Musk Departs DOGE Officially; Saying Goodbye to the Trump White House

China Automobile Weekly: Is there an Evergrand in the China auto secto...

China automaker stocks plummeted 10-11% this week on: a) the price war triggered by BYD, and b) worries over the financial soundness of auto OEMs raised by GWM’s Chairman Wei Jianjun’s critics and the Ministry of Commerce’s probe into “zero-mileage second-hand cars”. We deem these concerns valid but the risks remain manageable as long as sales keep growing. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top BUYs: Geely and XPeng. Cut target price of BYD from HK$510.00 to HK$490.00.

We will be watching the 10- and 30-year Treasury yields closely, as both are approaching important resistance levels (more on that below). Unsurprisingly, SPX only tested short-term gap support on the pullback a...
