Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
China's consumer stocks are getting hammered while industrial production stays robust. Lucas and Luna dig into the divergence: PDD and JD are down 4-6% in the last week even as factory exports hit records. They explore why household spending hasn't bounced back, what the yuan's stability means for importers, and whether Beijing's stimulus has run its course. Plus, a look at how port volume data contradicts the weak consumer sentiment numbers. Specific data points: PDD at $81.90, NIO at $5.30, and the yuan holding at 6.77 per dollar despite trade tensions.
