🎯 This Week’s Target: China Internet (KWEB)
The crowd heard rate cuts and ordered champagne. Meanwhile, downstairs in the engine room, the plumber closed three valves at once.
First, the spare‑cash bucket at the Fed has been largely drained; there isn’t much reverse‑repo cushion left at all. Second, Treasury is refilling its own account, which vacuums dollars out of markets before they boomerang back. Third, QT grinds on, quietly shrinking the pool again. Speeches sound softer; the plumbing feels tighter.
That matters for behavior. The buy‑the‑dip reflex wasn’t ideology—it was flow. Passive bids, option mechanics, and a sea of liquidity kept every wobble short. When hoses slow, opportunity morphs into a positioning check, and the next shock needs less force to rearrange prices.
Irony of ironies: the U.S. is talking easy while siphoning; China is talking discipline while spraying. China’s tape is ripping through decade‑old ceilings while the macro tape wheezes. Call it policy‑assisted optimism: fresh liquidity, margin accounts waking up, and a shiny AI chip hero to rally around. The wettest tap wins.
Below, as always, the rest of what’s cooking:
The Lagged Inflation That Doesn’t Look Like Inflation
A 40% levy on transshipped goods and fresh sector probes change the margin math before they change the CPI. The path is predictable: powerful buyers push suppliers, firms eat part of the hit, then prices restructure over quarters. The extinction of the de minimis loophole complicate inventories and pass‑through timing.
Energy Risk Is Re‑Pricing in Insurance
A drone strike near Russia’s Ust‑Luga terminal, pipeline hiccups, and refinery headlines nudged crude higher — but the more important move is war‑risk pricing in marine insurance. Underwriters don’t wait for vol indexes; they move premiums as supply lines wobble.
Germany’s Mittelstand Slump
Real‑time VAT/payroll data show Germany’s SMEs contracting on revenue and headcount, with construction and hospitality weak and investment still scarce. Yet European indices are breaking higher on poor newsflow, with the tactical case leaning on mean‑reversion and early signs of capex revival.
