It also expects to achieve a net profit attributable to owners of the parent company after deducting non-recurring gains and losses of -165 million yuan to -120 million yuan in 2025. The main reasons for the companys poor operating performance during the reporting period are as follows: First, the imbalance between supply and demand in the upstream and downstream of the industry has not improved, and industry competition remains fierce. Although the sales volume of the companys main products has achieved steady year-on-year growth, product sales prices are still at historically low levels. Second, construction in progress was transferred to fixed assets during the period, increasing depreciation and operating costs. Third, related expenses increased during the period, including share-based payment expenses accrued for the implementation of the equity incentive plan and an increase in convertible bond interest accrued compared to the same period last year.The onshore yuan closed at 6.9636 against the US dollar at 16:30 on January 19, up 54 points from the previous trading day.Following the latest tariff threats from the United States, European luxury goods stocks fell 3%, marking their sixth consecutive day of decline and a cumulative drop of 7.3% over the past three days.Ukraines power company DTEK: Its energy facilities in Odessa were "severely" damaged in a Russian nighttime attack.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) rises for a third day in a row during Tuesday's Asian session, gaining bids to 106.58. Thus, the greenback's signal captures the market's rush for risk-free assets in response to worries about the US and China's economies as well as worries about geopolitics in the Middle East, China, and Russia. It is noteworthy that aggressive Fed remarks and weaker US data enhance market trepidation and help DXY bulls.

 

Despite this, the DXY bulls closely monitor the gloomy statistics coming out of China and the US, particularly in light of the recession fears.

 

In August, the US NY Empire State Manufacturing Index fell from 11.1 in July to 31.3, below market estimates of 8.5. The August NAHB homebuilder confidence index in the US fell from 55 to 49, the lowest level since the start of 2020.

 

In other news, China's retail sales slowed in July to 2.7% YoY from 3.1% earlier and 5.0% forecast, while industrial production (IP) fell to 3.8% from 3.8% previously and 4.0% market estimates. Additionally, in an effort to counter bearishness, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) shocked the markets on Monday by reducing the rates on its medium-term lending facility (MLF) by 10 basis points (bps).

 

It should be emphasized that news stories about deteriorating coronavirus conditions in Shanghai, China's financial center, and the restart of Russian bond trading on Wall Street did not spur investors' desire to take risks. The Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) rumors of a potential meeting between US Vice President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping may also encourage investors to take more risks. In a similar vein, Chinese President Xi proposed new efforts to revive the second-largest economy in the world.

 

The Pentagon said on Monday that the US, South Korea, and Japan took part in a missile warning and ballistic missile search and tracking exercise last week off the coast of Hawaii. Between August 22 and September 1, the US and South Korea will collaborate on military drills. The DXY rises as a result of the additional stress that geopolitical worries place on market sentiment.

 

The three-day downtrend in US 10-year Treasury yields is around 2.775%, while S&P 500 Futures are down at least 0.13 percent day-to-day.

 

Moving on, the secondary US housing and activity data released today should be of interest to DXY traders ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes on Wednesday. The dollar's gauge might remain on the bear's radar if US data keep getting worse.

 

The three-week-old resistance line, which is now support at 106.35, would need to be broken for an extended period of time for DXY bulls to hit the monthly high above 107.00. However, in order to approach July's yearly high close to 109, the bulls need confirmation from late July's peak at 107.45.
