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

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra
Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra's battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It's highly likely that the phone won't offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We're seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it looks like the company could step up with an upcoming phone. Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that HONOR has started testing a device with a 10,000mAh battery and a yet-to-be-released Dimensity 8500 processor. You can view the machine-translated screenshot of the post below. A 10,000mAh phone would have double the battery capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra (5,000mAh). It would also be significantly larger than the OnePlus 13 battery (6,000mAh). In fact, this would also be larger than some Android tablets like the Pixel Tablet (7,020mAh) and Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8,000mAh). Either way, a phone with a 10,000mAh battery would likely offer at least three full days of typical usage. Would you buy a phone with a 10,000mAh battery? 0 votes Yes, absolutely NaN % Maybe, if it's not too thick and heavy NaN % No, I wouldn't NaN % This wouldn't be the first phone with a 10,000mAh battery, as niche brands frequently offer rugged phones with larger batteries. However, these devices tend to be incredibly thick and heavy. By contrast, the previously released HONOR Power has an 8,000mAh battery but measures 7.98mm thin and weighs 209 grams. So we hope this new phone offers a similarly slim and light design. There's no word on a release timeline for this phone, but we hope to see a global release. Unfortunately, EU regulations mean that the device will likely see a huge drop in battery capacity if it comes to Europe. Follow

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.

Income tax benefit was RMB 12.5 million, compared with income tax expense of RMB 1.0 million in the same period of 2024.
