TRUMP WILL ATTEND A MEETING BETWEEN THE AMBASSADORS OF LEBANON AND ISRAEL AT THE WHITE HOUSE - AL ARABIYA

Mainland China’s ChiNext Index has nearly doubled over the past year to an 11-year high, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Tech Index has fallen about 4%. Fund manager Xiadong Bao said ChiNext’s outperformance reflects stronger earnings visibility from AI hardware and energy-related companies, making them more attractive to investors seeking predictable growth. Gavekal Capital's Leonid Mironov said optical and AI hardware success is supported by strong earnings growth but noted ChiNext is top-heavy. Analysts at BNP Paribas Asset Management highlighted improved macro liquidity and AI-driven structural growth in China tech, while noting Hang Seng Tech remains more exposed to consumption recovery and competition pressures, with weaker earnings expectations.
