New York  —  Wall Street traders are grappling with sharp swings in precious metals, bitcoin is hovering at its lowest level since April and there are lingering nerves about technology stocks.

SoundHound AI’s stock is priced at its cheapest level in more than a year. SoundHound AI (SOUN 1.42%) is an interesting artificial intelligence (AI) stock.

香港會計師公會會長羅卓堅表示，在環球處於不明朗之際，香港在出口保持穩定增長支持、本地需求改善，加上資本市場表現強勁，支持到經濟保持韌性。但是與此同時，香港面對人口老化、持續的人材缺口，及消費模式轉變，致面對結構性改變，這影響到長遠競爭力及可持續增長。不過透過良好的財政管理、稅制及政策改革，及持續在創新、人材發展及可持續發展領域投資，相信香港可強化其國際金融中心地位、創新、科技及教育樞紐地位。 該會建議，為強化香港的地區總部經濟，宜對來港設總部的企業推動利得稅半稅8.25%優惠，維時5年。同時在支出內地企業走出去，建議當局給予該等在港成立地區總部的企業額外2年免稅期、租務津助及方級行政人員特別簽證安排。另亦可對該等企業的高級行政人員提供2+3年工作簽證安排，及釐清對港投入工作的稅務地位。 在鼓勵創新方面，該會認為需全面檢討對研發、知識產權等的稅務激勵措施，並且提出放寬知識產權扣減規則的避稅條款，容許將研發活動外判到大灣區的稅務扣減。另透過成立專門融資、財政激勵及稅務優惠，去加速具領導性的量子運算企業過來香港發展。在吸引家族辦公室方面，該會提出改進單一家族辦公室的稅務優惠，例如製定在管資產最低門檻為2.4億元，並將豁免稅務項目涵蓋藝術品。其亦提出提出離岸人民幣年金、保險及金融工具，甚至與內地機構著手研究內地機構投資者參與新股通。 為鼓勵人口增長及釋放銀髮經濟，公會提議將法定產假由10日增至16周，並對重投職場的65歲或以上退休人士，可按薪水提供125%的稅務扣減，甚而給予僱主2年扣減優惠。 其他報道 特斯拉人形機械人將亮相 料年產百萬個 二月開門黑 滬深三大指數齊跌逾2% 渣打維持今年本港GDP增長預測在2.5% 全球不確定性構成風險 恒指午後瀉逾800點科指插4% 金價失守4600美元 高息定存丨虛銀續推開戶高存息優惠 1個月定息最高15% 金管局已完成穩定幣發行人牌照初步審核 3月底前發牌 首批數目不多 黃仁勳：投資OpenAI千億美元從非承諾　將逐輪評估 首程控股投資華夏中核清潔能源REIT 恒指半日跌656點失守27000點 恒科指挫3.7% 黃金股續跌 紫金插水6.6％ 新世界瀉13% 新世界一度插水逾13% 上周澄清潛在投資者無意提全購 滬深三大指數半日跌逾1% 金管局：上周五匯豐手機銀行中斷初步不涉網絡攻擊 余偉文：今年香港經濟料穩步增長 樓市首數周交投活躍 金管局今年上半年擬容許全數28間零售銀行參與銀行間訊息交換 加強防騙   Source link

鞏旻提到，近數周中國電動車出口迎來多項利好消息，包括加拿大向中國電動車提供每年4.9萬輛的進口配額，配額內僅需繳付6.1%的最惠國關稅，不再徵收100%的附加稅；另中國與歐盟據稱亦接近就設定最低銷售價格達成協議，從而取消此前加徵的17%至35%反補貼關稅。瑞銀認為，中國近期下調或取消電池及光伏面板的增值稅出口退稅，亦有助於推動此類協議的達成。 在汽車進口方面，瑞銀認為中國具備進一步降低關稅的條件。鞏旻指出，中國上一次下調汽車進口關稅是在2018年，當時關稅由25%降至15%，當時燃油車佔市場份額約95%，中國品牌僅佔乘用車市場約40%。目前電動車已佔內地市場一半以上，中國品牌市佔率亦升至約70%，顯示行業競爭力顯著提升，可以取消關稅保護。他亦提到，歐盟與印度近期達成的貿易協定中，印度將於5年內把汽車關稅由110%大幅降至10%，認為中國亦可能考慮進一步下調現行15%的進口關稅。 就行業影響而言，瑞銀認為，若中歐協議進一步改善出口關稅環境，將有利中國汽車製造商。相較內地市場競爭激烈、利潤率偏低，最低售價承諾有助保障出口業務的盈利能力。若中國下調汽車進口關稅，短期內亦可為長期承受零甚至負新車銷售利潤的汽車經銷商，提供一定的利潤緩衝。隨着雙向關稅同步下降，瑞銀預期行業內的受益者或多於受損者。 其他報道 新地老將馮秀炎據悉因上海商場項目短期離職 逾半年無現身公司公開活動 調查：去年第四季中小企認為銀行收緊貸款佔比降 巴拿馬港口裁決 中國外交部：堅決維護中方企業合法權益 野村上調今年香港GDP增長預測0.6個百分點至3.3% 港股二月開局失守27000點 恒指跌611點 兩日累跌逾1190點 亞博館：馬術比賽吸大量家庭、年輕觀眾及海外旅客參與 花旗料2月賭收按年增4%至205億元 特斯拉人形機械人將亮相 料年產百萬個 二月開門黑 滬深三大指數齊跌逾2% 渣打維持今年本港GDP增長預測在2.5% 全球不確定性構成風險 恒指午後瀉逾800點科指插4% 金價失守4600美元 高息定存丨虛銀續推開戶高存息優惠 1個月定息最高15% 金管局已完成穩定幣發行人牌照初步審核 3月底前發牌 首批數目不多 黃仁勳：投資OpenAI千億美元從非承諾　將逐輪評估 首程控股投資華夏中核清潔能源REIT 恒指半日跌656點失守27000點 恒科指挫3.7% 黃金股續跌 紫金插水6.6％ 新世界瀉13% 新世界一度插水逾13% 上周澄清潛在投資者無意提全購 滬深三大指數半日跌逾1% 金管局：上周五匯豐手機銀行中斷初步不涉網絡攻擊 余偉文：今年香港經濟料穩步增長 樓市首數周交投活躍 金管局今年上半年擬容許全數28間零售銀行參與銀行間訊息交換 加強防騙 瑞浦蘭鈞盈喜 料去年扭虧賺最多7.3億人幣 阿里千問App斥30億推新春推廣優惠   Source link

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing looks like an AI top performer. The boom in artificial intelligence (AI) looks like it is just beginning and could continue to ramp up over the next decade. Famed investor Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest recently predicted that AI data center spending could triple from around $500 billion to $1.4 trillion by 2030.

Image source: Getty Images Will we see a stock market crash this month? It’s always possible. Shares can crash at any time, so it makes sense to be prepared. Sometimes, a crash comes out of the blue. That’s pretty much what happened on Black Monday in 1987, when automated trading strategies turned a dip into

There are plenty of strong growth and value stocks available to buy right now. If you’ve got $500 sitting around, there are shares of a few companies that you can scoop up. If you don’t have access to fractional shares at your brokerage, this task may be a bit more difficult. However, all of the

Sandisk stock increased 16x in the past year as demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure led to a severe supply shortage in memory chips and storage devices. Semiconductor company Sandisk (SNDK +6.85%) is one of the hottest artificial intelligence (AI) trades on the market. The stock led the S&P 500 higher in 2025, its price increasing

Image source: Getty Images Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock has a lot to answer for. Its last quarterly report, while beating on earnings and revenue, pushed software stocks into a bear market — this is typically defined as a drop of 20% or more from recent highs. Microsoft shares fell as much as 13% on Thursday. So

A couple of historical data points are painting a worrisome picture for Wall Street. For the better part of President Donald Trump’s first term in the White House, the stock market was unstoppable. By the time he left office in January 2021, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.36%), benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%),

It’s important for investors to understand the market’s current state. With an historical average annualized total return of 10%, the S&P 500 index (^GSPC 0.43%) has proven itself to be a wonderful tool for people to build wealth. However, its gains in the past decade have been significantly higher than most observers probably would’ve predicted.

These Vanguard funds won’t necessarily keep you from losing money if the market crashes. But they can help cushion the blow. Investors may be getting spoiled. The S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%) has delivered double-digit gains for three consecutive years, with returns in two of those years topping 23%. The idea of a stock market crash

Artificial intelligence is still a major market theme in 2026. With the first month of 2026 nearly over, there are some themes starting to take shape. First, investors are still skeptical that artificial intelligence (AI) spending is real. However, if you paid attention to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing‘s (TSM 2.65%) fourth-quarter results, then you know that

The recent share price drop in Microsoft stock looks like an overreaction. The share price of Microsoft (MSFT 0.74%) sank despite the tech giant reporting strong quarterly results for its fiscal 2026 second quarter. The drop appears to be largely attributed to higher operating expense guidance and its dependence on OpenAI. The stock is now
