Thailand is poised to overhaul its liberal visa rules as the government ramps up a crackdown on foreigners who illegally run businesses or commit transnational crimes.

Visitors from 93 countries currently are eligible for the 60-day waiver. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Intro Keysight Technologies, Inc. ( KEYS ) is a supplier of test solutions and electronic design for a vast number of diversified customers in international markets. The $60+ billion-dollar California-headquartered outfit came across our desk due to its stellar 80%+ return so far this year. In fact, when we go further back to the stock's lows of March 2025, we see Keysight has returned close to 200% for its shareholders, outperforming the US benchmarks by a significant margin. Resounding top and bottom line quarterly beats have driven the above-mentioned rally, where normalised earnings of $2.32 per share on revenues of $1.17 billion have been earmarked for Keysight's upcoming Q2 earnings report, which is scheduled to be released publicly on the 19th of May. Both estimates, if met, would confirm 30%+ growth in rolling quarterly year-over-year growth in both revenues and normalised earnings. Consolidation Likely Post Q2 Earnings Release Therefore, as chartists, believing that market action discounts everything, there is ample reason to remain long this play (Hold rating), but not to add to positions before Keysight releases its Q2 earnings on 5/19/2026. Although established trends are far more likely to continue, the company's upcoming binary event may result in shares taking a breather, which the technical charts may very well be pricing in. As we see below on the 12-month chart, we now have divergences in both Keysight's RSI & MACD indicators. This possibly means that we may get some two-sided action over the near term (which may be temporary) before the next sustained rally can commence once more. This outcome, in fact, would be perfectly normal in that binary events usually 'wash out' the weak hands, consequently setting the stage for a subsequent trending move to begin once more.

SHENZHEN, CHINA - MAY 1: The Chinese national flag is seen in front of stacked shipping containers bearing MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company), Maersk, and Hamburg Süd branding at Yantian Port on May 1, 2026, in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. Cheng Xin | Getty Images News | Getty Images Chinese exporters spent the past year scrambling to diversify away from the U.S., moving supply chains overseas and targeting new markets, including the Middle East, as punishing tariffs upended their business models. Now the Iran war has heaped fresh pressure on those businesses, choking critical shipping lanes, triggering a historic energy shock, and threatening to crimp global demand for Chinese goods across the board. As U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping prepare to talk business and politics later this week, exporters appear less concerned about tariffs and more about hostilities in the Middle East. "They all want the war to stop," said Wang Dan, China director at Eurasia Group, who has been speaking with exporters across the country. Many of them barely mentioned tariffs when asked about their expectations from the summit, she added. "The focus is now on the duration of the Iran war, as they are worried about orders from overseas markets," Wang said. Some businesses have already drawn up contingency plans to downsize in the second half of the year if the conflict drags on, Wang said. Heading into the summit, Beijing and Washington will likely reaffirm their shared intention to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore stability in the region, said Yue Su, principal economist for China at Economist Intelligence Unit. But maritime standoffs and stop-and-go negotiations will likely drag on, Su added. The supply chain disruption caused by the Iran war is inflicting more pain than the erratic U.S. tariffs that exporters had grappled with for much of the past year. Take the case of Bryan Zheng, founder and chief executive of Shenzhen-based cycling...

格隆汇5月13日｜本周三，咨询公司Benchmark Mineral Intelligence发布的数据显示，4月份全球电动汽车的需求连续第二个月增长，原因是高昂的汽油价格促使消费者不再选择内燃机汽车——而这正是中东冲突爆发后，油价上涨产生的连锁效应。该公司称，4月份全球新注册的纯电动汽车和插电式混合动力汽车数量较上年同期增长了6%，达到160万辆，不过这一数字较3月份创下的月度纪录低了9%。中国电车品牌在欧洲的市场份额仍在增加：BMI数据显示，2026年前四个月在欧洲销售的电动汽车和插电式混合动力汽车中，有22%产自中国，而去年同期这一比例为19%。
