Bloomberg27-05-2025
Chinese Premier Li Qiang rallied a group of Southeast Asian and Gulf states to deepen cooperation, as the Asian nation ramps up its charm offensive abroad to counter US efforts to isolate the economy.
'We should firmly expand regional opening up and develop a big market,' Li said at a meeting with leaders from Southeast Asia and the Middle East in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday. 'We should effectively manage differences in the spirit of mutual understanding.'

Top Analyst Sees More Upside for Nvidia (NVDA); $185 Price Target Signals Room to Run

Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) already stormed past a $3.9 trillion market cap this year; but according to one top Wall Street analyst, the run may be far from over. Vijay Rakesh of Mizuho Securities a 5-star-rated analyst just bumped his price target on Nvidia to $185, up from $170, while reiterating a Buy rating. That implies about 16% upside from current levels; and yes, that's after a year where the stock has already climbed 27%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Rakesh isn't just bullish on momentum he's leaning into product strength, long-term demand, and Nvidia's ability to outmaneuver export restrictions with new chip strategies. The analyst sees Nvidia pulling in $202 billion in revenue for FY2026, up from prior estimates; and $4.38 in earnings per share, both slightly ahead of Street consensus. He's confident the company can continue outperforming as AI workloads expand, and its flagship GB200 chips remain hot sellers into late 2025. One of the more interesting parts of the note? Rakesh pointed to Nvidia's B40 chip designed for China as a hedge in case trade rules relax. While shipments are currently blocked, he sees this as a sign Nvidia's not backing down from the market; just waiting for the door to reopen. Then there's Rubin, Nvidia's next-gen platform expected to ramp in 2026; that, combined with ongoing demand from hyperscalers, could set the stage for another growth cycle even after the monster gains seen over the last 18 months. Rakesh adjusted his valuation multiple as well; he's now applying a 32.7x multiple on FY2027 earnings, a modest bump from before but still justified, he argues, given Nvidia's sheer dominance across AI data centers, enterprise compute, and cutting-edge inference hardware.

Vietnam Gains Edge With Early Trump Deal, US Group Head Says

Vietnam 's race to secure a trade deal with the Trump administration, even if the details aren't clear, gives the Southeast Asian country an advantage over regional rivals, according to Ted Osius, president of the US-Asean Business Council. 'The message from the Vietnamese government has been clear at every stage that we want to keep doing business with the United States,' he said in his first interview since returning to Vietnam to establish a presence for the council in Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoi's approach has been, 'we will negotiate, not retaliate, we're going to put a lot on the table,' said Osius, who was US ambassador to Vietnam from 2014 to 2017.

China's Trade Collapse Sparks a New Asian Power Shift--Investors Are Watching Closely

China's grip on U.S. imports just hit a new low. According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, China's share of total U.S. imports dropped to 7.1% in Maythe weakest showing since 2001. That's down 4.3 percentage points from the same time last year and less than half the 14.8% peak reached in September 2024, before Donald Trump reentered the White House and doubled down on tariffs. While this trend has been building since Trump's first term, it appears to be picking up speedand investors are watching where that demand is now heading. One answer? Taiwan. Its share of U.S. goods imports has nearly doubled in a year, reaching close to 6%just 1.2 percentage points behind China. That rise is no coincidence. AI demand is still red hot, and Taiwan's dominance in semiconductor manufacturing puts it at the center of that boom. Companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) could be quietly gaining even more strategic importance as supply chains reroute away from the mainland. Vietnam's also moving up the ladder. Matching Taiwan's near-6% import share, Vietnam is benefiting from a mix of locally made products and rerouted Chinese goods. But the story isn't all upside. Earlier this week, the U.S. slapped a 40% tariff on certain Vietnam-origin products tied to Chinese componentsintroducing a new layer of friction. For investors, this trade reshuffling could signal opportunity in the region's manufacturing hubsbut it comes with complexity that can't be ignored. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
