Why it moves the price

China is the marginal buyer for many commodities and a major end market for luxury, autos, semiconductors and industrials, so its demand sets prices at the margin worldwide.

What separates a good call from a naive one

Stimulus announcements have repeatedly produced sharp rallies that faded when implementation disappointed. Separate announced intent from measurable activity data before extrapolating.
