The hard power of companies is becoming a strong foundation, exemplified by Baidu's stock surge following its AI chip subsidiary Kunlun's application for a Hong Kong listing and securing a significant order from China Mobile [4]. 3. A strategic shift in global capital flows is occurring, with rising expectations for U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts leading to a weaker dollar and increased investment in high-growth assets.

The A-share market has shown strong performance as well, with the Shanghai Composite Index achieving an unusual "11 consecutive days of gains" [10]. - Despite the enthusiasm for AI chips and semiconductors, some consumer tech stocks like Tesla and Netflix are showing signs of weakness, highlighting the selective nature of capital allocation in this market environment [10].
