michael eraklis kashioulis @MikesTrades: "Hello Copiers 2025 YTD 🟩..."

United Kingdom

Hello Copiers 2025 YTD 🟩 +4.90% What a volatile two weeks markets have had! We had the UK contract by 0.1% in January, and US sentiment fell off the back of all of the political turmoil, tariffs and everything else going on that side of the world. This is the lowest since late 2022. It can be hard to keep up with the decisions the US are making with regular backtracking and changes... China is also in an interesting position, although consumer prices fell last month, they announced a growth target of 5% for 2025. With deflation being persistent, government there are certainly going to have their work cut out. However, they have plenty of tools to use and there is lots of opportunity in this market I feel. 📓𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙤 𝙪𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 To continue to evolve the exposure to China I have an order to add the $MCHI (iShares MSCI China ETF) to the portfolio alongside increases to existing positions made this week to $BABA (Alibaba-ADR) VIPS and JD. To reduce some exposure to areas I feel we had seen lots of gains with but was time to take some profits, I trimmed back positions in $SPOT (Spotify Technologies SA) and $META (Meta Platforms Inc) whilst closing out fully of Bloom Energy. This equity has already been deployed in stocks mentioned here and orders. There is also an order for $IMEU.L (iShares MSCI Europe UCITS ETF (Dist)) that will be executed on Monday to give us further diverse exposure to Europe at a broader level. Finally, a new position in DJI of around 1% of the equity has been opened to balance out some reductions in US tech. Michael
