Summary
Chinese stocks listed in the US have dropped sharply this week, with Alibaba down 10% in five days and other big tech names off 5-7%. Lucas and Luna dig into why the selloff is happening even as the yuan holds steady and China's trade surplus remains intact. They focus on a specific mechanism: the rising trade-weighted US dollar index (now at 120.4) and its effect on dollar-denominated Chinese ADRs. The episode also examines how the latest Trump tariff threats against digital services taxes are adding a new layer of uncertainty for Chinese tech firms with global revenue exposure. Along the way, Lucas shares a telling data point about the relationship between the dollar index and Chinese ADR performance over the past year. This is a tight, numbers-driven episode for anyone trying to understand what's really moving China markets in mid-2026. #ChinaStocks #ChinaEconomy #Alibaba #JD #Baidu #NIO #PDD #FXI #KWEB #MCHI #Yuan #USDollar #TradeSurplus #Tariffs #DigitalServicesTax #TechStocks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
