Stock markets mostly up at start of key week for trade, US data
Equity markets mostly rose Monday as investors eyed a week dominated by speculation about US inflation data and a prolonged pause for Washington's tariffs on China. Observers expect Donald Trump to announce an extension of a trade war truce reached with China last month, ahead of a 90-day deadline set for Tuesday. Meanwhile, a key US consumer price index report is set up for Tuesday and could shape future policy decisions by the Federal Reserve, which has come under increasing pressure from the president to cut rates. Investors have ramped up their bets on the central bank lowering borrowing costs at its next meeting in September following a series of reports -- particularly on jobs -- indicating the world's number one economy was slowing. Also in view is a high-stakes summit between Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska, which could pave the way for a deal to resolve the Ukraine war that involves an easing of tough sanctions on Moscow. The prospect of a breakthrough at the meeting added to downward pressure on oil prices, which was already falling on the back of economy worries and a bump in output from OPEC and other key producers. Stocks in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Wellington, Taipei, Mumbai and Jakarta rose, though there were losses in Seoul, Singapore and Manila. Tokyo was closed for a public holiday. London advanced in the morning but Paris and Frankfurt edged down. With Tuesday's US-China tariff truce deadline looming, investors are bullish about the prospects of another extension. "The market has fully subscribed to the high probability of the tariff truce being rolled over for another 90 days," said Chris Weston of Pepperstone. "As such, unless diplomatic talks fully break down, news of extension shouldn't move markets too intently," he added. Gold futures edged down after hitting a record high Friday, following reports of an unexpected tariff on the precious metal. Despite protracted uncertainty about trade, investors remain optimistic about artificial intelligence -- an area of fierce competition between Beijing and Washington. Reports Monday said that US chip giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) had agreed to pay Washington 15 percent of their revenue from selling AI chips to China. Investors are betting that AI will transform the global economy, and last month Nvidia -- the world's leading semiconductor producer -- became the first company ever to hit $4 trillion in market value. - Key figures at 0810 GMT - Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 0.2 percent at 24,906.81 (close) Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.3 percent at 3,647.55 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 9,113.29 Tokyo - Nikkei 225: Closed for a holiday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3454 from $1.3451 on Friday Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1648 from $1.1643 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 147.38 yen from 147.79 yen Euro/pound: UP at 86.58 pence from 86.54 pence West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 1.1 percent at $63.20 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.9 percent at $65.98 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 0.5 percent at 44,175.61 (close) pfc-dan Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Second Quarter 2025 Operating Highlights Dr. Yan Li, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, remarked, 'During China's e-commerce peak season in May and June, our products consistently ranked among the best-selling mid to high-end models in the electric bicycle and electric motorcycle sectors. Featuring enhanced intelligence and functionality, our new models launched in the first half of 2025 demonstrated our commitment to smart technology. In addition, we expanded our domestic retail network to over 4,300 stores in China, reinforcing our growth strategy in the domestic market.' Dr. Li continued, 'In overseas markets, our electric motorcycles continued their steady recovery throughout the first half, in line with our overseas strategy. Meanwhile, sales in the micromobility segment softened due to ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.' Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Revenues reached RMB 1,255.7 million, representing a 33.5% increase year-over-year.

This decrease was mainly due to changes in product mix, along with the cost-reduction impact in China market. Gross margin was 20.1%, compared with 17.0% in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by a higher proportion of e-scooter sales and an improved gross margin in China market, reflecting the positive impact of our cost-reduction initiatives.

Share-based compensation was RMB 7.9 million, compared with RMB 5.4 million in the same period of 2024. Income tax benefit was RMB 12.5 million, compared with income tax expense of RMB 1.0 million in the same period of 2024. Net income was RMB 5.9 million, compared with net loss of RMB 24.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Trending tickers: latest investor updates on Nvidia, Tesla, SoftBank, C3.ai and Bitmine
Nvidia (NVDA) Nvidia shares dipped in pre-market trading on Monday following reports that the chipmaker has agreed to an unprecedented arrangement to pay the US government 15% of its China-derived revenues in exchange for export licences. The revenue share applies to Nvidia's H20 chips, according to the Financial Times, citing a US official, noting that the Trump administration had yet to determine how to use the money. The chipmakers agreed to the quid pro quo arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licenses for the Chinese market that were granted last week, according to the unnamed official. According to export control experts, no US company has ever agreed to pay a portion of their revenues to obtain export licenses, the newspaper said. Read more: Stocks to watch this week: CoreWeave, Cisco, Aviva, Entain and Persimmon Donald Trump has encouraged firms, and countries, to make investments in the US to, in his words, 'buy down' the tariff rates he imposes. AMD (AMD) has also reportedly agreed to pay 15% of its revenue to the US government, in sales of its MI308 chip. Tesla (TSLA) Shares in Tesla rose in pre-market trading after chief executive Elon Musk said the company would increase its focus on autonomous driving systems, including Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot. In a post on X, Musk confirmed the disbanding of the entire Dojo supercomputer team. The group had been tasked with developing Tesla's in-house artificial intelligence (AI) chips to support its self-driving technologies and the Optimus humanoid robot. He added that Tesla's AI5 and AI6 chips would assume the role previously held by the Dojo team. 'It doesn't make sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two quite different AI chip designs,' Musk said in the post. The company plans to use its AI5 and AI6 chips for both training and inference of its autonomous driving systems, such as FSD and Autopilot. The same chips will also be deployed in Tesla's consumer product line, including the Optimus robot, the Cybercab, and the next-generation Roadster. SoftBank (9984.T) SoftBank has selected several leading investment banks to assist with a potential initial public offering in the United States for PayPay, its Japanese payments app operator, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase & Co, Mizuho Financial Group (MFG), and Morgan Stanley are leading preparations for the listing, the sources said. The PayPay offering may raise more than $2bn (£1.48bn) from investors when it takes place, which the sources said could be as soon as the final quarter of this year. The individuals cautioned that factors including timing and the amount the IPO could raise are subject to market conditions. Read more: UK taxpayers 'subsidising' S&P 500, says LSEG boss The potential listing comes on the heels of a strong earnings report from the Tokyo-based tech conglomerate. Last week, SoftBank revealed it made a net profit of $2.9bn in its first quarter, boosted by its investment in Nvidia (NVDA). It reported net income of ¥422bn ($2.9bn) in its fiscal first quarter ending in June, beating analysts' expectations of closer to ¥128bn, according to LSEG (LSEG.L) data. (AI) Shares in fell by around 20% in pre-market trading after the enterprise AI software company released preliminary fiscal first-quarter results that came in well below expectations. The California-based artificial intelligence software maker forecast revenue of $70.2m to $70.4m for the quarter ended in July, around 33% below the midpoint of its previous guidance range of $100m to $109m. The figure also represents a 19% year-on-year decline. Adjusted operating losses are expected to range between $57.7m and $59.9m, roughly double the $23.5m to $33.5m loss the company had originally projected. 'The good news is we have completely restructured the sales and services organisation... The bad news is that sales results in Q1 were completely unacceptable,' Thomas Siebel, chairman and CEO of said. In July, the company announced that Siebel would step down for health reasons. In a company release, Siebel said he had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that has caused 'significant visual impairment.' DA Davidson downgraded from Neutral to Underperform and reduced its price target to $13.00 from $25.00 following the company's preliminary results announcement. Bitmine (BMNR) Shares in BitMine were up 14% ahead of the US opening bell on Monday, extending Friday's 25% surge, after Ethereum (ETH-USD) crossed the $4,000 threshold for the first time this year. The crypto mining firm has carved out a unique position by amassing and holding more than 833,000 ETH tokens, a stash worth nearly $3bn, making it the largest public holder of Ethereum. As a result, BitMine's share price tends to closely track the price of Ethereum. The latest rally in ETH has once again driven gains in BitMine's stock, with the cryptocurrency's break above $4,000 seen as a significant technical and psychological milestone for investors. Read more: Bitcoin nears record as Treasury investors boost crypto market Because of this, the company's stock tends to move in tandem with Ethereum's price: when ETH rises, BitMine's value typically follows. This close connection was a key driver behind the recent rally. Crossing the $4,000 level is widely regarded as a significant milestone, with many investors expecting Ethereum to climb past $6,000 later this year. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency was trading at $4.278.
