Sector and Stock Performance - The technology sector exhibited mixed performance, with Alibaba (9988.HK) surging over 18% on Monday, driven by its announcement of a 380 billion capital expenditure and a robust growth target of 1 trillion GMV over the next three years. The integration of AI-driven e-commerce and cloud services further strengthened its narrative [5]. - The robotics sector remained active, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasizing the strategic importance of the humanoid robot Optimus, increasing industry interest.
