Daily briefing / China market open
The market is pricing calm. China ADRs say otherwise.
Fed repricing, oil's sudden unwind, and tariff risk are compressing China-exposed valuations while headline volatility still looks tame.
Why it matters
- USD strength is becoming the transmission channel into China ADR risk.
- Oil's correction flips from inflation threat to margin tailwind, but only if demand holds.
- Option skew is waking up before realized volatility confirms the move.
Pressure timeline
News flow, skew, and prediction-market repricing converge at the right edge.
