Market Moves: Alibaba Dips Then Recovers; Ituran Soars on Rising Car Theft
1. $Alibaba(BABA)$$Alibaba(BABA)$ Up 4% in premarket and then down at the open on poor general market sentiment today. Wild.

Alibaba’s AI Ambitions Poised to Drive Next Growth Phase
Whether $Alibaba(BABA)$ takes another 3-4 months to consolidate or just goes for it in this current move higher remains to be seen. Personally, it would be great to have a chance at sub-150. But this isn't a stock you want to ignore going into the next round of earnings results. They obliterated 1QFY26 EPS estimates, while showing the market the potential of cloud computing to bring the company into a new era of development/growth.Remember that the company plans to spend US$53 billion over three years to develop AI infrastructure. That lays the foundation for what is emerging as the biggest driver of growth. Throw into the mix heavy mainland Chinese investor participation via the #stockconnect (wasn't there a year ago), and things could get intere
1. $POP MART(09992)$ Pop Mart has had a spectacular run over the past 12 months. Technically looks very weak with the H&S breakdown. But fundamentally, at a fwd PEG ratio of about 0.1 times (based on 300% EPS growth in 2025), this does not seem overvalued. 2.Mainland investors post net inflow into Hong Kong for 3rd straight day via the StockConnect. $BABA-W(09988)$ posts first net inflow in 5 days (~US$20m). 3. $Sea Ltd(SE)$ Sea Limited now oversold and almost resting at the 200d moving average - a scenario which it has shown to have recovered strong in the past.

Hong Kong markets tank on intensifying tit-for-tat trade measures
Hong Kong markets tank on intensifying tit-for-tat trade measures between China and the US. Hang Seng Tech Index dropped 3.6% today to close well below the 6,130 support. We could see further downside of 4% to 9% in the coming days as short-term momentum turns bearish. A correction was always in the cards but it feels worse when you have to take into account the "why" of the selloff, which is ultimately the uncertainty resulting from the heightened trade tensions. $KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF(KWEB)$$KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF(KTEC)$$BABA-W(09988)$$TENCENT(00700)$
Something to think about relating to China's move to restrict #rareearths exports and Trump's reaction to what has always been on the table given increasing US sanctions against Chinese tech firms...The only major rare earth mine producing in the US today is $MP Materials Corp.(MP)$ Mountain Pass mine.

It has the highest value of rare
