The U.S. government announced yesterday that the tariff rate on Chinese goods exported to the U.S. will be further increased to 125% as a &#34;reciprocal tariff.&#34; Although Trump expressed that he &#34;very much hopes to reach an agreement with China to end the escalating trade war,&#34; there has been no substantial progress so far.

China's thermal-power generation increased by 3.1% in April, despite a 1% decline in coal production, as the country faces energy challenges due to the Iran war. Domestic thermal coal prices rose 23% this year, prompting power plants to stock up for summer demand. However, renewable energy sources like wind and nuclear saw decreased output, raising concerns about the country's energy transition. The government may consider price caps if coal prices continue to rise.

Core CPI is expected to remain between 1.1% and 1.2%, indicating weak domestic demand. The Producer Price Index (PPI) is projected to rise to 1.5% to 1.9% year-on-year, reflecting increased energy and commodity costs.

China Shares May Crack Resistance At 4,200 Points

China's President Xi Jinping is set to meet US President Donald Trump amid concerns over the Iran conflict, which may provide China with leverage due to its oil reserves and rare earths dominance. However, Xi faces challenges including a domestic economic slowdown, uncertain trade relations, and potential long-term impacts from the Middle East conflict. Analysts highlight the urgency for China to address rising domestic gas prices, the effects of US tariffs, and restrictions on its tech sector, all while navigating a sluggish recovery from the pandemic.

'Genuine urgency': China's underlying concerns at the Xi-Trump talks

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in May, marking his first visit to China in eight years. The ongoing trade rivalry has seen China invoke anti-sanctions laws against U.S. blacklisting, while the U.S. imposes sanctions on Chinese refiners. Recent developments include U.S. Treasury Secretary urging China to influence Iran on shipping, and both nations engaging in trade talks amidst rising tariffs and export controls. The situation remains tense as both countries retaliate with tariffs exceeding 100%.

U.S. President Trump's renewed trade war with China

Chinese exporters are largely unfazed by US President Trump's upcoming visit to Beijing, viewing it as inconsequential to their business. Despite a 20% drop in exports to the US, they have successfully expanded into new markets, achieving a record trade surplus. The resilience of Chinese manufacturing is attributed to self-sufficiency and strong supply chains. While tariffs remain a concern, many companies are less pressured to relocate production, having adapted to the changing trade landscape. Executives express a desire for long-term stability rather than temporary truces in trade relations.

$Direxion FTSE China Bear 3X(YANG.US) How much more can it fall?

$Direxion FTSE China Bear 3X(YANG.US) Last week, the sell call of YANG was exercised. This week, holding the short position of the underlying stock as a hedge, and also sold the call of YINN, and sold the put of YANG. In terms of quantity, if there is a big rise, YANG will be closed out, and the short position of YINN will be held. But considering there are also Chinese concept stocks, and the short position of YINN itself has time decay, plus the money made from YANG can be used as margin, the risk can be controlled in case of a big rise.

So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGAFrom Donald Trump Truth Social 05/11/25 08:42 PM

So funny to watch old timer Martha Raditz on ABC Fake News (the Slopadopolus show!) this morning, blurt out that, effectively, Pope Leo’s selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump. It came out of nowhere, but it was on her Trump Deranged Mind. Remember, I did WIN the Catholic Vote, by a lot! Bob Iger should do something about the losers and haters he’s got on his low rated shows. It’s time for change. MAGA!!!From Donald Trump Truth Social 05/11/25 08:08 PM

I am happy to announce that Edan Alexander, an American citizen who has been held hostage since October 2023, is coming home to his family. I am grateful to all those involved in making this monumental news happen. This was a step taken in good faith towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators — Qatar and Egypt — to put an end to this very brutal war and return ALL living hostages and remains to their loved ones. Hopefully this is the first of those final steps necessary to end this brutal conflict. I look very much forward to that day of celebration!From Donald Trump Truth Social 05/11/25 05:38 PM
