The European Union (EU) Commission has called on member states to expedite the replenishment of natural gas reserves in preparation for the upcoming winter, as global fuel markets face disruptions due to conflicts in Iran. According to RTHK, EU diplomats reported that the Commission emphasized in a closed-door meeting that while there is no immediate threat to the EU's gas supply, governments are encouraged to act proactively to address rising prices. The diplomats noted that the Commission advised starting the replenishment of gas storage facilities from April to ensure adequate reserves before winter. Since the conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran erupted at the end of last month, European gas prices have surged by over 70%. An EU Commission spokesperson earlier stated that the current gas supply in the EU remains stable, with the majority of imports coming from Norway and the United States, rather than the Middle Eastern countries affected by the conflict.

Between 2017 and 2024, Michael Smith from North Carolina orchestrated a large-scale music streaming fraud using AI technology. According to Ming Pao, Smith generated hundreds of thousands of songs with AI and managed approximately 1,040 cloud service accounts at the peak of his operation. Each account hosted 20 bots, totaling around 20,800 bot accounts. These bots, disguised as real listeners through VPNs, continuously streamed his AI-generated music around the clock. This scheme resulted in a daily peak of about 660,000 plays, allowing Smith to fraudulently collect over $8 million in royalties from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This case is considered the first criminal incident of AI-assisted music streaming fraud in the United States and possibly the world.

Google has unveiled a new AI memory compression technology called "TurboQuant," which reportedly reduces AI model memory usage during inference to one-sixth of its original amount. According to Ming Pao, this technology also enhances the speed of attention logic operations by seven times while maintaining model accuracy without any loss. Following the announcement, concerns arose in the market that this innovation could dampen memory demand, leading to a decline in the stock prices of major memory chip manufacturers. In South Korea, the stock prices of two leading chipmakers, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, fell by over 6% and nearly 5%, respectively. In Japan, memory chip company Kioxia saw its stock price drop by 5.7%. In the United States, Micron Technology and Western Digital experienced early trading declines of over 4%, while SanDisk's stock fell by more than 7%. These three major U.S. chip stocks had already seen declines on Wednesday.

According to Ming Pao, the company's stock fell by 22% at midday and continued to drop by over 10% on Thursday, closing at HKD 150.7. The trading volume exceeded HKD 153 billion, making it the most actively traded stock on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Several major investment banks have issued reports indicating that Pop Mart's earnings guidance fell short of expectations. The company is facing short-term pressures due to slowed overseas growth and a high base effect. Consequently, these banks have lowered their target prices for the stock. Notably, Bank of America Securities and Jefferies have both slashed their target prices by over 40%. Additionally, Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating to 'sell' with a target price of HKD 157, the most bearish among the major banks.

Hong Kong's stock market faced renewed pressure following two days of gains, as uncertainty in the Middle East and disappointing earnings from major blue-chip stocks weighed on investor sentiment.
