=================

My Observation:


Trump's political move is getting obvious, and likely will take the almost 180 degrees U-turn from the last administration office managed by Biden. Trump 2.0 is obviously very different from Trump 1.0, and this time China doesn't seem to be the main target... but Nato. And today HSI up another 600 over points, tell us that funds are continue to buy into the "suppressed" China Tech under the heat wave of DeepSeek.



Dear Investors, the situation now is obviously very different from last year. Tech stocks and Energy counters are still my favourite this year. But the fund flows are really sensitive towards Trump political move and moving fast. We needs to be more open-mind today as stepping into 2025... many things will change include U.S. interest rate will not cut further for the coming FOMC
