What happened in China this week:

1. China's AI and tech stocks followed their US counterparts down. The feverish rally has some investors starting to ask whether we have gotten ahead of ourselves.

2. Alibaba's reported US$1.5 billion bid for grocery platform Pupu, well above what Sun Art Retail offered, sparked fresh fears that Alibaba isn't backing down from throwing money at the battle against JD.com and Meituan.

3. Officials summoned Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Douyin and RedNote over their marketing practices, underscoring Beijing's concern about runaway subsidy wars.

4. Alibaba has been all over the headlines this week. On top of the ecommerce brawl, it was also among the new names added to the US Pentagon blacklist.

5. No surprise then that Alibaba stock fell 7% this week.

6. On the AI front, Tencent is turning up the pressure. It just raised US$4.6 billion through its largest bond sale in six years to fund a ramp-up in AI capital expenditure. Demand was overwhelming, more than double what Tencent was looking to raise.

7. And it wasn't just Tencent. The Chinese government has also been selling RMB bonds in Hong Kong to strong demand. The latest was a 15 billion yuan sale, the third such issuance this year.

8. On the IPO front, HQVT Tech is listing. It started as a hardware company, built its own multispectral AI large model, and that software business has since become the biggest and highest-margin part of the whole operation.

Step outside right now. Feel that heat? The palm oil market is feeling it too.

CPO futures are at RM4,400 to RM4,530 — and El Niño conditions haven't even fully arrived yet. When they do, upstream producers with young trees and low costs will capture almost every additional ringgit of price movement straight to their bottom line.

We went through 6 palm oil stocks across Bursa and SGX to find out which ones actually benefit.

Jardine C&C is being removed from the STI. The stock is down 19% year to date. Indonesia is doing most of the damage.

So is this a blue chip on sale with a 4.5% dividend yield — or a value trap dressed up in a cheap PE?
