This blog is for me to work things out in my head by typing it out.

 It's not actually meant for anyone to read. Just fleshing my ideas out will make me appreciate whether I've gotten things wrong. Some things only sound stupid once written down.

OMH. A good article on the potential rebound in Chinas real estate sector

 OM Holdings is in the steel sector and is indirectly tied to the health of Chinas real estate sector. The article is here  Surging Secondary Sales To Stabilize China Property In 2025 View Analyst Contact Information Table of Contents Key Takeaways We believe China's property market has stabilized, with sales (primary and secondary) likely hitting about Chinese renminbi (RMB) 17 trillion in 2025, roughly equal to the 2024 level. We continue to view secondary home sales as a leading indicator of primary sales, with higher-value properties in upper-tier cities leading the recovery. Risk factors to this base case include policy-continuity risk and the possibility of sporadic defaults by developers, which could again dampen sentiment.
