European Equities Open Higher as Commodities Decline and APAC AI Stocks Slip on Regulatory Probes
Newsquawk ·
European stock markets began the midweek session with gains, following a mixed handover from Asia-Pacific equities overnight. Chinese artificial intelligence shares retreated after regulators launched data security investigations into DeepSeek and Moonshot AI, dragging down major tech firms including Alibaba, Xiaomi, and Tencent. Meanwhile, gold prices pulled back to USD 4,335 per ounce as market participants weighed potential Federal Reserve monetary tightening against geopolitical developments, while industrial metals such as copper snapped a six-day winning streak amid a stronger US dollar. Crude oil extended its losing streak to a sixth consecutive session following reports that Saudi Arabia is restarting its East-West pipeline and that negotiations between the US and Iran are progressing. According to Bloomberg, Brent crude put-option volume surged to a record 764,000 contracts as bearish sentiment mounted among traders.
AI 시장 분석
European stock markets opened higher, while Chinese AI stocks closed lower, including Alibaba and Tencent, following news that regulatory authorities launched a data security investigation. Gold prices fell to $4,335 per ounce due to concerns over tightening by the Federal Reserve, and crude oil recorded a sixth consecutive day of declines due to the restart of Saudi pipelines and progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations. Investors should focus on volatility management while monitoring diplomatic progress between the U.S. and Iran and the Fed's monetary policy path.
하락 영향
- AI — Chinese regulators initiated data security investigations into DeepSeek and Moonshot AI, causing Alibaba, Tencent, and others to decline, deepening regulatory risks across the sector.
- Crude Oil — Saudi Arabia proceeded to restart the East-West pipeline and progress was seen in U.S.-Iran negotiations, alleviating supply disruption concerns and causing crude oil prices to fall for six consecutive days.
DYAX 전담 분석
The Chinese regulatory authorities' launch of an investigation into the AI sector directly triggered a decline in the stock prices of major tech companies such as Alibaba and Tencent, dampening investment sentiment across Chinese tech stocks overall. In addition, Saudi Arabia's restart of the East-West pipeline and progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations eased concerns over supply disruptions, pushing Brent crude put option trading volume to a record high of 764,000 contracts and increasing downward pressure on crude oil prices.
A bullish scenario is that stabilization of oil supply resulting from a U.S.-Iran negotiation breakthrough will lower price pressures and revive expectations for Fed rate cuts, while a bearish scenario is that continued hawkish remarks from Fed officials will accelerate prolonged high interest rates and China's AI regulations will spread universally. Indicators to watch are U.S. inflation indicators and Brent crude futures and options open interest.
