That’s the view of Tony Roberts from the Invesco Fund. Interviewed this week, Roberts was reported via Bloomberg as saying that China’s big tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent are “just too cheap.” This call comes as the latest Chinese export data shows an unexpectedly large fall of 7.5% y/y, prompting hopes of more stimulus from the People’s Bank of China via a rate cut.
Alibaba Group is a multinational conglomerate and one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies, based in China. Jack Ma founded the business in 1999, and it has since developed into a major force in many facets of the digital economy.
Is China about to get some extra stimulus from the People’s Bank of China? If it is, could Alibaba shares find a sudden gain? Seasonally, Alibaba shares have a stronger period ahead. Over the last 8 years, Alibaba has gained an average of 5.84% from June 2 to July 21.
So, will we see Alibaba gains on hopes of Chinese stimulus as we head into the weekend?
Major trade risks: The biggest risk here has to do with the recovery of China’s economy. A slower-than-expected pick-up could continue to disappoint analysts.

AUD/USD Price Forecast: Revisits monthly high around 0.6390 Premium
AUD/USD advances to near 0.6390 despite the escalating trade war between the US and China. US President Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all of his trading partners, except China. Trump’s tariff agenda has kept the US Dollar on the backfoot.
EUR/USD remains offered and below 1.1300
EUR/USD is feeling the squeeze, revisiting the area around 1.1280 as the US Dollar gains extra momentum on Tuesday. Mixed domestic data from Industrial Production and Economic Sentiment haven't done the Euro any favours either.
Gold embarks on a consolidative move around $3,200
Gold is holding its own on Tuesday, trading just above $3,200 per troy ounce as it bounces back from earlier losses. While a more upbeat risk sentiment is bolstering the rebound, lingering concerns over a deepening global trade rift have prevented XAU/USD from rallying too aggressively.
XRP, Dogecoin and Mantra traders punished for bullish bets, will altcoins recover?
