Airbus SE share price gains on reports of this BIG China order, rises 6% in 3 days. Will the rally continue?
Airbus SE share price: Shares of Airbus Group SE jumped over 3% in opening deals on Wednesday, June 4, extending their rally to the third straight session amid reports that Chinese airlines are considering placing a big order for Airbus SE aircraft. With today's rise, the stock gained 6% in the last three sessions.
According to a Bloomberg report, Chinese airlines are considering ordering up to 300 narrowbody and widebody Airbus SE aircraft as soon as next month when European leaders visit Beijing. The order could rise to as many as 500 aircraft, one of the people told Bloomberg.
Reuters first reported in April that China has been in on-and-off negotiations to place an order for up to 500 Airbus jets.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany are among leaders who may visit Beijing in July to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. Their countries are the two biggest owners of Airbus.
'Airbus SE's share price has skyrocketed after reports of big orders from China for jets. This has triggered fresh buying in the stock,' said Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities.
However, he added that neither side has an official update, so fresh investors are advised to wait for an official statement. The European Exchange is expected to seek clarification on this significant upside in Airbus SE's share price in the last three straight sessions, Gorakshkar said.

Trump's campus crackdown an opportunity for India to create its own Ivy League but it has a rival
With Trump's stricter US immigration policies, experts see India as a potential global education hub. Top universities are improving but face challenges like low funding and limited academic freedom read more As US President Donald Trump intensifies his tough stance on international students, experts say India has a unique opportunity to position itself as a global education hub—though it faces stiff competition from China. According to The Economist, India is home to nearly half of the world's college-age population. Its top universities are improving and gaining recognition, even as the country struggles with low public spending on education and limited academic freedom. Trump's immigration and education policies have made the US a less welcoming destination for foreign students. This shift has opened the door for countries like India to attract global talent—students and researchers who may now be reconsidering their academic futures in the United States. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India's top colleges have a lot working in their favour. In fact, admission rates at the country's most prestigious institutions can dip as low as 0.2%, compared to Ivy League acceptance rates of 3–9%. English language proficiency, a deeply ingrained culture of academic ambition, and a vast youth population give India a competitive edge. Half of the world's university-age population resides in India. Parents instill a strong sense of ambition in their children, and India has an advantage due to its broad English language competence. However, India is currently not listed in the top 100 worldwide league rankings. China, on the other hand, now holds the top spot in numerous polls despite only making it into the worldwide top 100 in the 2010s. China is already actively working to recruit global talent as part of a years-long strategy. To entice Chinese scholars back from the West, China has lavished money on one-time incentives and large research grants during the last decade. When the Trump administration said it would work to 'aggressively revoke' the visas of Chinese students in 'critical fields', Chinese institutions have moved quickly to capitalise. Universities in Hong Kong and Xi'an have announced that they will simplify admissions for Harvard transfer students. An ad from a body affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences welcomed 'talents who have been dismissed by the U.S. NIH,' or National Institutes of Health. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India, by contrast, has the demographic advantage and a growing higher education sector. If it can address key issues in its education system, it has the potential to build its own Ivy League and compete globally in higher education. Money has a significant role in the issue. India has allocated 4.1% to 4.6% of its GDP on education over the last decade. China's spending as a percentage of GDP may be comparable, but its GDP per person is five times that of India. China's intellectual charm offensive is outmatched by India's shortage of rupees. In recent years, more scientists have returned to China, driven in part by government recruiting schemes that promise millions of dollars in financing, as well as housing subsidies and other benefits. China's spending on R&D is currently second only to the United States. Chinese schools such as Tsinghua and Zhejiang University are now consistently ranked among the top in the world for science and technology. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Another concern is intellectual freedom. Indian academics teach from a government-mandated syllabus and are overseen by the University Grants Commission. When planning a conference with overseas colleagues, researchers must obtain authorisation from central ministries, as well as government permission to travel abroad for work. Hiring at public colleges is subject to the whims of the ruling party, as the government monitors top-level selections. India's best shot at building a globally competitive higher education system may lie in the rise of private universities. Two decades ago, fewer than 20 private universities existed; today, there are more than 400, accounting for around a quarter of total enrolment. Many of these are backed by major industrial houses, boast world-class campuses, and are increasingly attracting international faculty. Experts believe these private institutions are poised to outperform their public counterparts, largely due to their greater autonomy. Freed from extensive affirmative action mandates and political interference in faculty appointments, private universities can hire top talent more freely and respond faster to global academic trends. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD If the Indian government can find a way to support private universities without overstepping, India may finally be able to create its own Ivy League, and emerge as a serious player in global higher education.

NATO boosts defence budget, but US carries largest burden
On June 5, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Secretary General Mark Rutte announced an ambitious new defence spending target for all members, including the United States. The proposed target sets total defence investments at five per cent of GDP, comprising 3.5 per cent for core defence capabilities and 1.5 per cent for defence- and security-related investments such as infrastructure and announcement aligns with US President Donald Trump's longstanding call for NATO allies to increase their defence spending to five per cent, aiming to close existing capability gaps, strengthen deterrence, and prepare for emerging global EXPENDITUREAccording to the NATO Defence Expenditure report (2014-2024), defence spending among NATO member countries has increased significantly over the past decade. The United States remains the largest spender, with an estimated defence expenditure of $755 billion in 2024 — 3.4 per cent of its GDP — marking a 14.3 per cent increase since 2014. Notably, Poland has shown the highest growth rate of 213.7 per cent, increasing its defence budget from $8.6 billion in 2014 to an estimated $26.8 billion in 2024, now accounting for 4.12 per cent of its GDP. Other countries like Turkey and the Netherlands have also more than doubled their defence spending, with growth rates of 128.7 and 113.9 per cent, MANY MEET 2% SPENDING?Till now, NATO members have been required to spend at least two per cent of their GDP on defence to meet the alliance's guidelines. But in reality, not all of them spent that much. The number of NATO allies meeting the two per cent target, however, has steadily increased alongside the growth in total member 2014, only three out of 28 members (11 per cent) met the target. By 2020, 30 per cent of allies were spending at least two per cent of their GDP on defence. This number rose sharply to 23 out of 32 members (72 per cent) by 2024. During this period, the alliance expanded with Montenegro joining in 2017, North Macedonia in 2020, Finland in 2023, and Sweden in 2024, contributing to the increase in total SPENDS MORE?In January this year, the Trump administration urged NATO allies to significantly increase their spending, emphasising that European nations should take primary responsibility for their total defence expenditure has steadily increased over the past decade, rising from $910 billion in 2014 to an estimated $1,185 billion in 2024, based on 2015 prices and exchange rates. While the United States remains the largest contributor, accounting for around 73 per cent of NATO's total defence spending in 2014, its share is gradually decreasing. By 2024, the US is projected to contribute about 64 per cent of the total defence expenditure, amounting to $755 the same time, defence spending by European allies and Canada increased from $250 billion to an estimated $430 billion, although this amount remains lower than US spending. Despite the increase in defence spending, some NATO countries still fall short of the two per cent GDP target. The question is whether the recent rise in spending is largely driven by pressure from Trump, as the US is the largest contributor to NATO's Watch

US-UAE multi-billion dollar AI data campus deal far from finalised, sources say
A multi-billion dollar deal to build one of the world's largest data centre hubs in the United Arab Emirates with U.S. technology is far from being concluded due to persistent concerns around security, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The U.S. and the wealthy Gulf state unveiled the massive artificial intelligence campus project set to contain a cluster of powerful data centres during President Donald Trump's two-day visit to Abu Dhabi last month. The planned 10-square-mile (26-sq-km) site is being funded by G42, an Emirati state-linked tech firm that is driving the development of its artificial intelligence industry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo Technology giants Nvidia, OpenAI, Cisco, and Oracle , along with Japan's SoftBank, are working with G42 to build the first phase, known as Stargate UAE, set to go online in 2026. The project, which plans to use advanced Nvidia AI chips , has been promoted by Trump officials as a win in steering Gulf states toward US technology over Chinese alternatives. Live Events But according to five sources briefed on the project, US officials have yet to determine the security conditions to export the advanced chips or how the agreement with the Gulf state will be enforced, leaving the deal far from resolved. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories During Trump's visit, Abu Dhabi pledged to align its national security regulations with Washington, including safeguards to prevent the diversion of U.S.-origin technology. But U.S. officials remain cautious about the UAE's close relationship with China, four of the sources said, noting that the concerns are consistent with those raised during both the Biden administration and Trump's first term, primarily around the Gulf state's reliability as a strategic partner. The sources did not specify whether new evidence had emerged, but said existing concerns remain unresolved. During Trump's first term, the UAE and other Gulf states moved forward with deploying Huawei 5G technology despite U.S. objections. Others in the administration also doubt whether the UAE, despite its intentions, can prevent U.S. technology from reaching Washington's adversaries, four of the sources said. A White House spokesperson referred Reuters to the Commerce Department, which did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did the UAE government. Four sources said the U.S. administration had no clear timeline for finalising the deal. Abu Dhabi would need to accept yet-to-be-defined U.S. controls on the technology, but it could also request amendments that may delay final approval, they said. Two sources said U.S. controls would likely prohibit the use of Chinese technology and restrict the employment of Chinese nationals at the site that is being referred to as an AI campus. The administration remains committed to concluding the deal, four of the sources said, but noted there was opposition among Republicans and Democrats over concerns regarding the UAE's ties with China. Stargate UAE is scheduled to come online next year with an estimated 100,000 advanced Nvidia chips. The 1-gigawatt project will use Nvidia's Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, currently the most advanced AI server that Nvidia offers. Although smaller than the U.S. state of Maine, the UAE is a influential Middle Eastern player known for its strategic hedging that has seen it forge close ties with China and Russia. Last year, under pressure from the Biden administration, G42 ripped out Chinese hardware and sold its Chinese investments. In return, it gained better access to advanced American technology, while Microsoft acquired a $1.5 billion stake in G42. Nevertheless, major Chinese firms Huawei and Alibaba Cloud remain active in the Gulf state, and an organised AI chip smuggling ring to China has been tracked out of countries including the UAE. The Gulf state has also become a hub for companies evading sanctions imposed on Russia since 2022 over the war in Ukraine. The Trump administration has said that American companies would operate the Emirati-built data centres and offer "American-managed" cloud services throughout the region. The so-called AI campus in Abu Dhabi is supposed to eventually host 5 gigawatts worth of data centres.
