Shares of China Evergrande Group Limited (OTC:EGRNF) surged after it resumed trading in Hong Kong, sparking speculation of a potential bailout. The company's real estate subsidiary also resumed trading. Analysts caution that the price increase is driven by speculation rather than fundamental news. The Chinese government reportedly has around $500 billion on hand to assist developers if required. Evergrande's EV maker subsidiary was not allowed to resume trading. The company's future is contingent on the decision reached by a group of secret creditors who hold $15 billion of offshore bonds.
