17:44<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tApple Reportedly Cutting Production Orders for iPhone Air, Hiking Production Orders for Other iPhone 17 Models<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Apple (AAPL.US) is significantly cutting production orders for iPhone Air, but simultaneously increased orders for other iPhone 17 models, as the series' overall strong sales proved resilient against the ongoing tariff war and a weak smartphone market, according to Nikkei Asia.

The production plan adjustments reflect both the lackluster reception of the iPhone Air outside China and unexpectedly strong demand for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro models. As a result, Apple is maintaining its overall production forecast for the entire lineup at 85-90 million units.

12:26<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tHKEX Ba Shusong: Fundamental Logic of Global Asset Allocation Changes; Gold Becomes 2nd Largest Global Reserve Asset<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The original global economic growth model is no longer sustainable, and the fundamental logic of asset allocation has changed, commented HKEX (00388.HK) Managing Director cum Chief China Economist, Ba Shusong, at a forum.

With the global economic growth slowing and traditional asset yields drifting lower, relying solely on beta returns is insufficient to meet investors' return targets, he said.

He believed that the rise in gold and Bitcoin prices is due to deep concerns over the fading purchasing power of fiat currencies, closely tied to the de-dollarization process.

The share of the US dollar in global reserves dropped from 60% in 2000 to 41% in 2025. So far, the total global market cap of gold has topped US$27 trillion, rendering it the second largest global reserve asset.

The Economist mentioned that AI is an innovation at the level of an industrial revolution, profoundly changing the underlying logic of socio-economic operations. The beneficiaries of AI are more concentrated in specific industries and among tech elites.
