Foshan Haitian Raises $1.3 Billion in Upsized Hong Kong Listing
Foshan Haitian Flavouring & Food Co. has raised HK$10.1 billion ($1.3 billion) after robust demand for its shares to be listed in Hong Kong allowed China's biggest soy sauce maker to increase the deal size.
The company, whose shares already trade in Shanghai, sold 279 million shares at HK$36.30 each, the top end of the marketed price range, according to terms of the deal seen by Bloomberg News. That reflects a roughly 17% discount to Foshan Haitian's Monday closing price of 40.12 yuan in Shanghai.

China's Oil Demand Will Peak Earlier Than Expected, IEA Says
(Bloomberg) -- China's oil demand will stop growing earlier than expected, reinforcing the outlook for a global peak and prolonged supply surplus this decade, the International Energy Agency said. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe The IEA slashed forecasts for Chinese consumption until 2030 by about 1 million barrels a day amid 'extraordinary' domestic sales of electric vehicles. It predicts the nation's demand — which has dominated world growth this century — will top out in 2027, and worldwide oil use two years after that. While the Israel-Iran conflict has stirred concern over immediate energy stockpiles, 'oil markets look set to be well-supplied in the years ahead,' IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said. The agency was created in the 1970s to advise major consumers on energy policy. Crude prices surged the most in three years Friday as Israel launched airstrikes on OPEC member Iran, though the gains have since cooled as oil exports remain unaffected. US futures traded near $70 per barrel Monday, down 19% from last year's peak, amid expectations of an impending surplus. China's oil use will reach a maximum 16.9 million barrels a day by 2027, peaking roughly two years earlier than previously forecast, according to the IEA's report. Besides the ascent of EVs, high-speed rail and trucks powered with natural gas will help displace crude oil. China National Petroleum Corp., the country's largest energy producer, predicted in December that peak demand may arrive as early as this year. The IEA projects that global oil demand growth will slow to a 'trickle' the next few years, with consumption at a maximum of 105.5 million barrels a day in 2029 — roughly in line with last year's forecast. It would then decline slightly the following year. With China fading, the anticipated worldwide demand growth — amounting to about 2.5 million barrels a day total by 2030 — will largely come from India and other emerging economies. Forecasts for US oil demand were bolstered by roughly the amount that China's were cut as America cools on EVs. As Beijing recedes from the center of oil demand, the US will diminish in importance to global supplies after its shale oil boom helped provide about 90% of growth during the past decade. Investment is slowing as crude prices falter. 'When we look at oil market trends over the past decade, we see a remarkable double act' in China and the US, Birol said. 'But these dynamics are shifting.' America's output will nonetheless keep growing, complemented by Brazil, Canada and Guyana. About 5.1 million barrels of production capacity will be added globally this decade, double the increase in oil demand. Many leading players in the energy industry expect oil use will prove more tenacious than the IEA anticipates. Vitol Group, known as the world's biggest independent oil trader, and some Wall Street banks such as Bank of America Corp. have predicted that peak demand won't arrive until after 2030. Some of the IEA's other forecasts, such as its projection of a decline in coal demand, have missed the mark. At the extreme end of the spectrum, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries projects that oil demand will keep increasing until at least the middle of the century, though the cartel has backtracked on prior short-term forecasts that proved excessively bullish. While the OPEC+ alliance led by Saudi Arabia has in recent months started to ramp up the production halted during the past few years, the IEA sees limited need for those extra barrels as rivals expand. 'OPEC+ may struggle to regain substantial market share,' according to the report.

SoftBank Sells T-Mobile Stake for $4.8 Billion to Bet on AI
(Bloomberg) -- SoftBank Group Corp. raised around $4.8 billion through a sale of T-Mobile US Inc. shares, a move that helps fund the Japanese company's grandiose plans for artificial intelligence. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe The Tokyo-based technology group sold 21.5 million T-Mobile shares for $224 each — pricing at the bottom of the $224 to $228 range — in an unregistered overnight block sale, according to the final terms of the deal seen by Bloomberg News. The offering, which Bloomberg reported earlier, represents a discount of 3% to T-Mobile US's Monday closing price of $230.99 per share. SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son is ramping up investments aimed at making AI reasoning superior to humans'. He's overseeing plans to put down as much as $30 billion in OpenAI and is also working with the ChatGPT creator to ferry hundreds of billions of dollars into data centers and related infrastructure around the world under the Stargate banner. SoftBank's original plans for debt financing had snagged on uncertainties around US tariffs. T-Mobile shares fell 3.9% in extended trading, while SoftBank's shares rose 2.1% in Tokyo. A representative of SoftBank declined to comment. Representatives of T-Mobile did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal business hours. The deal is the biggest US share sale since Toronto-Dominion Bank sold a $13.1 billion stake in brokerage firm Charles Schwab Corp. in February. Sales of new and existing shares in US-listed companies reached $91.4 billion in the year to date, up from $75.9 billion in the same period a year ago, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The T-Mobile stake sale would be the latest example of Son tapping past investment successes — such as an early bet on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. that's yielded thousands-fold returns — to fund new ventures. What Bloomberg Intelligence Says This sale could lower adjusted loan-to-value by 1-2 percentage points, but it might need to monetize close to $10 billion more to keep adjusted LTV below a 30% downgrade trigger — assuming it invests about $40 billion in OpenAI, Stargate and the acquisition of Ampere Computing — based on March figures and the current share prices for Arm, SoftBank Corp. and T-Mobile. -Sharon Chen, analyst Click here for the research SoftBank received T-Mobile shares with the completion of the US telecom company's $26.5 billion acquisition of Sprint Corp. in April 2020. Later that year, SoftBank substantially reduced its stake in T-Mobile via a $21 billion deal that helped pay for a record buyback of SoftBank's shares. The stake offered represents about 1.9% of T-Mobile's outstanding shares, according to Bloomberg calculations. SoftBank owned 85.4 million shares or 7.5% of T-Mobile as of March 31, according to its annual report. Deutsche Telekom AG is T-Mobile's largest shareholder with a 59% stake, according to a June 12 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Bank of America Corp. was sole bookrunner for the deal, the terms show. --With assistance from Min Jeong Lee, Edwin Chan and Ville Heiskanen. (Updates with analyst commentary and share reaction.)
