Tencent Cloud Newsletter Featuring Gartner Research: Data+AI Enabled NextGen Data Intelligence Platform
HONG KONG, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 28, Tencent Cloud released a newsletter titled Data + AI: Build NextGen Data Intelligence Platform featuring Gartner® research, analyzing the pain points enterprises face in the era of generative AI. It also provides a comprehensive overview of Tencent Cloud's Data + AI product matrix which offers integrated solutions to help enterprises tackle these challenges. The newsletter points out that in the AI era, the focus of corporate competition is shifting from "model competition" to "competition for high-value data assets" as data quality has often become the core bottleneck in AI development. Enterprises urgently need to build systematic data engineering capabilities to unlock the potential of AI through continuous data iteration and optimization, rather than frequent model adjustments. The newsletter also cites how traditional data platforms face significant challenges in meeting the demands of generative AI. The challenges include large amounts of unstructured data lying dormant, disconnections between data and AI development leading to long deployment cycles, batch processing struggling to deliver real-time responses, inconsistent data standards across departments causing governance challenges and compliance risks, and business personnel highly dependent on IT for data access, resulting in slow responses. Gartner research shows that organizations deploying retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for their generative AI applications need access to unstructured data, which constitutes 70% to 90% of the data in organizations today[1]. By 2027, the IT spending focused on multistructured data management will account for 40% of total IT spending on data management technologies and services.[2] To address these challenges, the newsletter proposes that enterprises need to build a Data + AI integrated platform. The key capabilities of such a platform include the composability of data and AI technologies, end-to-end lifecycle development from data to AI and business integration, processing and enhancement of multimodal data, and unified metadata-driven governance and compliance. Among them, the composability of data and AI technologies has become a core capability. LLMs undergo generational upgrades every 3 to 5 months, and technologies such as vector search and lakehouse architectures are advancing rapidly. In this context, enterprises need to build a "pluggable" architecture. Meanwhile, the end-to-end lifecycle from Data to AI management has become a standard practice, involving data processing, model construction, and business integration. For example, in the financial industry, real-time data pipelines are used to integrate multi-source data, enabling rapid iteration of risk models and reducing the compliance response time from months to hours. Multimodal data processing capabilities define the upper limit of value. AI applications need to integrate structured and unstructured data to transform diverse types of data, such as text, images, and videos, into "intelligent fuel." For example, retail companies can integrate online and offline multimodal data to create 360-degree customer profiles, driving a more than 30% increase in precision marketing efficiency. In addition, the introduction of Agentic Analytics enables intelligent automated decision-making. For example, AI agents are used to identify and repair faulty data and dynamically track data lineage. Tencent Cloud is committed to building efficient and intelligent enterprise-level infrastructure for enterprises through the deep integration of data and AI technologies. The Data + AI capacity of Tencent Cloud takes data management as its core and integrates products and services such as AI computing power, data storage and analysis, data governance, security management, AI model training, and real-time decision-making. It provides an end-to-end solution from data ingestion to intelligent applications. According to the 2024 Gartner Data and Analytics Governance Survey, almost half of the respondents identify "difficulty in standardizing data across different departments/BUs" as among their organizations' top D&A governance-related challenges.[3] In practical implementation, Tencent Cloud WeData one-stop intelligent data platform enables enterprises to seamlessly manage the entire data-to-AI lifecycle. At the data layer, DataOps ensures real-time integration of multi-source data and automated data pipelining, while built-in intelligent quality monitoring intercepts abnormal data. This is combined with a unified semantic layer that consolidates enterprise-level metrics and data models. At the AI layer, MLOps integrates with popular machine learning frameworks to support the automation of key processes, from feature engineering and model training to online inference. Building on a unified data development experience, Tencent Cloud's ChatBI and data analysis agent significantly lower the barriers to data applications. Business personnel can automatically generate visual reports through simple conversations, increasing demand response speed by 10 times. Tencent Cloud WeData Agent, powered by LLMs, proactively executes tasks such as automatically fixing data pipeline issues and predicting storage bottlenecks to allow for early scaling, showcasing the practical value of agent-driven analytics. In the future, the Data + AI platform will evolve toward natural language interaction, AI-driven automated optimization, and deep integration with generative AI. Gartner forecasts that by 2028, 80% of GenAI business applications will be developed on organizations' existing data management platforms, reducing implementation complexity and time to delivery by 50%.[4] GARTNER is a registered trademark and service mark of Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates in the U.S. and internationally and is used herein with permission.

How Traders Capitalized on Oil's Extreme Price Swings
The oil market didn't disappoint rollercoaster-ride fans in the first half of the year with wild price swings and sudden dips and price hikes. U.S. trade policies, OPEC+ production policies, and the on-and-off war premium have all influenced market movements and traders' behavior and strategies at some point over the past six oil prices traded in a fairly narrow range in the first quarter of the year, in the low to mid $70s per barrel. Hedge funds and other portfolio managers expected a recovery in China's industrial activity and oil consumption amid continued OPEC+ production cuts. Traders bet on stronger global oil demand amid restricted supply, while the Fed signaled inflation is tamed and additional interest rate cuts would follow soon. However, the price of oil collapsed at the start of the second quarter. U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on all countries, threatened a trade war with Canada, America's top trading partner, and intensified trade pressures on China. The so-called 'retaliatory' tariffs on dozens of countries—now suspended—plunged the equity and oil markets into chaos. Speculators began to fear recessions, including in the United States. Investment banks elevated the risk of a U.S. recession to a base-case scenario. Traders bet on falling oil prices, amassing short positions. To compound the price slump, the OPEC+ group began in April what analysts believe is a strategy to regain market share and punish U.S. shale. The alliance led by Saudi Arabia has been consistently raising collective output by 411,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month, nearly triple the volume originally scheduled. OPEC+ continues to cite 'current healthy oil market fundamentals' to justify its production hikes. In reality, the group has been adding lower volumes than the baseline figure of 411,000 bpd, as some producers appear to now sincerely work to compensate for previous overproduction. Such is the case of Iraq, OPEC's second-biggest producer after Saudi Arabia. But non-OPEC Kazakhstan has been openly defying the group's targets as it continues to raise production from projects involving international majors such as Chevron. Kazakhstan's Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov confirmed in May that 'the republic has no right to enforce production cuts' on foreign operators. Despite Kazakhstan's production growth, the OPEC+ producers are adding fewer barrels to the market than the headline figure of 411,000 bpd. Compliance and compensation levels have been and will be key for traders and investors to guesstimate how much additional crude OPEC+ is really adding each month. For now, it looks like OPEC+ is going after market share and depressing prices for the U.S. shale producers. In the latest Dallas Fed Energy Survey out this week, 61% of executives expect their firms' oil production would decrease slightly from June 2025 to June 2026 if the WTI price remained at $60 per barrel. At WTI price at $50 per barrel, 46% of executives expect their firms' oil production would decrease significantly from June 2025 to June the slump in April and May, oil prices jumped in June to a four-month high at the beginning of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. Traders feared a disruption to oil and gas supply from the Middle East, and were speculating that the mother of all disruptions – an Iranian attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz – shouldn't be too easily discarded. With the start of the conflict, traders hiked their bullish bets on oil prices by the most since last October. At the same time, short positions – bearish bets that prices would drop – hit the lowest level in four months. The price spike was short-lived as the U.S. ended the conflict (for now) by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. The ceasefire added volatility to the market, which saw wild swings in June and traders followed the trends. Related: Brent crude surged by more than 30% in just three weeks, peaking on June 23, before nose-diving in its biggest two-day drop since 2022, erasing most of the gains from summer demand expectations and the Middle East risk premium, Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, said in a commentary early this week. The latest commitment of traders reporting week to June 24 saw a dramatic unwind across commodities, sparked by the sudden easing of Middle East tensions following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Hansen added. 'Crude oil took the biggest hit, with WTI and Brent futures tumbling 12%, while gold and silver also lost their shine as safe-haven demand faded.' Trend-following funds and managed money accounts reacted swiftly to the fading war premium, unloading 95,500 crude oil contracts and wiping out more than half of the previous three weeks' buildup. Brent saw the biggest unwinding in longs, with the net long position – the difference between bullish and bearish bets – slashed by 29%, Saxo Bank's Hansen noted. Going forward, traders will take clues from geopolitics and U.S. trade policies, the OPEC+ moves to add supply to the market, the Fed's dot plot of the pace of expected interest rate cuts, the strength (or weakness) of peak summer oil demand, and the ever-present but currently subdued war risk premium in the Middle East.
