The Drill – Will Chinese stimulus be a home run for commodities?
- Welcome back to our weekly editorial on everything commodity and energy-related!This week is all about China as the Politburo and PBoC have announced new (undefined) stimulus measures aimed at simultaneously countering tariffs from the Trump administration in 2025 and bolstering the economy, regaining confidence as China battles structural issues.
- This naturally raises the question of how this will impact commodities.
- As the world’s largest importer of commodities by a significant margin, China’s injection of capital into its economy could provide a substantial boost.
CPMC Holdings (906.HK) Update – It’s Time to Prepare for Different Scenarios
- If ORG cannot obtain the SAFE approval by the end of December, this indicates something is wrong in the process. Then the success rate of this transaction is greatly reduced.
- Acquiring CPMC is in line with Baosteel’s strategic goals and CPMC is important to Baosteel.So, the possibility of state-owned capital to agree to withdraw completely from CPMC is not high.
- It’s unclear whether Zhang Wei will continue to side with ORG, or whether he still want to exit. This actually depends on the renegotiations between Baosteel/China Foods/COFCO and Zhang Wei.

Pulsar Helium Inc. (TSX-V: PLSR): Pulsar in the Context of Peers – Topaz Shines
- Comparing helium projects presents significant challenges due to variations in risk profiles, resource sizes, stages of maturity, operating environments, and potential for commercial viability.
- For example, it may be more advantageous to invest in a smaller resource base situated near established infrastructure and customers within a favorable operational setting, rather than a much larger exploration asset that carries a minimal chance of successful economic development, even if exploration yields positive results.
- The purpose of this note is to compare the potential commerciality of the projects held by various publicly listed helium juniors.
