Besi reports higher bookings as AI demand picks up in Asia
Dutch chipmaking parts supplier BE Semiconductor Industries (Besi) said on Wednesday that its order bookings, an important gauge for forecasting future growth, rose 8.2 per cent against last quarter due to increased orders by Asian subcontractors for AI related data centre applications.
Its revenue was 144.1 million euros ($164.1 million) in the first quarter, down 6.1 per cent from the same period in 2024, due to lower shipments for mobile and automotive applications.

Asia: Equities rally after China-US framework on trade
[HONG KONG] Asian stocks rose on Wednesday as investors welcomed a China-US agreement to lower trade tensions that stoked hopes the economic superpowers will eventually reach a broader tariff deal. After two days of high-profile, closely watched talks in London, the two sides said they had set up a framework to move towards a pact, following negotiations in Geneva last month that saw them slash tit-for-tat levies. The news provided some much-needed relief to markets after US President Donald Trump accused Beijing of violating that deal. The latest round of talks followed a phone call between Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday. As well as tariffs, a key issue in the discussions was China's export of earth minerals and magnets used in a range of things including smartphones and electric vehicle batteries, while Beijing was keen to see an easing of restrictions on its access to tech goods. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he was upbeat that concerns over rare earths 'will be resolved' eventually, as the agreement is implemented. Xi and Trump must approve the framework first.

'We would very much like to find an agreement that makes sense for both countries,' he added. 'We feel positive about engaging with the Chinese.' Speaking separately to reporters, China International Trade Representative Li Chenggang expressed hope that progress made in London would help to boost trust on both sides. The deal, which was reached late on Tuesday, boosted Asian markets with Hong Kong and Shanghai among the best performers, while Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, Wellington, Taipei and Manila were also up. However, analysts said investors would be keen to get a closer look at the details of the agreement. 'The US-China trade circus wrapped with what can only be described as a diplomatic tautology,' said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management. He called it 'a late-night announcement that both sides have 'agreed in principle on a framework to implement the Geneva consensus' - a consensus that was... already agreed upon weeks ago'. And he warned that markets could run out of steam if nothing concrete came through. 'If the next headline doesn't come with something tangible, such as cargo ships loaded with rare earths or an actual rollback of tariffs, expect risk assets to start demanding more photo opportunities,' he wrote. 'Until then, this rally relies on faith.' And Saxo chief investment strategist Charu Chanana said before the deal was announced that while there was some hope for the talks 'the era of easy wins - tariff pauses and minor concessions - is over'. 'What's left are deeper, more entrenched challenges: tech restrictions, rare earth supply chains, student visas, and national security-linked concerns. These are strategic disputes, unlikely to be resolved in a few rounds of meetings.' Still, she did say that 'trade uncertainty has clearly faded since the peak chaos of early April', when Trump unleashed a tariff blitz that hammered worldwide stock and bond markets. Tuesday's news also overshadowed the World Bank's slashing of its 2025 forecast for global economic growth to 2.3 per cent, from the 2.7 per cent predicted in January, citing trade tensions and policy uncertainty. It also said the US economy would expand 1.4 per cent this year, half of its 2024 expansion. AFP

China's vice-president visits Spain as mutual courtship blossoms
MADRID - China's Vice-President Han Zheng arrived in Spain on June 10 for a four-day trip during which he will meet with King Felipe and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, a further sign of increasingly close economic and political ties. Mr Han's visit is taking place two months after Mr Sanchez visited Beijing for the third time in as many years. There, he sought to woo China's President Xi Jinping as global trade reels from US President Donald Trump's tariffs policy. The Socialist premier has been vying to position Madrid as an interlocutor between China and the European Union, as well as to attract more Chinese investment in advanced technology such as batteries, electric vehicles and hydrogen. In 2024, auto maker Stellantis and Chinese battery maker CATL announced plans to build one of Europe's largest EV battery factories in Spain. However, not all is idyllic in Spain's relations with China. Beijing's anti-dumping inquiry into EU pork launched in 2024 in retaliation for Brussels' tariffs on Chinese EVs hit Spain, a top exporter, hard. Mr Sanchez's last visit to China, however, clinched expanded access for Spanish exports of pork stomach - a product widely consumed in China but not previously authorised. Mr Han will meet Mr Sanchez on the morning of June 11 in Madrid, Mr Sanchez's office said, while King Felipe will receive the Chinese official on June 12, according to the royal household's agenda. The Spanish monarch is also scheduled to visit China later this year to commemorate the signing of a strategic partnership 20 years ago. After his meetings with Mr Sanchez and Spain's King, Mr Han is set to travel to Seville to meet Andalusia's regional leader, Mr Juan Manuel Moreno, who in 2024 secured over €2.5 billion (S$3.6 billion) of Chinese investments in the southern Spanish region. According to projections by tourism lobby Turespana, the number of visitors to Spain from China is expected to surge by 36 per cent this summer compared to 2024, making Spain the European destination with the biggest growth in tourists from the Asian nation.
