China Shuns US Oil for Longest Stretch Since 2018
China avoided purchasing US crude for the third straight month — the longest stretch since 2018 — delivering a fresh blow to shale drillers already facing lower oil prices. The world's biggest oil importer bought no American crude in May, according to US Census data released Thursday, following zero purchases in both March and April as a trade dispute between the largest global economies roiled markets. The absence of Chinese buying sent US overseas oil sales tumbling to the lowest in two years.

China Market Update: Apple Ecosystem Higher On Foldable IPhone
CLN Asian equities were mixed, led higher by South Korea and Thailand. Hong Kong was off, as growth stocks underperformed, though growth stocks were higher in Mainland China. The Caixin Services PMI was 50.6 versus expectations of 50.9 and May's 51.1 as growth momentum slowed. Electric vehicle (EV) battery giant CATL gained +2.69% and most EV names were higher, less Li Auto, which fell -0.48%. June new energy vehicle (NEV) sales were 1.26 million, up +29% year-over-year (YoY) and +3% month-over-month (MoM), which brings the YTD total to 6.47 million units, which is up +38% YoY, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association. Mainland-listed Foxconn Industrial gained +10.2%, as the Apple supplier ecosystem and technology hardware overall rose on news of Apple's foldable iPhone coming next year. Meanwhile, the US' trade deal with Vietnam might also have been a factor, indicating China is well-positioned for the July 9th Trump Tariff Tweet bombs coming. Semiconductors outperformed after the US Commerce Department lifted semiconductor chip design software export restrictions. Baidu gained +0.77% after announcing 'Baidu Revamps Search with New AI Features in Its Biggest Overhaul in a Decade, Launches Image-to-Video Model Muse Steamer'. The demo looks great! Alibaba fell -2.93% and was today's most heavily traded stock by value in Hong Kong, as Goldman Sachs' China internet analyst lowered his price target to $150 from $158. Mainland investors were large net sellers via Southbound. Alibaba's $7 billion subsidy announcement from yesterday raises fears of a race to the bottom in food delivery, restaurant delivery, and instant commerce between Alibaba, JD, and Meituan. This will inevitably weigh on profitability, though buybacks could limit the damage to earnings per share (EPS). On Tuesday, the government sought to address this issue in E-Commerce, auto, solar, and lithium batteries. Several factors explain the recent weakness of the Hong Kong internet and Hang Seng Tech. Mainland investors were net sellers of Hong Kong today for the first time in weeks. Although Alibaba has been a net seller since May, Tencent and Xiaomi have been selling down all year. That money could be put back to work in mainland equities, which are lagging Hong Kong considerably year to date. Hong Kong's IPO frenzy requires funding as significant holdings are sold to fund IPO participation. On deck for a Hong Kong IPO is Apple AirPod maker Luxshare, which could raise $1 billion. We also have a few new 'hot' names listed publicly that have been on a tear lately, including Labubu doll-maker Pop Mart, Guotai Junan, and Laopu Gold. Also, the healthcare sector's strong performance is due to government policy support, deal-making, and biotech drug success. Nonetheless, the US stock rebound and the recent strong performance in South Korea might be pulling some funds away. The Big Beautiful Bill would eliminate the de minimis trade exemption, though tariffs ended it, which has been well telegraphed, leaving PDD's Temu E-Commerce platform exposed. The reality is that China stocks remain out of sight and out of mind for many global investors, despite the YTD outperformance versus the US. Chinese equities have continued to grind higher since they bottomed in mid-January 2024, though no one seems to know! Hong Kong's volume is nearly 50% from Southbound Connect, which indicates light foreign investor participation. I'm optimistic that the Chinese government stimulus should be filtering through to the economy and corporate balance sheets. While my patience is being tested, I am confident it will be rewarded! Per yesterday's move in Chinese solar stocks following a production cut, polycrystalline silicon, a primary ingredient in making solar cells, gained +2.14% following yesterday's 6.99% closing at 35,050. Futures on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange reached a YTD high of 43,188 on July 1st after hitting a low of 30,400 on June 25. My weekend homework will be to see if there is any correlation between the futures and solar stocks. The chart of solar giant Tongwei (600438 CH) and the futures indicate there is. Today, the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) spokesperson was asked if the US would send a trade delegation to China, but he didn't know. Could the US and China be making progress on their own Big Beautiful Deal? There has been chatter about a Xi-Trump visit as China is hosting a big military parade in Beijing on September 9th to mark the 80th anniversary of World War 2. We know President Trump loves military parades, while President Xi has often cited the American pilots of the Flying Tigers and their role in World War II. As my kids frequently remind me, no one likes to be told what to do. Are the recent Chinese government policies pivots on addressing overcapacity and raising domestic consumption for internal and external purposes? Trump frequently cites those two issues. There are highly speculative rumors that August's 4th Plenum could include government leadership and responsibilities broadening. There are signs, though nothing definitive yet. For those celebrating the 4th of July, have a great holiday! is a team effort, with Joe, Henry, and Cole getting a well-deserved day off. We hope you come back with all ten fingers on Monday!

Technology Buying Power Has Shifted - Here's What It Means
At Forbes Research we study how leadership, innovation and strategy are evolving in this era of rapid digital transformation. One area undergoing major change: enterprise technology purchasing. As companies scale AI across the enterprise and technology touches every function and role, new questions have emerged: Who actually decides what technology companies invest in - and has that changed? What role do enterprise purchasing committees play today, and what objectives are guiding their decisions? To explore these questions, and others, we conducted the Forbes Enterprise Technology Purchasing Report, which surveyed more than 1,000 global executives across various functions. All respondents are involved in decision-making for technology purchases. Our research finds a major shift in purchasing influence underway. Five years ago, most technology decisions were owned by the CIO, even as departments like marketing and HR gained budget authority. Today, the landscape is far more complex. Technology has long outgrown its roots as a back-office function. It's now the foundation of enterprise strategy, shaping how organizations operate, compete and grow. Today's technology investments signal where organizations are headed, who holds influence and how leaders are thinking about risk, growth and accountability. This year's survey makes it clear that the stakes are higher than ever, shaped by economic uncertainty and the accelerating pace of digital transformation. As a result, technology purchase decisions are increasingly shared by both technology and business leaders. This distribution of responsibility highlights the importance of governance, alignment and cross functional leadership. Leaders across the enterprise recognize that smart technology investments build resilience and future-proof their organizations. While only 14% of companies reported double-digit growth in tech budgets in 2024, 57% expect to exceed that threshold in 2025, with artificial intelligence and machine learning leading the way. But it's not just about how much companies are spending, it's about who is making these decisions and why. We've observed several shifts: The Rise of Business-Led Tech Investment & Committee Driven Decision Making Today, 59% of technology purchases are led by IT departments, but in just three years, the balance is expected to shift, where 53% of technology purchases will be driven by business units, with IT accounting for 47%. This shift is about more than who holds the budget, it also reflects an evolution in technology strategy. Technology purchasing decisions are not made by a single individual. Committee approval is now the top deciding factor for tech investment. The data show Technology Acquisition Committees that organizations have multiple technology acquisition committees. In this year's survey, 60% of respondents say they have multiple committees based on lines of business, and 60% report having multiple committees based on technology types. All respondents confirmed they have a technology acquisition committee in some form. Regional differences are striking. In North America, 72% of organizations have business-unit based committees compared to 66% with technology-based ones. Business-led purchasing committees are 21% more common in North America than in EMEA, and 26% more common than in APAC. This suggests a strong alignment between tech investments and outcomes like growth, customer experience and innovation - areas often owned outside of traditional IT - for North America based decision makers. In conversations I've had with C-suite leaders across industries, it's clear this shift is well underway. Technology strategy is a team sport—one that demands shared language, urgency and accountability. Future Proofing: Cybersecurity, Regulations and the Economy Enterprise leaders are under pressure to future-proof their organizations against a convergence of external forces. Of these, cybersecurity stands out as the most urgent and complex challenge. In our survey, 83% of enterprise technology buyers cited increased cybersecurity threats as their top external factor shaping tech purchase decisions over the next five years. That concern is showing up in budget priorities: cybersecurity is the second-highest planned investment area for 2025 following only AI and machine learning. As organizations adopt more advanced technologies and automate critical workflows, cybersecurity is at the center of brand reputation, regulatory risk and boardroom accountability. The bar is high: 84% of business leaders strongly agree that data privacy and security are essential criteria in tech purchasing decisions. Leadership Lessons from Tech Accelerators To understand what sets the most effective leaders apart, we examined a cohort we call 'Tech Accelerators'. These are CIOs and CTOs at companies with 5%+ in year-over-year revenue growth. This group represents 5% of the research sample. Their leadership approach is collaborative, confident and focused on growth. Compared to their peers, Tech Accelerators are: ● 20% less likely to say they lack a clear technology strategy roadmap. ● 10% less likely to say they have difficulty integrating technologies into legacy systems. ● 7% less likely to say there is difficulty aligning the technology value proposition with overall business goals. What is the impact? These leaders enable their organizations to build competitive advantage by fostering cultures of innovation. Their agility – rooted in clear priorities, and fast, aligned decision making – positions them for growth. In an environment defined by accelerating AI innovation, rising cybersecurity threats and economic volatility, enterprise leaders face pressure to adapt in real time. The most innovative leaders are using technology to drive growth and long-term resilience. That's what the future of leadership looks like. One force increasingly shaping these decisions, and deserving closer attention, is sustainability. I'll explore that in a follow-up.
