A what‑if from the future

What if Beijing unleashes a 10 trillion yuan fiscal bazooka?

A surprise RMB 10tn central-government recap plus consumption vouchers is a direct growth impulse: Freeport and copper rip on restocking, HK/China equities and global high-beta rally, VIX compresses. Rhymes with the 2008 RMB 4tn stimulus that drove copper to records and the Sep-2024 PBOC/Politburo easing pop. Forward angle: this cycle's test is whether fiscal goes to households (consumption) versus old-style infrastructure, vouchers would be the genuine regime shift, but markets have been burned by under-delivery, so fade the first headline pop unless the money is confirmed central-government and consumer-directed.

The butterfly cascade

How this trigger trickles across markets, left → right — the root shock, its first‑order moves, then the ripple effects. Drag any node; tap a market for its real price history.

Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving

Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 0–6 months horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.

What it would mean

If this plays out, it is a risk-on shock. China announces a surprise RMB 10tn central-government recapitalization and consumption-voucher package, ripping commodities and HK equities higher. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — China stimulus ▲ · Industrial demand ▲ · Risk appetite ▲ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.

If it happens — the markets it would move

Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Why we may diverge from history

Trust the cascade long on BABA/KWEB: history says down only because n=4 analogues are commodity-print events (palladium, platinum, PBOC gold), wrong channel for a China-equity stimulus bazooka.

Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did

Across 9 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.

Why this probability

Beijing favors targeted drip-stimulus over bazookas; RMB10tn central recap unlikely near-term. A base‑rate‑anchored prior, continuously scored against what actually happens — not a forecast.
