Quick Glance: Effect of Lifting Restrictions on Hong Kong Home Prices

In March, Hong Kong saw an increase in home prices for the first time in almost a year following the lifting of property restrictions, leading to a revival in sales.

The price index for private domestic homes rose by 1.06% from the previous month of February, breaking a 10-month declining trend.

However, analysts express doubts about the sustainability of this growth as developers work to reduce excess inventory amid high borrowing costs impacting demand.

The anticipation of prolonged higher interest rates is expected to exert further pressure on the market, potentially causing home prices to decline by an additional 5% to 10% this year if the Federal Reserve's rate adjustments fall short of expectations.

Quick Glance: Hong Kong Real Estate Market: Price Recovery in March

In March, Hong Kong's real estate market saw a price recovery after the financial city lifted restrictions to boost the ailing market.

Prices dropped by 1.8% in the first quarter, following a 20% decline from their 2021 peak due to higher mortgage rates and a weak market outlook.

Nevertheless, prices are expected to remain subdued as property developers rushed to introduce new sales with discounts of up to 30%, attracting buying interest from the secondary market.

A recent report by real estate agency Ricacorp revealed that 30% of transactions for second-hand homes were sold at a loss in the first quarter, with this trend likely continuing into the second quarter.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

US government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V: Permissive licenses may be about to collide with geopolitics

Quick Glance: US Government Considers Restricting China's Use of RISC-V

The US Department of Commerce is reportedly considering lawmakers' calls to make it harder for China to use the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA).

RISC-V is permissively licensed, allowing developers to access the ISA for free and create proprietary or open source implementations for various applications.

The Commerce Department is now reportedly examining RISC-V to review potential risks and assess appropriate actions that could address concerns effectively.

China is already embracing RISC-V, with local chip design firms utilizing the ISA to develop desktop PC chips for Chinese schools and a server-grade processor for Alibaba Cloud.

Quick Glance: China's Bubble Tea Billionaires

The passion for bubble tea has produced at least a half-dozen billionaires in China in recent years, known for the sweet drink with sticky tapioca pearls.

On April 23, Sichuan Baicha Baidao Industrial Co., China's third-largest bubble tea chain, is set to begin trading and raise over $300 million in the largest Hong Kong listing since November.

The founders of the company, Wang Xiaokun and Liu Weihong, could have a combined net worth of $2.7 billion based on their 73% stake after the initial public offering, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The growing popularity of bubble tea also has the potential to create additional fortunes and is a phenomenon particularly beloved by Millennials and Gen Zers.

Quick Glance: Overview: Tesla Stocks Plummet, Europe Business Surpasses Expectations

World markets have brightened slightly this week, but Tesla is facing a critical earnings test, while Europe's business pulse has surprisingly been lively this month.

Following the worst week on Wall Street since 2022, relief from easing Middle East tensions helped stabilize the situation on Monday. The chip giant Nvidia made a modest recovery from losses as Big Tech megacaps gear up for quarterly earnings releases.

As the first of the 'Magnificent 7' Vanguard stocks, electric vehicle giant Tesla will report on Tuesday, having plummeted by a substantial 43% year-to-date and nearly 60% over the past two years amidst fierce price competition, declining EV demand, and governance/product concerns.

While Big Tech jitters define this month's market fluctuations, investors will closely watch the upcoming results for a clearer perspective.

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

Following the discovery of ethylene oxide in products from Everest and MDH in Hong Kong and Singapore, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has initiated the collection of samples of powdered spices from all brands across the country to assess their quality.

An unidentified official mentioned that India's food safety regulator has commenced sampling spices from all brands, including MDH and Everest, to ensure compliance with quality standards.

The official also highlighted that India's Food Safety and Standards Authority, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, does not monitor the quality of spices exported from the country.

Following an unusual finish at the Beijing Half Marathon, the top finishers were disqualified as three runners from Africa seemingly made way for a Chinese competitor to win.

Subsequent to the investigation, all four runners were disqualified for the pacemakers deliberately slowing down in the final two kilometers of the race, aiding He's victory.

Confirmation was provided by the organizers that although Xtep invited Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu as pacemakers, they were mistakenly registered as ordinary competitors.
