Alibaba Group Holding raised HK$80 billion ($10.2 billion) in Hong Kong's biggest secondary share sale, according to Bloomberg, underscoring its willingness to amass and spend vast sums to take the lead in global artificial intelligence. The online retail giant-turned-AI player sold 710 million shares at HK$112.7 each — a 3.6% discount to Friday's close of its American depositary receipts and 8.4% below the Hong Kong close. Its shares slid 8.1% at Monday's open in Hong Kong. The placement is Hong Kong's biggest follow-on offering by a company on record, and the city's largest share sale since Prosus sold $14.7 billion in Tencent Holdings shares in 2021, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The capital raising highlights how Alibaba ranks among the biggest AI spenders among its Chinese rivals, having sold off assets and pledged to spend more than 380 billion yuan over three years on chips, data centers and large-language model development. Its flagship Qwen offering is now the world's most popular model family.

Bloomberg reported that the US paused strikes against Iran for a second night while Iran signaled it was refraining from retaliation and held talks with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, easing concerns over Middle East energy disruptions. After 13 straight nights of strikes aimed at degrading Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping, the US has held off since late Friday without explanation. Iran's army said Tehran had halted its retaliation. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia told state TV that the US may have devised other scenarios but the current situation is not what they desire, warning that if Americans insist on continuing, the geography of the war will expand. Iranian and Omani deputy foreign ministers met in Tehran on Friday and Saturday to discuss maritime navigation through Hormuz. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the talks were constructive and some progress was made, though traffic through the strait remained unchanged
has recovered from $58,000 to $66,000 and optimism has returned to the market, with several observers calling the move the start of a decisive bull run targeting valuations well beyond last year's $126,080 peak. But a closer look at Bitcoin's performance adjusted for the cost of capital — represented by the US 10-year Treasury yield — and relative to WTI crude oil suggests the rally may be more measured than the nominal price move implies. Both the BTC/US10Y and Nasdaq/US10Y ratios have failed to eclipse their 2020-2021 peaks despite Bitcoin and the Nasdaq setting new nominal record highs over the past 12 months. Bitcoin's ratio relative to WTI crude oil has declined even as Bitcoin recovered from $58,000 to $66,000 — confirming that oil is outperforming even the most aggressive risk assets and that a new wave of cost-push inflation may be loading into the system.
Gold extended gains as dip-buyers stepped in even as tensions between the US and Iran escalated, according to Bloomberg. The metal added to its advance despite the worsening Middle East backdrop, with buying on weakness helping support prices. #xaut
