[00:00:13] Asian stocks decline as the tech rally loses steam and oil prices [00:00:17] stabilize. [00:00:18] of Meanwhile, new US curves on [00:00:20] of Chinese AI transceivers deepen global tech divisions and [00:00:24] drone strikes targeting Russia's top online marketplace are disrupting [00:00:28] supply chains and threat. thousands of small businesses. [00:00:32] Hello, I'm with the Business News here on TRT [00:00:34] Worlds. [00:00:47] Asia Asian markets were mostly down on Thursday with tech stocks back under pressure [00:00:51] after four-day rebound. South Korea's heavy tech heavy [00:00:55] cosby led losses [00:00:57] of slipping 4.5% dragged by SK. Samsung [00:01:01] Electronics and Soul Semiconductor. In Japan Soft Bank group [00:01:04] dropped 4% while chip equipment Maker Tokyo Electron [00:01:08] fell more than 5% and Taiwan's [00:01:11] of TSMC (the world's largest contract chipmaker) was also [00:01:14] 1.6% lower. The pullback follows a week session [00:01:18] on Wall Street overnight which saw shares of SpaceX and [00:01:22] ADM stumble after their quarterly earnings. As Magnificent [00:01:26] Seven stock struggled the Dow Jones rose to a fresh all-time high. [00:01:30] for a third straight session. Meanwhile, oil traded in [00:01:33] tight range as [00:01:34] a Iran and Oman [00:01:37] of of reached an agreement a shipping route through the street of Ramus, fueling expectations of increased [00:01:41] energy flows through the critical waterway. Brent Crude held [00:01:45] below $80 a barrel, its lowest level in [00:01:48] of three weeks. Earlier I [00:01:51] of spoke to Milad [00:01:52] of Azar in Beirout. He's a market analyst at XCB. He [00:01:56] says that despite the recent drop in Asian stocks, the tech sector. [00:02:00] remains strong, we saw the the [00:02:03] first [00:02:05] of break that space x and ABM took [00:02:08] a little [00:02:10] of bit of it because [00:02:11] of the disappointing result after that we saw last [00:02:14] night sands and the semiconductor [00:02:17] sectors and wester western digital [00:02:21] disappoint the market again that's why we saw this downturn [00:02:25] in the Asian market and especially in the [00:02:29] uh market and the South Korea market, we saw SK [00:02:32] Hinux, Samsung and other companies going into [00:02:36] the red because of those results, we can see that it's [00:02:40] more than profit taking, more than the deterioration [00:02:44] of of of the basics of this [00:02:47] sector right, and South Korean chipmakers in [00:02:50] particularly have been most vulnerable recently, what does that signal [00:02:54] about investor [00:02:55] in confidence in the very stocks that have led the AI driven market rally this [00:02:59] year? [00:03:02] of Yeah, it's normal after every boom, there's a bust a little bit, we [00:03:06] can see that first [00:03:08] of the year, crospy took a very long term of a bullish [00:03:12] momentum after that it very normal to get some retracement [00:03:16] before continuing this bullish momentum, at the end [00:03:20] we can see that the inflation [00:03:23] in a way or another is weighing on those stocks, but at the end [00:03:26] this sector [00:03:27] of is still [00:03:28] in a good position to continue this bullish momentum [00:03:32] at the long term and despite weakness in the [00:03:35] of magnificent 7 and major tech names, Dow Jones hit another [00:03:38] record high on Wednesday, is the US market [00:03:42] seeing a broader uh sector rotation away [00:03:46] from technology into traditional [00:03:48] industries? yes, this [00:03:52] is very good question, in the last few weeks we saw some [00:03:56] revaluation [00:03:57] of the AI company, the tax sector ' and we saw [00:04:00] that the data from the US, the real economy is [00:04:04] still doing well from the ISM non [00:04:07] of manufacturing to another ISM manufacturing, all the [00:04:10] data are saying that the US company still [00:04:13] strong, the US sorry economy is still strong, [00:04:17] so on the long term we can see that the investor are rotating from [00:04:21] the AI sector that need some revaluation to the [00:04:25] real world sector and the real [00:04:28] manufacturers. Right, and meanwhile, Iran and Oman have said [00:04:32] they've reached an agreement to secure shipping through the straight of Romas, [00:04:36] but Crude is still holding at around $80 a barrel. Does [00:04:40] this suggest traders remain unconvinced that the lower [00:04:43] geopolitical tensions will translate into lasting increase [00:04:47] in global oil supplies? Yes, [00:04:51] we can see even if we see a real some agreement, it's a [00:04:55] short-term agreement at the end between Oman [00:04:57] of and Iran, we did not see the... finish [00:05:00] of the war between Iran and the US, there's a lot [00:05:04] of misunderstanding about this [00:05:08] agreement and this negotiation, so what we can say [00:05:12] here that... the investor, no, they are not really convinced that [00:05:16] the market will be uh, like before the [00:05:19] war, [00:05:20] we can, even if the world stop after two days, one week, we need [00:05:24] more than six months to regain the production, to [00:05:28] regain the export level before [00:05:31] war. china has retaliated against the latest [00:05:35] us tariffs announced by President Donald Trump two weeks ago, it's [00:05:39] imposing export controls on US made drones and sanctioning [00:05:43] six other companies, saying the US has harmed China's legitimate [00:05:47] rights and economic interests. Mr. Boss [00:05:49] reports. Traffic here [00:05:53] a US port continues as usual, but shipments from [00:05:57] China may soon become less frequent. That's after Beijing [00:06:01] announced retaliatory measures, just days after the US imposed [00:06:05] fresh duties on China and 59 other countries. The [00:06:08] US says the countries on the list are those accused of violating labor. [00:06:13] for China's officials a step too [00:06:15] far. China's position on [00:06:19] China US economic and trade issues is consistent [00:06:23] and clear. We oppose all forms of unilateral tariff [00:06:27] measures, tarif wars and trade wars are not in the interests [00:06:31] of any party. But China has now imposed more export [00:06:35] controls than US drones, their components, and related technology. [00:06:39] They've also imposed counter measures on six US businesses. [00:06:42] including biotech company applied DNA sciences and [00:06:46] geoscience research firm stratum reservoir. China says those on [00:06:50] the list support US sanctions related to Shinjang. They've [00:06:53] also said Washington is willfully seeking to suppress Chinese [00:06:57] companies. Last year the US-China tariff war continued [00:07:01] escalate month by month. What began as baseline tariffs of [00:07:04] 20% each incrementally got higher. The US began with a [00:07:08] tariff in February which it described as punishment forfense. [00:07:12] flow into the US with China responding on US agricultural [00:07:16] goods. The peak the tariff war was in April with Trump [00:07:20] announcing what he called liberation day, hitting China's goods with [00:07:23] 125%. China then counted, [00:07:27] imposing 125% duties on all US [00:07:30] imports. Eventually, on [00:07:32] May 14th, both nations agreed in Geneva to reduce [00:07:36] reciprocal surcharges. Washington is yet to respond to this [00:07:40] latest Chinese move, but there are fears. [00:07:49] As the United States and China race toward technological [00:07:52] self-sufficiency, the world is witnessing the emergence of two [00:07:56] increasingly separate AI and technology supply [00:07:59] chains. The US is draffing a ban on Chinese-made optical [00:08:02] transceivers for American AI data centers. They act [00:08:06] as high-speed connectors between AI chips, enabling the [00:08:10] massive data flow needed to. train and run AI [00:08:13] models. Companies in the US, Japan, Europe and [00:08:17] Taiwan are leading the market. China is scaling up [00:08:21] fast, but still depends on foreign technology for top tier [00:08:24] components and equipment. Washington is steadily [00:08:28] expanding restrictions to block China from accessing [00:08:32] critical strategic technologies like advanced AI chips, [00:08:35] semiconductor manufacturing tools, robotics, drones and [00:08:39] next generation telecommunications hardware. to slow down [00:08:43] Beijing's technological progress. TRT World's [00:08:47] Abdul Wahab AUB joined me earlier, he says the US ban on [00:08:51] optical transceivers is aimed at boosting domestic [00:08:54] self-sufficiency in the AI data center [00:08:57] market. Silicon Fortenics is the [00:09:01] next big thing in AI uh infrastructure build [00:09:04] out, is the next bottleneck basically, because uh [00:09:08] just to put in context, as data center rapidly grow and [00:09:12] the advanced AI chips uh go into hundreds of millions and [00:09:16] eventually to billions, the uh transformation the data, the [00:09:20] communication between these chips is crucial [00:09:23] because so far has been done by coper, [00:09:27] that's why coper prices have skyrockets recently, and now but that's [00:09:31] not enough because that burns lot of energy, lot of um and the [00:09:35] models become less efficient, so with this new technology [00:09:39] with the now light is going to be the communicator. between [00:09:43] tokens, between informations on chips, and this is [00:09:46] that's why it's so critical uh for both countries uh on this [00:09:50] now US, Japan and Taiwan are leading in this, so US [00:09:54] trying this uh new uh let's say bottleneck [00:09:57] trying to have a leadership and trying to prevent China from [00:10:01] reaching it uh at least trying to gain time on this, and of [00:10:05] course short term is going to increase fast uh the prices of data [00:10:09] center build out in the US, but long run the... [00:10:13] thinking of us is that as much as possible we [00:10:17] delay china have access into this, we going to keep [00:10:21] dominating the sector, so how long will it take for? [00:10:25] to achieve complete supply chain independence across critical hardware [00:10:29] manufacturing, well so far the [00:10:33] both US and China are lot intertwined basically, [00:10:36] it looks like both of countries are creating their [00:10:40] own indigenization let's say the [00:10:44] AI critical infrastructure so because that's [00:10:47] crucial to better models to better robots to [00:10:50] better satellites tomorrow and all other [00:10:54] components. but uh so far uh China uh [00:10:58] both countries b are leading China is leading uh massively on [00:11:02] rare earth which is critical on everything build out like tech [00:11:06] from EV to chips to everything is leading about 80% [00:11:10] on humanoid robot so far at this stage but [00:11:14] China United States is ahead on uh [00:11:18] most advanced chips to 2 nanometers chips to [00:11:22] designing them and these photonics uh trans [00:11:26] photonics which as just mentioned before, so both [00:11:29] countries are trying to create their own ecosystem, vertically [00:11:33] integrated ecosystems, but it's far neither country [00:11:37] to uh fully uh reach independence into [00:11:40] this, and as the US expands sanctions across [00:11:44] these technologies, what does the growing division [00:11:48] mean for allied tech markets across Europe and [00:11:51] Asia? well, that's everybody. [00:11:55] is concerned about this, because as technology, as [00:11:59] we see, indigenization the AI infrastructure [00:12:02] continues, both countries now are really [00:12:06] dependent into each other, so we going to mostly see the [00:12:10] next cold war, tech cold war 2.0 where [00:12:13] other countries like Europe, Taiwan, South Korea and the rest the [00:12:17] world is going to force somehow to choose [00:12:20] which uh, which AI or [00:12:23] which... the going to use, whether it's going to be [00:12:27] US or Chinese one, and that's of course going to increase [00:12:30] cost of transportation, cost of building data [00:12:34] centers, cost of chips itself, so it's going to uh [00:12:37] pass over these costs on companies, which of course these [00:12:41] companies are going to pass on to the consumers, so who using [00:12:45] them and who pays for tokens spent on generating AI [00:12:49] or tomorrow on agentic ai at the same [00:12:53] time, so tech farms looking to expand [00:12:56] overseas have been turning to Hong Kong to raise money, test their [00:13:00] products and build credibility. firms flocking to the city's [00:13:04] capital markets have helped drive the busiest start to the year for [00:13:08] IPOs in half decade, but some Chinese companies are still [00:13:12] facing barriers when looking for new trade overseas. Laura [00:13:15] Westbrook reports from Hong [00:13:17] Kong. This Chinese [00:13:20] tech firm is hoping their smart blackboard is the future [00:13:24] for. rooms, it's one the artificial intelligence products [00:13:28] made by voice recognition [00:13:30] company ifly tech. around 40 schools in Hong Kong have already bought [00:13:34] their product and now it wants to expand further [00:13:37] overseas. we think it is very good opportunity for [00:13:41] us to go global because the standard of Hong Kong is very close to [00:13:45] an international standard. the firm is targeting markets in southeast [00:13:48] Asia and the middle east. we think that [00:13:52] these countries is that we can't see the demands [00:13:55] and we can see they are economies fast [00:13:59] growing uh and we have very good relationships in term in terms [00:14:03] of geopolitics so that's very important as well. partly [00:14:06] state-owned ifly tech relies on domestic chips. it was put [00:14:10] a us blacklist in 2019 for its alleged role in [00:14:14] the surveillance of minorities in Shinjang, effectively barring the [00:14:18] company from buying advanced US chips. one of Hong Kong's [00:14:22] great advantages is its proximity to the mainland, also [00:14:26] there are freeer capital flows and access to professional [00:14:29] services. what has been different over the past few years [00:14:33] is that the slower nominal growth in the Chinese economy [00:14:37] basically has pushed firms to go more [00:14:41] overseas to hunt for profit. tech firms based in mainland [00:14:44] China have recently been flocking to list on the Hong Kong Stock [00:14:48] Exchange. Hong Kong is a free market compared to the Mainland [00:14:51] Chinese exchanges where there are stringent capital. controls, [00:14:55] the city is benefiting from Chinese companies looking to raise money [00:14:59] here to expand abroad. This is supported by policies [00:15:03] from both local regulators and regulators on the mainland. [00:15:07] While Beijing is encouraging companies to expand abroad, [00:15:10] it is also tightening scrutiny of overseas investment, [00:15:14] particularly if there are national security concerns, especially in the [00:15:18] fields of tech data and talent, so it's not all plane sailing for [00:15:22] Chinese firms moving beyond Hong Kong. If you look at the [00:15:26] US or European markets, they are [00:15:29] imposing various screening uh [00:15:33] over incoming investment, particularly related [00:15:37] to... companies involved in deep technology, [00:15:41] um, AI, quantum, computing, [00:15:44] semiconductors and tying all those investment to [00:15:48] national security, data protection and so on. [00:15:52] As the tech race heats up, Chinese firms like IFlytech are [00:15:56] calculating where they position themselves in increasingly [00:16:00] polarized geopolitical climate. Laura Westbrook, TRT [00:16:04] World, Hong Kong, weeks of extreme. Heat and [00:16:07] dry weather have left two of Europe's most important rivers facing [00:16:11] severe water strats, with economic consequences for industries [00:16:15] ranging from German chemicals to Italian ceramics, [00:16:19] as Tulai Kalon has all reports. Europe's [00:16:23] Ryan rivers are becoming a growing business risk. In [00:16:26] Germany, the Riina has fallen to near record lows after weeks [00:16:30] of dry weather. Stretching 1,230 [00:16:34] km across Western Europe is Germany. main commercial [00:16:38] artery, carrying hundreds of millions of tons of coal, [00:16:42] crude oil and grain every year, but falling water levels [00:16:46] mean vessels can carry only a fraction their usual [00:16:49] cargo. with normal water levels a rhine barge [00:16:53] can carry around 500 containers, currently that capacity is down [00:16:57] to just 20%, meaning only 100 containers, that leaves [00:17:01] 400 containers sitting idle somewhere, while the 100 that can be [00:17:05] transported become much more expensive to ship. In Italy, [00:17:09] the Poor River is also running low. The Pour plain [00:17:13] is one of Europe's most concentrated manufacturing regions [00:17:16] and Italy's agricultural backbone. Water [00:17:20] shortages here don't just hurt farms, they hit factories [00:17:24] too. The setia, one the Po's main tributories, [00:17:27] runs through the heart of Italy's water intensive ceramics [00:17:31] industry. Manufacturers rely heavily on water to [00:17:34] grind raw materials and clean equipment. [00:17:38] Geographic concentration, that is, the industrial cluster effect, is the [00:17:42] most important characteristic of ceramic manufacturing. Over [00:17:46] 90% of tile production is concentrated within 20 square [00:17:50] kilometers, enabling companies to form synergies in water [00:17:54] recycling, waste recycling and technology research and [00:17:57] development. But the machinery, textiles and [00:18:00] pharmaceuticals have different water quality requirements and the [00:18:04] cost of new equipment remains a financial b'. for [00:18:08] smaller companies, water recycling systems and waste water [00:18:11] treatment equipment are not widely adopted among small and [00:18:15] medium enterprises, because they require significant capital [00:18:19] investment, infrastructure investment and sufficient construction [00:18:23] space. two rivers, two countries, one shared [00:18:26] problem, europe's drought is turning water shortages into [00:18:30] direct economic costs. as extreme weather becomes more [00:18:34] common, investing in alternative transport and [00:18:45] Let's take a look at some other stories we're following: new US tariffs will hit [00:18:49] $7.4 billion dollars of Singapore exports with roughly a [00:18:53] third of shipments facing a 12.5% duty. [00:18:57] Washington introduced the measures over forced labor concerns targeting [00:19:01] products like chemicals and optical equipment. Singapore [00:19:05] says it found no evidence of forced labor in. exports, but warns the [00:19:08] restrictions could hurt global supply [00:19:11] chains. Australia posted a trade [00:19:15] surplus of $1.4 billion dollars in June after deficit [00:19:19] in May. the surprise recovery was driven by nearly 10% [00:19:23] jump in exports led by stronger shipments of metal or [00:19:26] and coal. but analysts say Australia's trade [00:19:30] position is still weakening as the long run commodity boom [00:19:33] begins to fade and alphabet. [00:19:37] is reshaping its AI leadership with deepmind chief Demis [00:19:41] Hasabis becoming the company's chief [00:19:44] scientist while stepping back from day-to-day operations. [00:19:48] He says the move will let him focus on long-term AI research and [00:19:52] scientific breakthroughs including drug discovery. This [00:19:56] reshuvel comes as Alphabet faces intense competition [00:20:00] from Open AI and Anthropic emits delays to its next [00:20:04] major AI release. Recent drone. tags on [00:20:08] logistics hubs used by Russia's largest online retailer, [00:20:11] Wildburies, have disrupted operations and forced the company [00:20:15] to redirect shipments. The company [00:20:17] is now expanding its logistics network into neighboring Kazakhstan, [00:20:21] but analysts say thousands of small businesses that depend its [00:20:25] warehouses could also take a hit. Desha Chanishover [00:20:28] reports from Moscow. For thousands of [00:20:32] small businesses, online shops are the sensor their entire [00:20:36] operation from housing and logistics to deliveries. Maxim [00:20:40] Papov sells a wide range of goods through Wildburies, which is widely seen as [00:20:44] Russia's answer to Amazon. He says drone attacks have [00:20:47] exposed how vulnerable small businesses can be. [00:20:57] We are lucky that we stored only a small share of our goods at [00:21:01] marketplace warehouses, we know how to adapt, plus we don't [00:21:05] have heavy credit burden, that will help us lot, those who had [00:21:09] 80 to 90% their goods destroyed and bought that [00:21:12] inventory with borrowed money are in very difficult [00:21:15] situation. For many businesses, even a brief disruption can [00:21:19] create serious. cash flow problems with inventory trapped inside damaged [00:21:23] warehouses, sales stop, while storage fees, supplier payments [00:21:27] and other operating costs continue to pile [00:21:29] up. small and medium-sized [00:21:32] businesses could suffer the most because their entire [00:21:36] business model depends on infantry turnover. [00:21:40] many bought their goods using borrowed money, and if they can't [00:21:43] maintain the sales volumes they originally planned, they may [00:21:47] struggle to repay those loans. The impact extends [00:21:51] beyond salaries. Rerooted shipments means thousands of independently [00:21:54] operated pickup points are seen few deliveries and lower customer [00:21:58] traffic, but there are now plans to build additional warehouses in neighboring [00:22:02] Kazakhstan and Belarus and strengthen security to make supply [00:22:06] chains more resilient. This could affect the range of [00:22:10] products available on the marketplaces and push of prices for some [00:22:14] goods, but it won't fundamentally change the platform economy. [00:22:17] Online marketplaces remain Russia's. dominant retail [00:22:21] sales channel, and so we're more likely to see [00:22:24] redistribution of sales than a collapse the system. [00:22:28] analysts say Russia's well established trade links with China could help [00:22:32] replace many low cost imported goods, limiting longer term [00:22:36] disruption for consumers. recent drone strikes come a time [00:22:40] when companies are already facing high borrowing costs and higher [00:22:43] taxes, so any prolong disruption could add further pressure to one of [00:22:47] Rush's fastest growing sectors. [00:22:54] and earlier I spoke with Olga Krazniak, associate professor at the high school [00:22:58] of economics in Moscow, she says it's too early to put a [00:23:02] price tag on the disruption, but small and medium-sized businesses face [00:23:06] growing risks as the war continues. [00:23:10] It's still hard to see how this painful for [00:23:14] small and middle size businesses, but uh this platform [00:23:18] will be indeed one. the biggest one retail [00:23:21] platform in in Russia, but also need to understand [00:23:24] that the sellers goods, they redistributed in [00:23:28] many uh different store houses, few them been [00:23:32] destroyed, but not all them, and of [00:23:35] course it cannot be denied some negative impact on small [00:23:39] businesses, but at the same time businesses always have a certain [00:23:42] risks especially considering that Russia a situation of [00:23:46] war with Ukraine and with its western. [00:23:50] partners [00:23:50] so and [00:23:51] in this case yes some risks [00:23:53] are inevitable and does Russia have enough [00:23:57] alternative logistics capacity if attacks on major hubs [00:24:01] continue uh well this indeed is the [00:24:04] biggest one but not the only one we have uh [00:24:08] different uh platforms uh which do the same but will [00:24:11] be um the annual revenue by the way it's [00:24:15] 75 billion dollars so it's one the biggest [00:24:19] platforms. but at the same time we understand it's a private [00:24:22] business and the founder of wild be one the richest [00:24:26] person in Russia is far as I can see and in this case [00:24:30] well high risks are imposed on this business but at the same [00:24:34] time I do not believe that the logistics and the delivery of goods [00:24:37] will be somehow destroyed or severe [00:24:40] severely impacted by this drone [00:24:43] attacks and could expanding into neighboring countries like [00:24:47] Kazakhstan actually protect Russia's domestic? retail supply chain from [00:24:51] ongoing infrastructure attacks? well, do not believe so it [00:24:55] will would have certain negative impact on the Russian [00:24:58] retail, but it is understandable that the founder of [00:25:02] wildbrist Tatyana Kimshi wants to minimize the risks and [00:25:06] of course she tries to uh maybe to use alternative [00:25:09] platforms, alternative territories like Kazakhstan, but it's private [00:25:13] business and she is in her own right to expand it towards [00:25:17] Kazakhstan, but I do not see [00:25:20] huge negative impact on the sellers and the buys like [00:25:24] ordinary people in Russia because of some store houses being [00:25:28] destroyed and could physical disruptions [00:25:31] become inflation problem if fuel goods reach [00:25:35] Russian consumers? well I do not think [00:25:39] so that it would cause some inflation so the [00:25:43] inflation can come from from different reasons [00:25:46] and following few weeks uh this energy... [00:25:50] prices indeed we had it and because this shortage of [00:25:54] gasoline of of oil of course it's somehow [00:25:57] increased the the price for logistics but now we [00:26:01] overcome this crisis, energy crisis and uh, [00:26:05] if some inflation would come, it just only from logistics [00:26:09] and from the price for gasoline, but it's not [00:26:12] about the infrastructure of store houses of wild [00:26:15] be. and that's the business news, bye for [00:26:18] now. [00:26:24] sharp to the point, round table shuts out the [00:26:28] noise and gives you the detail. John Kerry told roundtable [00:26:31] poland. has we're here in Berlin.
