Hong Kong IPOs

U.S. equities experienced volatile trading influenced by trade tensions and economic signals. Trump’s China trade threats, specifically regarding cooking oil, added market uncertainty. Despite this, positive earnings reports from major financial institutions and hints of a potential pause in the Federal Reserve’s tightening monetary policy offered some support. Oracle’s move to diversify AI chip suppliers, lessening reliance on Nvidia, signals a healthy competition. Chinese firms are increasingly choosing Hong Kong for IPOs amid stricter regulations elsewhere.
