The prospect of a meeting between President Xi Jinping and US counterpart Donald Trump has become a focal point for investors seeking some reassurance on growth and stability as the conflict in the Middle East dampens appetite for risk. Investors are awaiting clarity on the summit, viewing it as a potential sign of cooperation that could steady mainland China and Hong Kong equities. The meeting had been scheduled for the end of the month, but the White House said it would be postponed by five or six weeks because of the US and Israel war on Iran. Beijing has yet to confirm the date. Thomas Fang, head of China global markets at UBS Group, said the meeting would focus on stability and growth, which were critical for both nations amid rising geopolitical uncertainty. He said the China-US relationship had become less of a concern among global investors after the two sides came to terms on tariff issues Advertisement “Instead of choosing between investing in the US or China, more investors believe they need exposure to both,” said Fang. “The question has become one of allocation: whether to put relatively more capital into China or into the US.” The meeting could reinforce the view among US investors that Chinese equities were an important part of global portfolios, Fang said. Advertisement “In the past, the mindset was ‘anything but China’. Now the view is increasingly that China is simply too big to ignore,” he said. “Investors expect competition and cooperation between the two economies to coexist for a long time.”

Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings has integrated its QClaw AI agent as a mini-program in its flagship WeChat app as it pushes to expand adoption of its OpenClaw-based tool. It said QClaw was now accessible as a mini-program inside WeChat after an upgrade on Wednesday that allowed users to transfer files to their personal computers. QClaw was launched last week as an OpenClaw-based artificial intelligence agent for personal computers that users could control remotely from WeChat on their smartphones. Advertisement Following an upgrade to the initial text-only version, users would soon be able to send commands from smartphones to PCs via audio messages and images through the mini-program. In the future, it would also include functions such as the ability to set automated timed tasks, the company said. The new version, still in beta testing mode, would be made accessible to more users than the initial version, Tencent said. Advertisement The QClaw upgrade is part of Tencent’s efforts to make it easier to deploy and use the AI agent directly within WeChat, a super app with over 1.4 billion monthly active users, as Chinese tech companies race to capitalise on the country’s “lobster fever”.

Electric vehicles have taken a back seat to other tech investment trends in the last few years. However, while sales growth has slowed, EVs on the road increase yearly. And it’s not just legacy carmakers putting these vehicles into action – multinational startups like Nio Inc. ( NYSE: NIO ) are producing cars and battery technology to improve performance. Nio is an exciting company to keep an eye on in this space. Today, we’ll look at some of Nio’s underlying numbers and try to project where the stock could go in the next few years. Table of contents [ Show ] Current Overview of Nio Stock Methodology for Stock Price Prediction Nio Stock Price Prediction for 2026 Nio Stock Price Prediction for 2027 Nio Stock Price Prediction for 2030 Frequently Asked Questions Current Overview of Nio Stock The NIO share price closed on March 2026 at $5.96 which puts the stock up more than 14% year-over-year. Most of the EV sector has taken a hit in 2024, so this NIO stock-price increase shows positive momentum in the short term — as do other startups such as Rivian Automotive (Nasdaq: RIVN), up 43% YoY. Meanwhile, large competitors like Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) are up 77% YoY. Despite its recent struggles, NIO still has a market cap of around $14.58 billion and over 2.53 billion shares outstanding.

Nio’s vehicles come in three packages: a sports car, sedans and a line of SUVs seating five to seven people. The company...

The executive leading Standard Chartered Plc ’s adoption of artificial intelligence is leaving the emerging markets lender less than a year into his role, according to people familiar with the matter. David Hardoon , who is based in Singapore, is on gardening leave, said the people, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. He joined the UK lender in April 2025 as global head of AI enablement. A spokesperson for the bank declined to comment on the departure. Standard Chartered and banks globally have been increasingly experimenting with artificial intelligence by retraining staffers to ensure they’re using the technology in their day-to-day work. Hardoon brought in more than two decades of experience in data and AI across government, academia and banking when joining Standard Chartered. He had previously served as the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s first chief data officer. Standard Chartered ranked 26th among global banks for AI maturity in the 2025 Evident AI Index , which scores institutions based on their AI talent, research and patent activity, leadership communications and transparency around AI deployment.
