Xi's Price-War Campaign Creates a Buzz in China's Stock Market

(Bloomberg) -- For strategists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as well as money managers in Hong Kong and Singapore, an opaque term has suddenly emerged as the catchphrase for deciphering Chinese policy intentions and navigating the stock market. Singer Akon's Failed Futuristic City in Senegal Ends Up a $1 Billion Resort Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of? How German Cities Are Rethinking Women's Safety — With Taxis Philadelphia Reaches Pact With Workers to End Garbage Strike The term 'anti-involution' has cropped up in government documents over the past year, but gained prominence earlier this month when President Xi Jinping chaired a high-level meeting that pledged to regulate 'disorderly' price competition. It refers to efforts to root out China's industrial malaise, marked by cutthroat price wars and overcapacity that have hurt profitability in sectors ranging from solar, new energy vehicles to steel. Investors are hopeful that a more coordinated policy response to tackle the drivers of deflation is on its way, though Beijing hasn't yet released any plan. Analyst reports on the theme have flooded the market, while solar and steel stocks have rallied in July. Morgan Stanley strategists changed their preference to onshore shares from those in Hong Kong last week. 'One of the biggest issues that investors have investing in China is that of excessive competition,' said Min Lan Tan, head of the Asia Pacific chief investment office at UBS AG. 'It's actually a very positive development that top down the government is now recognizing it and directly saying that destructive competition has to stop. It's a powerful policy signal.' The Chinese term for involution, 内卷 (neijuan), literally means rolling inwards. In practice, it's used to describe a system of intense competition that yields little meaningful progress. Huge spending on building capacity has helped Chinese firms enhance their global standing. The nation's companies now dominate every step of the solar supply chain, while its EV makers have toppled Tesla's dominance. Yet, ending destructive competition has rarely been more important. Producer deflation is worsening, and trade tensions mean China can no longer unleash some of its overcapacity to other countries. 'With foreign markets closing off Chinese trade routes, part of the competition is forced to return to the domestic market,' said Jasmine Duan, senior investment strategist at RBC Wealth Management Asia. The campaign seems to be helping improve investor sentiment for the mainland market, where policy drivers have a stronger sway and industrial stocks have bigger weighting. The onshore CSI 300 Index has risen 2% so far in July, outperforming the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index after lagging it for most of the year. Solar stocks Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co. and Tongwei Co. have advanced at least 19% this month. Liuzhou Iron & Steel Co Ltd. has surged more than 50% while Angang Steel Co. has gained about 16%. Glass, cement and chemicals shares have also jumped. It's still early stages but if the reforms pan out, 'there'll be consolidation in China and there'll be slightly better pricing and margins, and there'll be better valuation,' said Wendy Liu, head of China and Hong Kong equity strategist at JPMorgan. Sectors that are likely to benefit include autos, battery, solar, cement, steel, aluminum and chemicals, she said. To seasoned China watchers, the current rhetoric recalls the supply-side reforms of 2015-2018, when a government-led push to cut outdated capacity in sectors such as coal and steel helped drive up prices in the following years. This time, however, key differences may limit the campaign's effectiveness. A decade ago, oversupply was mostly concentrated in upstream and construction-related sectors. It's become more pervasive today, encompassing the most promising industries of solar, EV and battery to downstream consumer sectors such healthcare and food. That point is illustrated by the intensifying price war among technology giants listed in Hong Kong — China's private sector leaders. Shares in Meituan, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Inc. have slumped more than 20% from their March highs as they jostle for delivery market expansion. 'This time the overcapacity is concentrated in industries mostly dominated by private firms, so the challenges are going to be greater than when SOEs ruled and could just buy up the private firms and shut them down,' said Li Shouqiang, a fund manager at Shenzhen JM Investment Management. Addressing the supply-demand imbalance will also require measures to reflate the economy by boosting consumption — a tall order the government has struggled to deliver on. For now, investors seem hopeful that a bigger supply-side reform is in the offing. Morgan Stanley strategists said sentiment has improved with the government's message, and added they now prefer A-shares over offshore ones. 'When senior policymakers change some policy tone, there should be some actionable items or something to follow through,' said Louisa Fok, China equity strategist with Bank of Singapore. It won't be a quick overnight fix, but it's 'definitely positive' that the government is aware of the problems, she added.

If you missed out on anything you wanted from Amazon, give Walmart's sale a look as many popular items are still discounted. Right now Walmart's sale has epic deals starting from $3.

Walmart is also offering up to 50% off essentials like washcloths, teeth whiteners, protein powder and more. And you can get back to college apparel, school supplies and dorm decor from $3.

Need a cheap pair of wired on-ear headphones? These Sony 'phones will do the trick. They're lightweight, sturdy and have 30mm drivers for bright, clear sound. And you don't need to take my word for it — these popular headphones have a 4.3 star rating based on customer check: $9 @ Amazon Wireless earbuds have come a long way, and now, you can get a solid-sounding pair of buds for under $25. While not all budget earbuds are up to par, the JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are an ace pick. They got a 4-star rating in our Jlab Go Air Pop review for their satisfying sound, 7-hour battery life and IPX4 water resistance rating. Light up your outdoor space at night with this set of string lights that are 100 feet long and include 50 bulbs. You'll want to spend all night under the stars with these lights that emit a soft white glow and will make a stylish statement hanging in your backyard or over your patio. Our JBL Go 4 review determined that this is the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker for those on a budget. Small enough to take traveling, it still packs enough performance to soundtrack small gatherings while bringing useful features like IP67 water and dust protection, and multi-point connectivity. It also comes in a variety of fun colors. This umbrella is the perfect addition to your backyard or patio. It provides optimal shade while adding some elegant style. The umbrella surface is UV-proof, waterproof and fade resistant so you can use it on both sunny and rainy days. This super-cute mini digital camera is a nice find with this discount. Our Fujifilm Instax Pal review said this device is extremely easy to use, and we had plenty of praise for its portable design. While you'll need to tether it to the companion app on your phone, it's perfect for taking fun, retro-style pictures. This is the biggest discount we've seen on the AirPods 4. We loved the Apple's earbuds in our AirPods 4 review, with their surprisingly effective ANC being a major a highlight. Transparency mode is a nice added extra. They sound pretty good, too, featuring a more open fit than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This newer model includes a USB-C charging case. The 2025 iPad features a larger 11-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A16 CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. The base model features 128GB of storage, which double the capacity of its predecessor. It's available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner and lighter design, faster charging and a new sleep apnea detection feature. Some other new key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. The device also features advanced health insights, including the ability to take an ECG anytime. Available in a plethora of fun colors, the Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) boast fantastic ANC and a crisp and balanced sound profile. In our AirPods Max review, we were thoroughly impressed by its luxurious design and feel, and we said its spatial audio technology was a "game-changer" for immersive listening. It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers good performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and very good speed. Smart TVs: deals from $88 @ WalmartWalmart has a massive sale on smart TVs. The sale includes TVs from brands like TCL, Hisense, JVC, and Walmart's own Onn brand. After discount, prices start as low as $88. Keep in mind that there are a few 1080p sets included in the sale. I recommend sticking with 4K resolution as the price difference isn't all that great. This 65-inch display has every app you could possibly want as well as plenty of ports for games consoles and more. If you're not familiar with Onn, it's Walmart's in-house electronics brand. We like this TV because it uses the Roku platform as its OS and it's a great pick for shoppers on an extra tight budget. The TCL QM6K is the perfect deal for a display upgrade. It offers a VRR feature that can push the TV refresh rate to 288Hz and leverages Dolby Vision IQ for sophisticated HDR support. It's a great TV for gamers and comes in a wide range of sizes at incredible prices. We gave it an excellent 4-star rating in our TCL QM6K Mini-LED TV review. One of the best Roku TVs on shelves has to be the Pro Series Mini-LED. This TV is a fantastic choice for those wanting excellent performance and simplicity. It delivers vibrant visuals, enhanced brightness and Roku's intuitive platform. Offering a premium experience at a lower cost, it's definitely a deal worth grabbing. Walmart is slashing the price of this folding Adirondack Chair. After this discount, this foldable, weather-proof design (it's constructed from high-density polyethylene lumber) is a steal. Reviewers rave these are easy to put together and are built to last for many summers to come. One buyer even notes it's "a very solid chair for the money!" This small outdoor conversation set is available for $190 off the regular price. Made of woven rattan, high-quality steel frames, and tempered glass table top, this adorable set will be the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a cocktail outdoors this spring. It also comes with seat cushions featuring an ergonomic design for extra comfort. Spend your leisure time lounging in comfort with this outdoor patio set that features one bench, two single sofas and a coffee table with a tempered tabletop. Made of a solid steel and rattan structure, the outdoor furniture is sturdy and durable. The spacious seating is covered with padded cushions that have removable and washable covers. Switch games/accessories sale: deals from $12 @ WalmartWalmart is offering big discounts on Switch games and accessories. The sale includes Mario and Zelda video games, controllers, gaming headsets and more. The Meta Quest 3S is already the best VR headset for the money, and now that it's just $249, the deal has just become all the sweeter. Expect the same performance as the pricier Quest 3, but with a smaller field of view and lower resolution. Other than that, expect to play a popular VR game right off the bat, and even more thanks to its 3-month Quest+ subscription. The Xbox Series S is limited to 1440p output, but still delivers fast loading, ray tracing, and high frame rates. It sports a GPU with up to 4 teraflops of output, 10GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for storage. (There's no disc drive).Price check: $329 @ Amazon The Ninja Creami has been making waves (scoops?) in the home cook world. We gave it 4 stars in our Ninja Creami review. We loved how easy it was to make delicious homemade ice cream. There's a huge range of recipe styles available, such as milkshake, froyo, and even gelato! And as if it couldn't get any better — the Creami is also easy to clean. Leave your spring cleaning to your digital assistant. The Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum features precision home mapping, powerful suction that makes it great for households with pets, and hands-free cleaning thanks to its Alexa/Google Assistant support. The 80V 21" is one of Greenworks' most popular mowers. It features a single lever, 5-position height adjustment and promises low-noise one-touch controls.

Hoping Bluesky shines, and the cesspool, X, sinks to the bottom

Under Musk's 'stewardship,' it has restored banned accounts, allowed blocked accounts to see the Tweets of those who blocked them, made links to news sites essentially useless, and has turned into a unmoderated free-for-all that benefits the worst of us. And speaking of worst, the worst thing of all happened Tuesday, when Grok, its AI chatbot and Musk's precious baby, shared a series of anti-Semitic posts and praised Adolf Hitler . I bring all of this up in a sports media column because the latest confirmation that is reprehensible coincided with Bluesky — a relatively new platform reminiscent of what Twitter was in its innocent beginnings — is prioritizing sports content to grow its platform, which currently has about 37 million participants. While announcing new notification settings this week, Bluesky used The Athletic — the once-independent sports platform that now doubles as The New York Times sports section — as the example of how the new notifications from preferred news sources work. Advertisement This confirms what Harry Packer , who heads Bluesky's sports efforts, told the website Awful Announcing in May. 'Sports is a top priority, to make that clear, I think it's probably the top priority for us, to be honest,' he said.'And our ambition there is simply to become the best place for real-time sports discussion.' Advertisement Building the sports connection is crucial, because there has been reluctance from many of the media members with the largest followings on X to give Bluesky a shake. While some prominent and socially conscious media members, among them ESPN's Mina Kimes and Bill Barnwell , and The Ringer's Howard Beck , have championed Bluesky and continue to use it frequently, the growth has come incrementally at best. More frustrating are those that gave it a shot initially, then reverted to X when the engagement — which I've found to be worthwhile and steady — wasn't what they were anticipating. It's too bad Twitter has been destroyed. It was a terrific reporting aide for journalists. It was fun. But those days are long gone. Grok confirming the site's Nazi underpinnings was the last straw for me. I'm done there and not going back. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, more sports folks will stop posting through it long enough to recognize the merits of the new place, where the skies are bluer and the worst of us haven't gotten in the door. Byers was a friend indeed Lyndon Byers was one of a kind. Grossfeld, Stan Globe Staff During his nine seasons with the Bruins, Lyndon Byers's fists of iron and gregarious personality made him a popular figure. That personality translated into a long second career in radio, where another characteristic — a heart of gold — became apparent even to those who did not know him personally. 'You told him that you were trying to raise money doing something somewhere, he would show up and he'd hang out for five hours with everybody and have a blast,'' said Greg Hill , WEEI's morning host, on Monday's program while paying homage to his friend Byers, who died July 4 at age 61. 'He might be late getting there, but he would have a great excuse. Nobody has a better excuse for missing work than LB.' Advertisement Hill and Byers worked together at rock radio station WAAF for 23 years, until Hill moved to WEEI in 2019 and Byers left the station. While Byers's second career was mostly sports-radio adjacent — he got his start on Glenn Ordway's 'The Big Show'' on WEEI, but was best known for his long 'AAF run — he still called in to Hill's current show from time to time. Co-host Courtney Cox captured the essence of Byers's personality and his ability to connect with just about anyone, noting that she did notknow him personally, but 'every time he called in, he made you feel like you've known him forever.' Hill said he had talked to Byers while his former co-host was in the hospital about a month ago. 'It's always a good lesson about making sure that you're always, when someone is not feeling great, that you're always checking in with that person because you just never, never know,' said Hill on Monday's show. 'He was a guy who was drafted in the second round by the Boston Bruins, and came here, and turned into more of a Bostonian than a lot of people who live here.' Ravech has hope for ESPN, MLB While chatting on a conference call Thursday regarding ESPN's Home Run Derby coverage (Monday, 8 p.m.), Karl Ravech reiterated what he told me in March: He remains hopeful that ESPN, which opted out of the final three years of its deal with Major League Baseball in February, will still have some sort of rights partnership with the league come next season. 'I went from reading about things that weren't happening [between MLB and ESPN] to reading about conversations that were going on,'' said Ravech, a Needham native. 'So that certainly would give me hope that there's a road or path to continuing the relationship. … I'm optimistic until I'm told not to be.' … Turns out the popularity of Caitlin Clark can even positively influence Boston sports radio decision-making. The 98.5 The Sports Hub has picked up Tuesday's WNBA matchup between the Connecticut Sun and Clark's Indiana Fever. Brendan Glasheen and Terrika Foster-Brasby will have the call, with tipoff set for 8 p.m. Advertisement Chad Finn can be reached at
