China's Calculated Play: How Beijing Is Turning the Iran War into an Economic Advantage

About this episode

The episode discusses how China is leveraging the Iran conflict to enhance its economic position and what this means for global trade and US investors.

While Western nations grapple with the fallout from the Iran conflict, China's clean tech exporters are cashing in, and its industrial profits are still growing — all while Beijing quietly expands its economic pressure toolkit under cover of a trade truce with Trump. We unpack China's strategic positioning and what it means for global trade and US investors. Today's Stocks & Topics: PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (PDI), Market Wrap, Welltower Inc.
