.50, Alan Hellawell)    Alibaba delivered a strong quarter with revenue of RMB50.2b (+56% YoY), 2%/5% ahead of DBe/street.
