Investors Increasingly Viewing China Tech as AI Efficiency Trade

Dow Jones07-09 15:33

0733 GMT - Investors are increasingly viewing China tech as an AI efficiency trade, says Charu Chanana, Saxo Markets' chief investment strategist, in a research note. As investors question the cost of the U.S. AI build-out, China's AI development is known for cheaper models, open-source adoption and practical AI deployment, she says. The strategist reckons that the next phase of AI hinges on who can deliver useful AI at the lowest cost, which could put China at an advantage. Chinese AI models have been gradually adopted by global developers and enterprise. Still, Chanana notes that it's "not a clean China recovery trade," as consumer confidence is still fragile. Instead, as investors seek AI exposure beyond the crowded semiconductor trade, they may start to separate China macro risk from China AI potential, she adds.(sherry.qin@wsj.com)
