The Bear Cartel

In a significant turn of events on January 29th, the Hong Kong court issued a crucial order to liquidate Evergrande, once China's leading property developer. Evergrande, a key player in China's economy, faced insurmountable financial challenges, resulting in a staggering debt of over USD 300 billion.

Investors were wary of buying debt, but Frost, at 47 years old, provided a sense of relief. Now, he grapples with the newfound attention and strives to return to his role as a humble player in the occasionally raucous market. The upcoming week will test Frost's approach as the Treasury announces its quarterly refunding plans—an event that not only imp

On the monthly charts, 1300 emerges as a strong support for th
