Question 1

Сценарий A: Escalation?

Accepted Answer

Scenario A (Escalation) — 50% Chain: China's export prices surge due to global oil shock and AI investment boom driving chip prices higher. This leads to increased import costs for other countries, potentially causing trade tensions and a slowdown in global manufacturing. * Increased volatility in Chinese export data: A significant increase in month-over-month changes in export volumes and values. * China's central bank raises interest rates: This signals the government is concerned about inflation and potential economic instability. Scenario B (Status Quo) — 38% Chain: China's export prices remain relatively stable, influenced by global oil price fluctuations but also tempered by domestic production capacity constraints. The AI investment boom continues to drive chip demand, leading to a gradual in (30% model probability, not a guarantee)

Question 3

Сценарий C: De-escalation?

Accepted Answer

Scenario A (Escalation) — 50% Chain: China's export prices surge due to global oil shock and AI investment boom driving chip prices higher. This leads to increased import costs for other countries, potentially causing trade tensions and a slowdown in global manufacturing. * Increased volatility in Chinese export data: A significant increase in month-over-month changes in export volumes and values. * China's central bank raises interest rates: This signals the government is concerned about inflation and potential economic instability. Scenario B (Status Quo) — 38% Chain: China's export prices remain relatively stable, influenced by global oil price fluctuations but also tempered by domestic production capacity constraints. The AI investment boom continues to drive chip demand, leading to a gradual in (19% model probability, not a guarantee)
