Published 1 month ago
Description
Lucas and Luna examine a surprising divergence in May 2026: Chinese EV makers like NIO and BYD are gaining despite a weakening yuan, while e-commerce stocks like Alibaba and Pinduoduo are falling. They explore structural differences in how each sector is exposed to trade tensions, domestic demand, and the currency narrative. Featuring data on NIO's 7.7% weekly gain vs. Pinduoduo's 10.7% drop, and a look at the yuan's shift to 6.79 per dollar. Plus the hosts reflect on what makes a listener's attention worth supporting.
