Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said Ukraine did not participate in the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia and Europe and had not even contemplated it, and offered Kyiv’s cooperation in the investigation. A Ukrainian suspect wanted by German authorities was arrested in Croatia earlier — the second Ukrainian detained in the case. Zelenskiy said Ukraine’s prosecutor’s office and foreign ministry are investigating.

CITIC Securities says the recent tech equity correction reflects forward pricing risks in AI-related names, not solely high US long-term yields. Three key narrative variables determine valuation: whether commercialization speed and market scope meet expectations; whether compute advantage yields share and pricing power; and whether current compute gaps will widen future AI model divergence. The current consensus concern centers on commercialization speed and scope; the largest latent risk is whether "anti-distillation" will re-widen model gaps. On macro, the US Treasury’s announced long-note buybacks have limited impact; near-term dollar weakness and weaker rate-hike expectations support narrowing of K-shaped divergences in global markets. However, drivers of sustained US long-end yield rises remain intact and further volatility is possible. Given external shocks and the A-share market’s short-term funding structure, market complexity is increasing; investors should manage expectations and avoid broad, conviction-heavy narratives in this volatile phase.
