- Why China is desperate to ship cars outside of the country
At a Beijing dealership, salesman Li Ke said this autumn's peak car-buying season, known as 'golden September and silver October', has been the slowest of his 26 years on the job apart from the Covid-19 pandemic, with only two to three deals a week now. Buyers are holding back amid an unstable job market, a continued slide in property prices and the government's scaling back of incentives such as cash-for-clunkers subsidies and EV tax breaks. Passenger car retail sales in China reached 13.33 million units through September, down 21.7% from a year earlier, and the China Passenger Car Association expects full-year 2026 sales to fall 22% to 18.5 million vehicles. New-energy vehicle sales fell 12.8% from January through September, while fierce price wars have pushed Chinese carmakers to look overseas; auto manufacturing profits shrank 22.8% in the first nine months, even as overall industrial profits rose 15.5%.
- Economic Watch : China economy sustains growth as innovation , openness gain ground
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics, GDP grew 4.6% in the first three quarters of the year, with third-quarter growth at 4.5% versus 4.3% in the second quarter. The economy added 5.7 trillion yuan (about 851.9 billion U.S. dollars) in output in January–September, the largest rise for that period in five years. International observers said China's resilience, innovation and continued opening up help it navigate global uncertainty, while modern services, the digital economy and high-end manufacturing are emerging as growth drivers. Exports of integrated circuits rose 99.1%, electric vehicles 72.3% and lithium batteries 36.4% in the period. Rhys Roberts, national president of the Australia China Business Council, said the figures give grounds for confidence that China can meet its 4.5 to 5 percent full-year growth target.
- TSLA, CSIQ Stocks In Focus As China Tightens Solar Manufacturing Technology Exports
China has proposed adding 12 photovoltaic technologies to its export-control list, including polysilicon, silicon-wafer and advanced solar-cell manufacturing, with perovskite and tandem cell technologies facing outright export bans while TOPCon, HJT and back-contact technologies face restrictions. Tesla closed 2% lower on Friday and Canadian Solar fell more than 7%. A March Reuters report said Tesla had been in talks to buy about $2.9 billion of Chinese solar manufacturing equipment, and it plans to add 100 GW of US solar capacity by 2028. Canadian Solar's Indiana HJT cell plant, with a first phase of 2.1 GW, is particularly exposed, though Beijing says only technologies meeting specific thresholds are covered. TSLA is down 21% year-to-date and CSIQ is down 59%.

- How T7X Is Building the Infrastructure for a New Era of Capital Markets
The article presents T7X’s “native issuance” model, in which a token is part of the security’s authorized issuance from the start and a transfer agent maintains the official ownership record. Citing Pantera Capital research on 593 tokenized assets across 11 asset classes, it notes that 77.6% were “digital wrappers around traditional infrastructure” rather than securities in their own right. Wyoming law recognizes a “certificate token” that lets shares be represented on a blockchain, and T7X Equities serves as transfer agent for Tranquil Healthcare Fund I, a Tier 2 Regulation A+ offering of up to $75 million qualified by the SEC. The author argues that a token is only a real asset when its holder is recorded on the transfer agent’s books.
- Are the good times over for AI stocks?
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi reviews last week’s tech sell-off and asks whether the good times for some AI stocks may be over. He notes that AI demand and big tech’s cash balances remain strong, but urges caution about buying on dips ahead of Apple’s earnings this week and Nvidia later this month. Citing Truist’s Keith Lerner, he says tech stocks trade well below their 10-year average P/E ratio as earnings expectations have been cut, while the S&P 500 trades at about 19 times forward earnings. Historically, tech sell-offs have often continued until a clear all-clear signal appears.

The three-year bond pays investors an annual interest rate of 5.75% in physical gold. Proceeds will repay the old bond and fund a gold warehouse facility for leases in its Gold Yield Marketplace, growth opportunities, and working capital.

- Apple Shouldn't Be The Most Valuable Company In The World
Apple has reclaimed the title of world's most valuable company after Nvidia's shares fell in an AI-stock sell-off, but the article argues it faces several challenges. Component costs have risen sharply due to demand for AI data center chips, and according to Counterpoint, global smartphone shipments fell 20% year over year to their lowest level in 14 years. Apple's global smartphone market share reached 22%, yet overall unit sales still declined. The iPhone 18 lineup is expensive, with the two-screen Duo starting at $1,999. Apple will use a tailored version of Google's Gemini, but Gemini is already available on many other devices, which may limit the appeal of the integration.
