Agree. The whole article refutes the headline. Pure absurdity. Next level FUD. Strange that it's coming from Reuters, Reuters is usually ok in my experience.That Reuters article that was posted is borderline criminal. All the proper keywords are there for algo trading. It's such a pointless article that's the worst part haven't seen FUD like this in a while.
Even my Schwab brokerage account is posting China's April sales have plummeted 27% from March while ignoring the 40k production number. But at the end it qualifies the piece with: "(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally. This information is believed to be from reliable sources but may include rumor and speculation. Accuracy is not guaranteed.)" Hahaha
