Jefferies global economist Mohit Kumar said
According to CoinWorld news, Jefferies global economist Mohit Kumar said that for long-term investors, a 5-year U.S. Treasury yield reaching 5% is a very attractive buying level. Kumar noted: "The problem is that most investors are thinking about the situation at the end of November or the end of December, because that is their year-end assessment point, rather than from a long-term investment perspective." He said that although elevated oil prices and concerns about fiscal deficits remain the main reasons pushing U.S. Treasury yields to stay high, the seasonal factor of the approaching year-end has also made investors reluctant to actively buy U.S. Treasuries, resulting in a lack of sufficient buying support in the market.

Daiwa: Confidence in Alibaba Cloud's profitability prospects increases, cloud revenue expected to grow over 50%.
According to a report from Gelonghui cited by Bijie, Daiwa has raised its confidence in the profitability outlook for Alibaba's cloud business, now forecasting that cloud revenue will grow by more than 50% year-on-year in the next fiscal quarter ending at the end of September this year. At the EBITA level, cloud business profits are expected to basically offset the losses of the AI lab as early as the third fiscal quarter, becoming an important milestone in the group's AI investment and coming faster than previously expected. The bank maintained its forecast of a 12% cloud EBITA margin for the next fiscal quarter, but raised its third fiscal quarter forecast from 12.4% to about 15%. Management expects capital expenditure to be about 200 billion to 300 billion yuan per year, with new capacity of about 2 to 3 gigawatts, which is expected to help reduce balance sheet pressure. The bank raised Alibaba's earnings per share forecasts for fiscal years 2027 to 2029 by 2% to 3%, reiterated its "Buy" rating, and maintained its target price of HK$180.
Riyadh International Conference opens with several energy giants withdrawing

Due to Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport being attacked four times in the past week by Yemen's Houthi armed forces, many international energy giants that had originally planned to attend withdrew from the conferences. The five-day World Petroleum Council Energy Conference opened on the 11th at a conference center about 10 kilometers from King Khalid International Airport. BP issued a statement that day saying that due to "travel disruptions," its representatives were unable to attend in person. According to a report by the UK's Financial Times, the chief executives of ExxonMobil of the United States, TotalEnergies of France, and Shell of the United Kingdom also chose to withdraw from the conference.
Bank of America maintains a "Buy" rating on Alibaba and raises its target price to $178.
Bank of America maintains a "Buy" rating on Alibaba and raises its U.S. stock target price to $178, while lifting its Hong Kong stock target price from HK$172 to HK$175, citing that the company's earnings improvement has not yet been fully reflected in its share price. The institution expects Alibaba's September-quarter revenue to grow 10% year over year, with adjusted EBITA of RMB 30 billion, above the market consensus of RMB 26 billion and the previous quarter's RMB 27 billion. Among this, cloud business revenue growth is expected to accelerate from 45% in the previous quarter to 52%, with demand growth from external customers approaching 55%. Bank of America expects that, as training efficiency improves, losses in the AI lab and application businesses will narrow from RMB 14 billion to RMB 11 billion, and it anticipates that starting in the December quarter, adjusted EBITA from the cloud business can cover AI business losses, driving the cloud and AI businesses from a loss of more than RMB 20 billion in fiscal year 2026 to gradually achieving break-even in the second half of fiscal year 2027.
