An ascending AUDUSD signals China recovering About 1pm today Monday 29 December, 2025, AUDUSD made a higher high.
It's a bullish chart on the monthly as well.
There is serious talk of the RBA increasing the official cash rate in 2027, perhaps early in the 2nd quarter.
But many mining experts in Australia, for example, a very experienced Geologist, James Cooper see mining bouncing back and happening now in Lithium's cycle finally swinging back in vogue and copper, rare earths. Thats just for starters.
The video is short about 7 minutes and the key takeaway is that 0.71 is the likely target for buying AUDUSD but patterns create pattern's creating further momentum in currency's and take a look at how a bigger picture in this chart is at it vey early stages of printing which would trigger further Chinese world dominance.

SUPER MICRO SEMI #SMCI Can bounce hard to $60This stock has been hit hard on prior forecast cuts and underwhelming results.
So after a big derating, a "less bad than feared" can be a classic bullish catalyst.
So after sentiment washed out but secular #AI demand still intact, can encourage dip buying and short covering in this name.
We also have the #ASML rumour of IP leaking and SMCI speeding up their own fabrication technology.
Copper price predictions from Wall Street Citi forecasts copper reaching USD 13,000 per tonne in early 2026, with a potential move to USD 15,000 by the second quarter, driven by energy transition and AI related demand.
ING also expects higher prices, with its outlook targeting USD 12,000 per tonne in the second quarter of next year.
Deutsche Bank points to supply constraints as a key driver, describing 2025 as a highly disrupted year for mining. The bank sees the market in clear deficit, with the tightest conditions in late 2025 and early 2026, and peak prices in the first half of 2026.
J.P. Morgan thinks demand from China will eventually come into play, too, noting signs of growing pressure on smelters to secure raw material. The bank expects prices to reach USD 12,500 per tonne in the second quarter of 2026, averaging around USD 12,075 for the year.
AUD/CNY: Are Rates Hiding a Deeper Revolution?
The Australian Dollar (AUD) has shown remarkable resilience against the Chinese Yuan (CNY) in late 2025, driven by a complex interplay of monetary steadfastness and strategic trade realignments. Following the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to hold the cash rate at 3.6% a "hawkish hold" signaling persistent inflation concerns, the AUD/CNY pair is reacting not just to interest rate differentials, but to deeper structural shifts in the global economy.
Macroeconomics: The Divergence Trade
The primary driver remains the divergence in monetary policy. The RBA’s decision to maintain rates at 3.6% contrasts sharply with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), which continues to battle deflationary pressures with liquidity injections.
RBA Stance: With inflation easing but "sticky" in service sectors, the RBA refuses to pivot to cuts, effectively setting a floor for the AUD.
China’s Reality: Despite a surprising 5.7% jump in exports in November 2025, China's domestic demand remains tepid. This pushes the PBOC to keep the Yuan relatively loose to support the export engine, inadvertently strengthening the AUD/CNY cross.
Geopolitics & Geostrategy: The "Fragile Thaw"
The geopolitical landscape has shifted from hostility to a pragmatic "fragile thaw." The removal of the final trade barriers on Australian exports, such as rock lobster, has reopened and improved capital flows. However, the strategic environment remains tense.
Strategic hedging: Australia is balancing its largest trading partner (China) with its primary security partner (the USA).
AUKUS Factor: Defense alliances continue to create underlying friction, ensuring that while trade flows, political trust remains low.
Industry Trends & Science: The Green Steel Revolution
A critical driver for the AUD is the transformation of the iron ore trade. It is no longer just about volume; it is about quality suitable for "green steel."
Science of Decarbonization: Low-grade ore is insufficient for hydrogen-based steelmaking. Australia’s high-grade hematite is becoming a premium scientific input for China’s decarbonization targets.
December 2025 MoU: The recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on steel decarbonization between Canberra and Beijing highlights this technological interdependence.
High-Tech & Patent Analysis: Critical Minerals
The narrative has shifted from bulk commodities to strategic tech inputs. Australia is not just shipping dirt; it is supplying the inputs for high-tech dominance.
Zirconium & Lithium: These minerals are essential for nuclear energy, hypersonic missile components, and EV batteries.
Patent Implications: As China advances its high-tech patent portfolio in renewable energy, it becomes increasingly dependent on Australian raw materials that meet specific purity standards. This reliance underpins the AUD's value as a "proxy" for global tech supply chains.
Cyber & Technology: Protecting the Supply Chain
With the integration of AI and automation in mining (e.g., Rio Tinto’s autonomous trains), cyber resilience has become a tier-one priority.
IP Protection: Australian mining tech is proprietary. Protecting the data streams of autonomous logistics from state-sponsored cyber espionage is now a board-level issue.
Export Controls: Tighter export controls on "strategic technologies" ensure that while Australia sells the minerals, it protects the processing IP, adding a premium to the Australian mining sector's valuation.
Leadership & Business Models: The ESG Pivot
Australian corporate leadership has pivoted business models from "dig-and-ship" to "value-driven partnerships."
Culture of Compliance: Management teams are prioritizing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) credentials to meet both Western investor demands and Chinese regulatory requirements for lower-carbon inputs.
Innovation: Companies are investing heavily in on-site beneficiation (processing ore to higher grades), fundamentally changing the value proposition and supporting the currency through higher-margin exports.
Conclusion: A Currency of Complexity
The AUD/CNY increase is not a simple story of interest rates. It is the result of Australia successfully navigating a geopolitical tightrope while upgrading its industrial base to meet the scientific demands of a decarbonizing world. Traders must watch not just the RBA, but the flow of high-tech minerals and the evolving diplomatic dance between Beijing and Canberra.
K ey Takeaway: The AUD is evolving from a "risk-on" commodity currency into a "strategic resource" currency. Trade it with an eye on geopolitical headlines as much as economic data.

Is Europe's Industrial Crown Jewel Being Quietly Dismantled?Volkswagen Group, once the symbol of German engineering dominance and post-war European recovery, is experiencing what can only be described as a structural dismantling rather than a cyclical downturn. The company faces a perfect storm of challenges: geopolitical vulnerability exposed by the Nexperia semiconductor crisis, where China demonstrated escalation of dominance over critical supply chains, catastrophic labor cost disadvantages ($3,307 per vehicle in Germany versus $597 in China), and a complete failure of its CARIAD software division that consumed €12 billion with little to show for it. The result is unprecedented: 35,000 German job cuts by 2030, the first factory closures in 87 years, and Golf production moving to Mexico.
The technological surrender is perhaps most revealing. VW is investing $5.8 billion in American startup Rivian and $700 million in Chinese EV maker XPeng—not as strategic partnerships, but as desperate attempts to acquire the software and platform capabilities it failed to develop internally. The company that once provided technology to Chinese joint ventures now buys entire vehicle platforms from a Chinese startup founded in 2014. Meanwhile, its profit engine has collapsed: Porsche's operating profit plummeted 99% to just €40 million in Q3 2024, while VW's China market share eroded from 17% to under 13%, with only 4% share in the critical EV segment.
This isn't just corporate restructuring—it's a fundamental transfer of power. VW's "In China, For China" strategy, which moves 3,000 engineers to Hefei and creates a separate technological ecosystem under Chinese jurisdiction, effectively places the company's intellectual property and future development under the control of a systemic rival. The patent analysis confirms the shift: while BYD has built a moat of 51,000 patents focused on battery and EV technology, much of VW's portfolio protects legacy internal combustion engines—stranded assets in an electric future. What we're witnessing is not Germany adapting to competition, but Europe losing control of its most important manufacturing sector, with the engineering and innovation increasingly done by Chinese hands, on Chinese soil, under Chinese rules.
Is Intel’s Apple Deal the Ultimate Pivot?Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock soared over 116% this year. Reports suggest Apple may use Intel’s foundry by 2027. We analyze the drivers behind this potential resurrection.
Geopolitics & Geostrategy: The Stability Premium
In a volatile world, Intel offers a "stability premium." TSMC’s concentration in Taiwan risks Western supply chains. The US government now holds a ~10% stake in Intel. This actively incentivizes domestic production to secure the grid. Apple chooses Intel to hedge against geopolitical friction. This move aligns with US strategic interests, treating Intel as a sovereign asset.
Management & Leadership: The Tan Effect
CEO Lip-Bu Tan drives a massive cultural shift. He replaced Pat Gelsinger’s engineering vision with operational discipline. Tan prioritizes customer listening, an area where Intel historically struggled. This pivot is paying off. Securing Apple proves Intel is shedding its "arrogant" legacy. It is becoming a true service-oriented foundry.
Technology & Innovation: The 18A-P Advantage
The deal relies on Intel’s **18A-P process technology**. Apple aims to use this for entry-level M-series chips. This validates Intel's aggressive manufacturing roadmap. Additionally, the Trump administration invested $150 million in xLight. This startup develops next-gen lithography lasers to aid chipmaking. It reinforces the ecosystem surrounding Intel’s manufacturing capabilities.
Business Models: The Foundry Pivot
Intel is transforming from a product company to a hybrid foundry. Analysts estimate the Apple deal could generate ~$1 billion annually. However, the "Apple Seal of Approval" is worth far more. It signals to giants like Qualcomm that Intel is ready. It also creates leverage against TSMC’s pricing power.
Final Verdict: The Apple rumors convert Intel into a legitimate turnaround play. US geopolitical interests align with the new leadership. Validated technology suggests Intel’s worst days are likely over.
Is Boeing's Defense Bet America's New Arsenal?Boeing's recent stock appreciation stems from a fundamental strategic pivot toward defense contracts, driven by intensifying global security tensions. The company has secured major wins, including the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter contract worth over $20 billion and a $4.7 billion deal to supply AH-64E Apache helicopters to Poland, Egypt, and Kuwait. These contracts position Boeing as central to U.S. military modernization efforts aimed at countering China's rapid expansion of stealth fighters like the J-20, which now rivals American fifth-generation aircraft production rates.
The F-47 program represents Boeing's redemption after losing the Joint Strike Fighter competition two decades ago. Through its Phantom Works division, Boeing developed and flight-tested full-scale prototypes in secret, validating designs through digital engineering methods that dramatically accelerated development timelines. The aircraft features advanced broadband stealth technology and will serve as a command node controlling autonomous drones in combat, fundamentally changing air warfare doctrine. Meanwhile, the modernized Apache helicopter has found renewed relevance in NATO's Eastern flank defense strategy and counter-drone operations, securing production lines through 2032.
However, risks remain in execution. The KC-46 tanker program continues facing technical challenges with its Remote Vision System, now delayed until 2027. The F-47's advanced variable-cycle engines are two years behind schedule due to supply chain constraints. Industrial espionage, including cases where secrets were sold to China, threatens technological advantages. Despite these challenges, Boeing's defense portfolio provides counter-cyclical revenue streams that hedge against commercial aviation volatility, creating long-term financial stability as global rearmament enters what analysts describe as a sustained "super-cycle" driven by great power competition.
The Strategic Rise of the RenminbiAgainst a backdrop of economic headwinds, the Chinese renminbi is defying market logic. We analyze the geopolitical, strategic, and industrial drivers powering the currency’s 2025 ascent.
A Currency Defying Headwinds
In 2025, the **USD/CNY** exchange rate has shifted significantly, with the renminbi posting a nearly 3% annual gain against the dollar. This performance stands in stark contrast to the 5% depreciation seen during the 2018 trade tensions. What makes this valuation remarkable is the severe disconnect from traditional macroeconomic fundamentals. China currently faces weak domestic consumption, record-low interest rates, and a massive $281 billion capital account deficit.
Typically, such indicators would trigger a sell-off. Yet, the currency has appreciated. This divergence points to a singular, powerful causal force: tight, strategic state management by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC). Beijing is prioritizing stability over market freedom to project economic resilience.
Geostrategy: The 15th Five-Year Plan
The controlled rise of the renminbi is not accidental; it is a calculated geostrategic move. The **15th Five-Year Plan**, released in October 2025, signals a major pivot in Beijing's approach to global finance. The document omits previous cautious language like "prudently promote," replacing it with assertive directives for currency internationalization.
Market analysts interpret this as a clear signal: currency strength is now a central policy goal. By engineering a stable rise, China aims to mirror its strategy during the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis. The goal is to establish the renminbi as a regional anchor and a reliable store of value, countering the dominance of the US dollar.
Management & Leadership: The PBoC’s Aggressive Defense
Central bank leadership has deployed a sophisticated "reference rate strategy" to guide the market. Since November 2024, the PBoC has consistently set the daily midpoint rate significantly higher than market forecasts. The average spread between the PBoC’s fix and market expectations has reached 327 basis points—an historically high gap.
This is a masterclass in market signaling. By aggressively managing expectations, leadership creates a one-sided bet that deters speculative short-selling. This proactive management forces market participants to align with state objectives rather than economic fundamentals.
Business Models: State Banks as Market Makers
China’s unique financial business model allows for direct intervention through state-owned banks. These institutions have acted as proxies for the central bank, executing discreet USD sales and CNY purchases to cap volatility. This "engineered calm" has reduced the three-month volatility of the pair to near decade-lows.
The stability has altered corporate behavior. Exporters, previously hoarding dollars, are now unwinding holdings of over $1 trillion stored in domestic banks. This creates a self-reinforcing loop: state intervention stabilizes the price, and corporate flows then validate that price, generating real demand for the renminbi.
Innovation & Industry Trends: The High-Tech Backstop
While financial engineering plays a role, the renminbi’s strength is also underpinned by China’s evolving industrial base. The decline in low-margin manufacturing is being offset by a surge in high-tech exports. Trade competitiveness remains robust despite currency appreciation.
This resilience is rooted in the country's pivot to high-value sectors like electric vehicles, green energy, and advanced machinery. Patent analysis of Chinese firms reveals a massive accumulation of IP in these domains. This technological leverage allows Chinese exporters to absorb exchange rate costs better than their low-tech predecessors, sustaining the trade surplus.
Cyber Finance & Global Adoption
The strategy is yielding tangible results in global markets. Daily trading volume in the CNY–USD pair has surged 60% to $781 billion. The renminbi now accounts for over 8% of global FX turnover.
This growth is driven by institutional investors and central banks diversifying their reserves. China is leveraging this trend by integrating the renminbi into cross-border digital payment systems. This "Cyber Finance" approach bypasses traditional SWIFT rails, further insulating the currency from geopolitical sanctions and US dollar liquidity crunches.
Conclusion: A Political Asset
The 2025 rise of the renminbi is a political project as much as an economic one. It challenges the standard "Impossible Trinity" of economics by maintaining a stable exchange rate and independent monetary policy through strict capital controls. For global investors, the message is clear: the PBoC will prioritize currency strength as a tool of soft power, regardless of domestic economic pain.

Chinese stocks could hedge US tech crash Chinese stocks broke their loose correlation to US equities in 2021.
US tech stocks may or may not be in a bubble, but if they are Chinese stocks could be attractive.
The 2008 crash in the US was viewed as a major relative leap for China, because their citizens are generally savers (setting aside the reasons for those savings lol). They were able to weather the storm then and guess what, they're all padded with cash again because of the domestic deflationary storm right now.

-China’s consumer prices rose 0.2% yoy in October 2025,
defying expectations for no change and rebounding from a 0.3% decline in the prior month.
It was the first increase in consumer inflation since June and the fastest pace since January.
Non-food inflation accelerated (0.9% vs 0.7% in September), lifted by the expansion of consumer trade-in programs and increased holiday spending during the Golden Week, both of which helped boost domestic demand.

Nvidia Corp.($NVDA) Drops as U.S. Blocks AI Chip Sales to China Nvidia Corp. (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:NVDA ) shares dropped 4.18% to $180.22 on Friday after reports that Washington will block the company’s sales of scaled-down AI chips to China. The decision marks another escalation in U.S. restrictions on advanced semiconductor exports.
According to The Information, the White House informed several federal agencies that Nvidia will not be allowed to sell its new B30A AI chip to Chinese firms. Nvidia had already provided samples to some customers in China before the ban was confirmed.
The B30A was designed to meet U.S. export thresholds while retaining enough computing power for AI training when used in large clusters. However, U.S. officials reportedly concluded that the chip still poses national security risks.
Compounding Nvidia’s challenges, Beijing has issued new guidelines restricting foreign chips in state-backed data centers. Reuters reported that China will require all new projects using government funding to rely solely on domestically developed processors. Data centers less than 30% complete must remove foreign chips, while advanced projects will face case-by-case reviews.
Technical View
The NVDA chart shows a recent rejection from the $212 level, with price sliding toward $180. A further decline toward $160 support is possible before a rebound, as indicated by the yellow curve. Long-term structure remains bullish, but near-term weakness persists under regulatory pressure

Bitcoin Daily Analysis – October 30, 2025🚀 Welcome to another Bitcoin analysis!
Yesterday, the interest rate was cut by one step, just as everyone expected — and that’s definitely a positive signal for Bitcoin. 💪💰
But why did we see a drop? 📉
The world is still anxious about the U.S.–China tariff situation, and those concerns intensified after Powell’s comments, suggesting the December rate cut isn’t guaranteed.
Right now, the market is in a fear phase 😨 — meaning both good and bad news can move prices sharply.
Stay calm and patient, and don’t let the candles scare you. 🕯️🧘♂️
Overall, conditions still favor a bullish continuation, and unless major negative news comes from the U.S. or China, we could soon start the final leg of this uptrend. 📈🔥
The $106,000–$102,000 zone is showing strong demand, making it a potential entry area — but always manage your risk and capital wisely. ⚖️
Remember: every decision in this part of the market should follow your predefined scenario — never trade emotionally or react impulsively. 🧠💼

China Rally Loading? – Markets React to Trump–Xi Trade TruceAfter months of pressure, Chinese equities finally got what they needed: a visible political thaw. The Trump–Xi meeting in Busan marked the first broad trade reset in over two years — with both sides agreeing to suspend or reduce tariffs, reopen commodity flows, and relax export controls on rare earths and semiconductors.
The headline changes are not symbolic. China will halt rare-earth export curbs for one year, the U.S. cuts fentanyl-related tariffs to 10%, and both countries resume agricultural and energy trade — including soybean and oil deals. Beijing also promised to work with Washington on resolving the TikTok issue, while the U.S. temporarily suspends its “50% rule” that targeted Chinese subsidiaries of blacklisted firms.
This combination sends a clear signal: geopolitical pressure is easing, at least for now. The Hang Seng Index has already broken back above the mid-channel trend line, and momentum is building toward the upper resistance zone around 27 000. If the truce holds and follow-through buying continues, a retest of 28 000–29 000 by year-end looks possible.
From a valuation standpoint, Chinese equities remain among the most discounted major markets globally. Industrial, tech-hardware and materials companies trade at forward P/E ratios between 7–10, compared with 20+ for U.S. peers. If rare-earth exports resume and TikTok’s uncertainty is lifted, capital inflows into mainland-linked ETFs could accelerate.
The opportunity lies in the asymmetry: sentiment is still fragile, yet fundamentals are improving. A stable policy backdrop plus renewed U.S. demand for energy and agri-products could set up Chinese indices for an extended relief rally — potentially the strongest since early 2023.
Key levels to watch:
• Hang Seng Index support – 26 000
• Resistance zone – 27 500–28 000
• Break above 28 000 → trend confirmation and rotation toward Chinese cyclicals
Trade logic:
Short-term traders can target a breakout continuation within the rising channel, while longer-term investors may look at selective exposure to resource, industrial and tech-infrastructure names poised to benefit from normalized U.S.–China flows.
If this détente lasts longer than a “subscription diplomacy” cycle, China might be setting up not for a dead-cat bounce — but for the next real rotation story.
