What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Thursday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB) stocks are trading lower due to China's escalating property crisis and concerns about a potential debt default by Country Garden Holdings. The US's AI technology embargo on China and the intensifying Israel-Gaza conflict are also negatively impacting market sentiment. Country Garden has not updated investors on its debt servicing status, and a $15.4 million coupon on a $500 million bond remains unaddressed. Meanwhile, home prices in China continue to decline.
