The rally in AI stocks \u2014 driven by excitement around Chinese startup DeepSeek\u2019s new low-cost AI model DeepSeek V3 \u2014 is fueling investor confidence even as markets continue to digest US President Donald Trump\u2019s 10% tariffs on USD 450 bn worth of Chinese goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Markets are shrugging off trade tensions \u2014 at least for now:<\/strong> Trump\u2019s latest trade move, while a clear escalation, was not as aggressive as markets had anticipated. Investors had largely priced in the 10% tariffs, with a stock market rally in Hong Kong this week offering some initial proof. \u201cChina\u2019s market will likely overlook the tariff disruptions, as DeepSeek is repairing risk appetite, while investors look forward to more proactive domestic policies,\u201d Kaiyuan Securities Analyst Wei Jixing told Reuters. The expectations that Beijing will roll out fresh stimulus measures, combined with bullish sentiment in AI and electric vehicles, has helped keep market nerves in check.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A mixed bag across stock indices:<\/strong> Aside from some profit-taking, overall declines following Trump\u2019s tariffs were limited. The CSI 300 and Shanghai Composite both dipped around 0.6%, while Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index lost 0.9% after a strong run. Tech-heavy Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong climbed more than 4% this week, hitting a three-month high, with the sector\u2019s biggest players rallying nearly 7%. Meanwhile, AI stocks in mainland China surged 3% as investors caught up to Hong Kong\u2019s earlier gains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PBOC holds firm in currency policy:<\/strong> The People\u2019s Bank of China (PBOC) set the CNY\u2019s daily reference rate at CNY 7.17 against the greenback, its strongest level since November, signaling that Beijing is not rushing to weaken the currency in response to Trump\u2019s tariffs. This contrasts with its response to tariffs slapped on the country during Trump\u2019s first term, when China let the currency slide to offset the impact of tariffs and improve the competitiveness of its exports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investors are staying cautious, but no panic yet:<\/strong> With policymakers bracing for prolonged tensions, there\u2019s hope that Trump\u2019s softer-than-expected tariffs and his upcoming talks with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping could provide room for negotiations. \u201cOn the whole, having a trade war is not what the market wants. But investors are less likely to panic this time,\u201d abrdn\u2019s Investment Director Elizabeth Kwik told the newswire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investors are also watching closely for any future moves by China\u2019s central bank<\/strong>, as further
