Taiwan to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese beer, steel for four months
TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's finance ministry said on Friday it would impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese-made beer and hot-rolled steel for four months starting on July 3, citing substantial damage to Taiwan's industry.
The duties on Chinese-made beer will be as high as 64.14% while for steel they will be as high as 20.15%, the ministry said in a statement.
"These products have caused substantial damage to the domestic industry, and in order to prevent the industry from continuing to suffer during the period of the investigation, the products would be subject to temporary anti-dumping duties," the ministry said.
China's Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
China has previously imposed its own anti-dumping duties on some Taiwan-made products, including last month on POM copolymers, a type of engineering plastic.

Got $5,000? These 3 Artificial Intelligence Stocks Are Absurdly Cheap Right Now.
The stocks listed here have all benefited from opportunities related to artificial intelligence. There is still much more room for these businesses to rise in value due to growth in the tech sector. Moreover, these stocks all trade at low earnings multiples and look incredibly cheap now. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › If you have $5,000 to invest in the market, one way to make the most of that money is to invest in stocks that have a lot of room for long-term growth, such as those involved in artificial intelligence (AI). Another way you can expand the potential of your investment is to focus on stocks that are also trading at cheap valuations, since they may be undervalued and possess even greater potential to generate significant returns. Three stocks that check off both boxes are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: BABA), and Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL). With their modest valuations and plenty of exposure to AI, these can be excellent stocks to buy with $5,000 today. A big player in the chipmaking world is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, or TSMC. The company is responsible for making the vast majority of the advanced chips in the world, supplying 90% of them. These include AI chips. And this leadership position makes it a crucial company for AI's present and future growth. Through the first three months of this year, sales totaled $25.5 billion, up 35% year over year. It generates high profit margins of around 40% as low-cost production in Taiwan gives it an advantage over chipmakers in North America. And the expertise it has developed over the years and economies of scale make its operations highly efficient. TSMC is an integral player in the AI world, and it would be hard to replace its production. As AI spreads, the company is likely to experience a significant uptick in demand. The stock currently trades at less than 23 times its future earnings (based on analyst estimates), which is an absurdly cheap valuation given that's roughly about the same multiple of the average S&P 500 stock. But TSMC is not an average stock, and it arguably deserves much more of a premium given its huge growth potential due to AI. Given the possible upside, this can be a great place to invest $5,000. China-based Alibaba Group is another tech company in the same part of the world that can make for a compelling AI investment. It has a broad business in China that encompasses cloud computing, e-commerce, digital media, and entertainment. Revenue for the first three months of 2025 rose by 7% to $32.6 billion. That growth rate may look unimpressive, but certain segments are growing much faster than others. Its cloud computing business, for example, rose by 18%. And its international digital commerce expanded by 22%. The company says AI has accelerated its growth, and for a seventh straight quarter, revenue related to the technology grew by triple digits. It was reported earlier this year that Alibaba had partnered with Apple to help the iPhone maker develop AI features. The stock is even cheaper than TSMC's shares, at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of less than 12. Although it's up more than 30% this year, there is still plenty of room for the stock to move even higher. Alibaba has a diverse business, and with AI injecting more growth into its operations, this can be an underrated stock to invest $5,000 into right now. Rounding out this list of underrated AI stocks is Dell Technologies. The company is known for making personal computers, but its business has been experiencing a lot of growth due to high demand for its AI-optimized servers. In its most recent quarter, ended May 2, revenue totaled $23.4 billion, up by a modest 5% year over year. But in its servers and networking business, the increase was much higher at 16% and totaled $6.3 billion. For the current year, the company is projecting AI system sales of about $15 billion. One area to watch is on the consumer side, however. That business experienced an 19% drop in revenue during the quarter but that may present an attractive growth opportunity since AI-powered PCs are in their early innings and may be in hot demand later on. Unfortunately, due to a challenging economy, consumers aren't eager to upgrade to an expensive computer, even if it has cutting-edge technologies. But that could change. Dell can benefit from AI-powered growth in multiple segments of its business, which makes it a compelling place to invest $5,000 and just sit and wait. The stock trades at a forward P/E of less than 13, making this another absurdly cheap growth stock to add to your portfolio for the long haul.

US labor market adds 139,000 jobs in May, unemployment holds steady at 4.2%
The May jobs report showed the US labor market remained largely resilient amid President Trump's new tariff policy. The US economy added 139,000 nonfarm payrolls in May, more than the 126,000 expected by economists. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%. In April, the US economy added 177,000 jobs while the unemployment rate held flat at 4.2%. Those figures were revised lower on Friday to reflect that the economy added 147,000 jobs that month. Revisions from March and April showed the US labor market added 95,000 fewer jobs than initially thought. "We're seeing a softening in the labor market," EY chief economist Gregory Daco told Yahoo Finance. "That's undeniable. But it's not a retrenchment in the labor market. And that's what was feared." Stocks rallied after the report, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI), S&P 500 (^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) all rising about 1% in early trading. Average hourly earnings in May rose 0.4% over the last month and 3.9% over the prior year. Economists expected wages to rise 0.3% over the last month and 3.7% over the prior year. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate fell to 62.4% from 62.6% the month prior. "The May employment report was mixed but doesn't alter our assessment of the labor market or the economy," Oxford Economics chief US economist Ryan Sweet wrote in a research note following the release. "We also remain comfortable with the forecast for the Federal Reserve to wait until December before cutting interest rates as the inflation impact of tariffs is still coming and will be more visible this summer." The May jobs report encapsulated the week of May 12, meaning it included the initial reaction to the US-China 90-day tariff pause. Additionally, Trump's baseline tariffs of 10% on various countries were in effect. Amid the tariff back-and-forth other signs of slowing in the jobs market have begun to emerge in the data. On Wednesday, ADP data showed the private sector added 37,000 jobs in May, the lowest monthly total in more than two years. Then on Thursday, weekly filings for unemployment benefits hit their highest level since October 2024. Meanwhile, continuing claims hovered near their highest level in nearly four years.

Shein reportedly plans confidential Hong Kong IPO filing this week
-- Fast-fashion retailer Shein is planning to file a draft prospectus confidentially for its Hong Kong listing as soon as this week, according to a Reuters report on Friday. The China-founded company aims to submit the confidential filing by Monday, the report added. This approach marks a rare departure from the standard practice in Hong Kong, where companies typically make public filings of IPO documents. If approved, Shein's confidential filing would represent a waiver of one of the main listing rules by the Hong Kong exchange. The company is one of the world's most closely-watched IPO candidates and could potentially be the largest listing in Hong Kong this year. Confidential filings provide companies with the advantage of keeping important operational and financial information private for a longer period. This process also allows them to undergo regulatory review without public disclosure. Under Hong Kong's listing rules, confidential filings are normally permitted only for secondary listings by companies that are already listed on recognized overseas exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.
