Why do Trump-era tariffs pose a greater threat to China’s economy now?

China's Blue-Chip Stocks Offer Attractive Valuations: Buy Baba, JD, Tencent, Ping An, and BOC? China is already grappling with significant domestic challenges: a local debt crisis and a property market in turmoil. However, the looming impact of heightened tariffs presents an even graver concern. While many investors remain optimistic about Chinese stocks—betting on a "bazooka" stimulus from Beijing to revitalize the economy—it’s vital to consider the broader risks, particularly political ones. Stocks like Alibaba and JD have reported solid profits with low price-to-earnings ratios, and major Chinese banks such as Bank of China and Ping An Bank offer appealing dividends and seem fundamentally robust. However, this perspective often overlooks the risks posed by geopolitical tensions and

Can the U.S. Decouple from China Without Paying the Price?

As the U.S. accelerates efforts to decouple from China, the global economy stands at a crossroads. Can the U.S. truly reduce its reliance on Chinese manufacturing and supply chains without significantly raising costs for businesses and consumers? The Decoupling Dilemma Decoupling sounds straightforward—shift supply chains, invest in local manufacturing, and rely on allied nations. But the reality is more complex: Cost Pressures: Products sourced from alternative regions often come at a higher cost due to less-developed infrastructure and higher labor expenses. Time Lag: Building new supply chains takes years, during which businesses risk shortages and production delays. Consumer Impact: Higher costs often translate to pricier goods, fueling domestic inflation—a politically sensitive issue

US-China Relations: Trump's Hardline Stance to Fuel Market Instability in China

China's October Financing Data Disappoints; Government Bonds Drive Growth Amid Lackluster Credit Demand This article is written by Shernice, if you like my article please hit the like button.  Trump’s policies typically strengthen the dollar, which tends to weaken the yuan, stabilize global markets, and put downward pressure on gold prices. Currently, the smartest investment might be in U.S. assets—buying U.S. stocks and holding dollars. If China announces a major stimulus, shorting Chinese markets could offer quick gains since such boosts tend to have fleeting effects, with market gains evaporating quickly. Despite this, many still hold the belief that Chinese stocks are due for a bull run, seeing them as undervalued compared to U.S. stocks, which they view as already overpriced. Let

US-Listed Chinese Stocks Earnings Are Coming; Options Market Sentiment Turns Bullish Implied volatility often spikes before a company releases its earnings, as market uncertainty drives up demand for options from speculators and hedgers.

Chinese stocks may have more upside than consensus thinks

Trumphoria is gripping markets — everyone expects a repeat of the 2016 bull run when Trump first got elected.All the obvious beneficiaries of a Trump presidency have been rallying, while some of the obvious losers have been punished.Conventional wisdom says one “obvious loser“ (i.e. China A-Shares) will suffer under the second coming of Trump, with the prospect of more tariffs, trade-wars, and tough negotiations hanging overhead.The logic is that trade war 2.0 risk and a generally hawkish geopolitical tone across the incoming Trump administration will present further challenges for an already ailing Chinese economy.And there’s probably some truth in that — it’s going to be: not-boring.As things stand right now, China is in the middle of its worst property downturn on record, local governme

JD:Profit Growth Outpace Revenue Acceleration; Maintain BUY and $45 PT

We are maintaining our BUY rating and $45 PT after JD reported in-line 3Q revenue with profits substantially above estimates. $JD.com(JD)$ total revenue grew 5% y/y in 3Q (accelerating 4pts from 2Q), with JDR revenue up 6% y/y (vs. +1% y/y in 2Q). Moreover, 3Q gross profit grew 16% y/y, accelerating 5pt from 2Q, and was 11pts faster than revenue growth, with gross margin up 165bps y/y (vs. +137bps in 2Q), due to supply chain efficiency improvement and revenue mix shift to higher margin business lines. 3P growth continued to outpace 1P, with order volume growth accelerating from 2Q, driving double-digit advertising revenue up.Electronics and home appliance revenues grew 3% y/y in 3Q, vs. -5% in 2Q, partially due to government’s trade-in incentives.

Hong Kong markets recover from post Trump 2024 victory selloff

As expected, yesterday’s China dump was short-lived. Many of these names have recovered all of Wednesday’s losses and are already up even more. Investors are looking at stimulus instead of worrying what Trump will do when he takes office next year. That’s because a good domestic economy - and a strong real estate market - solves a lot of China’s problems.ImageHong Kong markets recover from post Trump 2024 victory selloff. $HSTECH(HSTECH)$ +2.25% led by $MEITUAN-W(03690)$ $KUAISHOU-W(01024)$ $TME-SW(01698)$.

$Alibaba(BABA)$ People are selling it because of a disappointment on stimulus spending however it is a company that has multiple segments that are growing quickly and other segments that are extremely profitable. They have reeled in their capital expenditure and their discipline has improved. They are no longer diluting shareholders, buying back shares and paying a dividend. If you look at the bond market you'll see how low the yield is on their bonds which indicates a lot as Bond markets are much more rational and subject to sentiment versus the equity Market. The only reason you would have negative feelings for Alibaba is if you think they were going to be nationalized which is just silly. Alibaba and most big Chinese t

Xiaomi's mission, values and ecosystem plus it's range of products in the Human x home x car concept is well-liked. As long as the price I pay is fair, I continue to stay invested in Xiaomi for the long term. Time in the market for a great company is more important than timing the market.

$Alibaba(BABA)$ Kuaishou and Alibaba are among the few value spots on the internet, both with valuations around 10 PE and still experiencing double-digit growth. They both have decent but not aggressive buyback programs and are facing competitive pressures from TikTok and Pinduoduo, leading to a bearish market outlook.It could be said that instead of acquiring a bunch of new retail ecosystem companies, Alibaba would have been better off acquiring Kuaishou.
$JD.com(JD)$ JD is often compared to Amazon $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ in China, and with the Chinese economy rebounding, JD is positioned for success. the stock is likely to rise steadily. The idea that JD will fail or go to zero is simply mistaken. Tariffs are unlikely to be universally set at 60 percent, and while there was a lot of strong rhetoric, not all promises will need to be fulfilled in the same way.
