Daiwa: CN NEV Orders Climb 48% WoW; Most Brands Post Better Momentum

Based on weekly NEV order data, China's NEV market continued to recover in Week 43 (Oct 26 to Nov 1), with total orders growing 48% WoW to 207,000 units, Daiwa said in a research report. Order momentum improved for most major automakers, with 8 of the 10 tracked brands recording WoW growth.

At the brand level, LI AUTO-W (02015.HK) and XPENG-W (09868.HK) skyrocketed 840% and 240% WoW respectively, starkly outperforming the broader market, the broker noted. XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) (up 28% WoW), GEELY AUTO (00175.HK)'s Zeekr (up 17% WoW), Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) (up 14% WoW) and NIO-SW (09866.HK) (up 12% WoW) also maintained positive growth.

Standing in contrast, GEELY AUTO's Galaxy was the only brand to record a WoW downswing (down 3% WoW), while BYD COMPANY (01211.HK) was flat WoW. Looking ahead, upcoming new model launches and year-end promotional campaigns may further support demand, although competitive pressure remains intense and brand performance divergence is expected to last.

CN Clients Reportedly Get Only ~1% Supply of USD70B RTX Chip Orders Amid NVIDIA Capacity Crunch

Chinese AI developers are expected to receive only a small portion of the advanced NVIDIA (NVDA.US) chips they have ordered over the coming months, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported.

BABA-W (09988.HK), TENCENT (00700.HK), ByteDance and other Chinese AI and cloud companies have collectively ordered about 6 million Nvidia RTX Pro 5500 chips, but these companies are assumed to receive only tens of thousands of units over the next four months, or about 1%.

Although the US has prohibited Nvidia from selling its most advanced chips to China, the RTX Pro 5500 is not subject to restrictions. Sources said that the total value of orders so far is about USD70 billion based on a unit price of more than USD11,000 per chip.

Major Chinese AI developers forecast the first batch of several thousand RTX Pro 5500 chips to be delivered before the end of 2026, followed by another batch of tens of thousands around February 2027.

As Nvidia is predicted to expand production capacity, Chinese hyperscale cloud computing providers estimate they may receive about 700,000 RTX Pro 5500 chips by the end of 2027, sources divulged. However, Nvidia warned customers that capacity will remain limited for the foreseeable future due to product scheduling conflicts.

The company allocated more manufacturing capacity to next-generation products such as Rubin, and supply of the RTX Pro 5500 is expected to remain constrained.

Beyond enhancing the retail experience, XTEP further demonstrated its commitment to the local sporting community by donating RM20,000 worth of sports gear to Majlis Sukan Negeri Johor. The contribution aims to support local athlete development and race preparation by providing innovative sportswear and running shoes developed through extensive research to help athletes optimise their performance. This reflects XTEP's broader commitment to establishing strong local roots, empowering Asian runners and contributing to the sustainable development of Southeast Asia's running ecosystem.

The 600m² flagship store houses XTEP's complete premium running product lineup, including the newly launched 160X 8.0 carbon-plate racing series. Validated at the World Marathon Majors in 2026, XTEP's flagship racing footwear has proven dominant global competitive strength. Feng Peiyou, XTEP brand ambassador, set a new Chinese men's marathon national record with a time of 2:05:58 at the Tokyo Marathon wearing XTEP 160X professional racing gear. XTEP sponsored athlete Tebello Ramakongona claimed 3rd place and broke the official track record at the Sydney Marathon in the 160X 8.0 Pro, while fellow XTEP-sponsored athlete Kamohelo Mofolo also took 3rd place at the 2026 New York City Marathon in the same 160X 8.0 Pro — together verifying the series' elite-level performance on international premium race tracks.

Beyond empowering elite athletes, XTEP extends professional running technology to grassroots communities. As running evolves into a mainstream social lifestyle across Malaysia, XTEP adheres to the concept of national fitness, bridging high-end racing innovation with mass running scenarios. In May 2026, XTEP Malaysia established official partnerships with 2 local leading running communities, WIND RUNNER and PACEMAKER MALAYSIA. Leveraging the full product matrix including 260X and 360X series, the brand supports regular community training and offline gatherings, catering to both speed racing and daily jogging demands, and strengthening emotional connection within the local running community.

"Malaysia remains one of XTEP's most important strategic markets in Southeast Asia. Our continuous investment focuses not only on spatial expansion, but more on long-term localized sports empowerment," said Mao Yukang, General Manager of XTEP Malaysia. "The official opening of the 600m² Johor Bahru flagship and the youth sports donation initiative represent our persistent determination to integrate into local culture, activate regional running vitality, and deliver lasting value for Southeast Asia's sports development."

XTEP's localized expansion in Malaysia continues to accelerate. Following the opening of the Johor Bahru flagship, XTEP is set to launch 2 new retail stores at Kuala Lumpur Pavilion and IOI City Mall in the near future, expanding its total operational outlets in Malaysia to 13. By implementing the "retail + community experience" model, XTEP transforms offline stores from pure product retail spaces into localized gathering hubs for equipment selection, technique exchange and community interaction.

Rooted in the cross-border strategic gateway of Johor Bahru, guided by the global vision of "LET THE RUN BEGIN", XTEP unites world-class verified racing technology, localized community operation and long-term public welfare investment. Moving forward, the brand will continue deepening its Southeast Asian layout, empowering every tier of local runners with professional products and systematic community services, and steadily solidifying its leading position in Southeast Asia's professional running ecosystem.

About XTEP International

XTEP International is a global professional running brand focused on technological innovation, community sports development and long-term localized empowerment. Adhering to the brand philosophy "Make it Different", XTEP keeps empowering global runners with professional racing-grade products and sustainable public welfare investment.

State Street: AI-Related Investment Driven by Demand; Hard to See AI as Bubble

State Street Corporation (STT.US) Chairman and CEO Ron O’Hanley said it is hard to see AI as a bubble, as market demand is supporting substantial investment in AI technology.

He said the construction of new data centers is not being carried out speculatively, but is backed by real orders. Whether a bubble emerges will depend on whether AI becomes more efficient, making all the capacity currently under construction redundant.

Following the earnings release by Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL.US), some market selling may have already been inevitable. O’Hanley said some selling in the market may have been overdue, but at present the market does not appear to be experiencing disorderly conditions.

PIMCO CEO: AI Financing May Rise to ~USD10T Over Next 5 Yrs, Heading Toward Overheated Levels

PIMCO CEO Emmanuel Roman said at the Fifth Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit this morning (3rd) that AI-related financing could elevate to around USD10 trillion over the next five years and eventually reach overheated levels, compared with the approximately USD12 trillion size of the US bond market.

He said downside risks could emerge from rising US interest rates, war in the Middle East and a eurozone crisis, and the problem of excessive financing may then surface.

Blackstone Inc. (BX.US) President Jon Gray said at the same occasion that the current skepticism may be healthy, but stressed that the broader momentum of AI development indicates related investment will continue to increase, while demand for capital will also grow substantially.

He believed it would be a mistake to underestimate the upcoming productivity gains, as well as changes in consumer and corporate behavior.

Mr. Lee brings more than three decades of automotive industry experience.

"XPENG is a brand presenting new possibilities for the industry through innovative AI technology and a vision for future mobility. I am delighted to join this journey of change."

His remit will include developing sales and service networks, building strategic partnerships and strengthening XPENG's brand presence in the market.

XPENG's planned entry into South Korea comes as the company continues to deepen its international footprint this year.
