What China's Listing Frenzy in Hong Kong Means for Investors
In May, the world's largest battery maker, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd., debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a HK$41 billion (US$5.2 billion) listing that has been the biggest deal of its kind so far in 2025. It's paving the way for the likes of luxury carmaker Seres Group Co., energy drink heavyweight Eastroc Beverage Group Co., robotics firm Estun Automation Co. and other Chinese companies to list in Hong Kong this year.

Vulcan Elements signs rare earths supply deal with ReElement Technologies
(Reuters) -Vulcan Elements, a North Carolina-based rare earth magnet manufacturer, has agreed to buy a supply of the critical minerals from ReElement Technologies that will be sourced outside of China. The companies, both of which are privately held, declined to give precise financial terms but said that the price is "significantly below" the floor of $110 per kilogram that the U.S. Department of Defense guaranteed to MP Materials last month for the two most popular rare earths. The contract was signed in mid-July, Vulcan said. Rare earth oxides are used to make metal that can then be turned into magnets for use in fighter jets, radar and other military applications, as well as consumer electronics. "This pricing will enable Vulcan to be competitive in global markets," Vulcan CEO John Maslin told Reuters. "We wanted to make sure the unit economics made sense." Indiana-based ReElement, which licenses its technology from Purdue University, will supply Vulcan with "thousands of metric tons" of rare earth oxides annually for five years beginning in 2026 from outdated electronics or from mine sites, said CEO Mark Jensen. ReElement says it can supply the rare earths to Vulcan below $110 per kilogram because of its use of a processing technique known as chromatography, which is different than the industry-standard solvent extraction used by many of its peers. "We are laser focused on cost," Jensen told Reuters. "We will see where the market goes, but right now we're focused more on the market price versus that price floor." Reuters was first to report last month that the Trump administration is considering extending that price floor to other firms, news that was relayed in a close-door Washington meeting attended by Vulcan, ReElement and others.

China's Economy Needs Help, But Will It Come?
If ever there were conditions that cried out for stimulus, China appears to have met them. Recent gauges of growth and inflation were more than just disappointing. After an encouraging start to the year, the expansion is in trouble. But authorities have given little sign they are prepared to jettison the caution that has characterized their actions. Fiscal policy has already done some work and, while economists predict interest-rate cuts later this year, the reductions are likely to be modest. The wait-and-see approach could be justified while activity was holding up reasonably well and the US was figuring out just how punitive tariffs would be. Beijing seems intent to just muddle through.

Tesla Stock (TSLA) Motors as Musk Launches Chinese Rescue Mission With New Model Y
Elon Musk is ready to take the fight once more to China with the launch of Tesla's (TSLA) new Model Y L car. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The EV maker, which has spluttered in the ever-competitive Chinese market this year, promised that the new vehicle was 'coming soon,' according to a report on Reuters. Tesla shares rose 0.6%. Best Seller The declaration was said to have been made on Chinese social media platform Weibo (WB) today. Tesla also shared a video of the new model, which is a six-seat version of its best-selling Model Y. Tesla, led by chief executive Musk, is hoping that the car will help refresh its line-up and help beat off rivals such as Chinese EV maker Xiaomi (XIACF) and its electric YU7 SUV. It was launched to much excitement in June. So much so that Xiaomi said it received 200,000 orders in just three minutes after launch. It is priced at around $35,000, making it 4% cheaper than Tesla's rival Model Y in China. It also boasts a top range of 835 km, leaving the Model Y with its 719 km reach way behind in its rear-view mirrors. It can also accelerate from zero to 62mph in just 3.23 seconds. China Crisis This focus on performance and price has hit Tesla hard in China. It registered an 8.4% fall in July sales of its China-made electric vehicles to 67,886 units. This marked the sixth month out of seven this year where Tesla's Shanghai shipments have seen a decline, reflecting the mounting pressure Tesla faces in the world's largest EV market. This is important given that a fifth of total Tesla revenue comes from China. It's not only the price war which has knocked Tesla off course in China and elsewhere around the globe this year. Musk's involvement with the Trump administration and his flirtation with right-wing politics has also knocked the company's brand reputation. Tesla hopes the new Model Y will help spark a renaissance. In addition, a longer-range, rear-wheel drive Model 3 is also reportedly coming to the Chinese market. Is TSLA a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, TSLA has a Hold consensus based on 14 Buy, 15 Hold and 8 Sell ratings. Its highest price target is $500. TSLA stock's consensus price target is $307.23, implying a 7.70% downside.
