Chinese solar stocks rally; Roth more optimistic about settlement

"Based on our checks, we estimate the probability of [trade settlement] success is now ~30-40% vs. prior expectations of 5-10%," writes Roth. "The narrative for Chinese solar stocks, in our view, has shifted to a more positive tone."
Roth's remarks follow a letter from a law firm representing the Chinese government to the U.S. Commerce Department proposing talks for a solar tariff suspension agreement. Last week, Beijing retaliated against U.S. solar module tariffs by closing a loophole for U.S. and Korean polysilicon imports.
Though admitting many Chinese suspension offers have been rejected over the years, Roth thinks "the Chinese government would not have made an offer without believing it would have a decent probability of success as it does not want to be rejected by the US government publicly."
