China regulatory easing hopes brighten outlook for offshore equity fundraising
Economic Times
·

Medial
Chinese tech companies are increasingly seeking offshore fundraising as investor sentiment improves due to Beijing's support and the rising popularity of AI startup DeepSeek. Recently, two tech firms raised $500 million, indicating growing momentum in equity sales. This revival follows sluggish fundraising due to economic challenges and regulatory pressures. High-profile meetings with leaders, like President Xi's with Alibaba's founder, signal softened approaches, boosting investor confidence. Consequently, more IPOs, notably in Hong Kong, and increased venture investments, particularly in AI, are anticipated.

The Indian rupee slightly weakened against the U.S. dollar, closing at 86.4075. However, the currency managed to hold above the crucial 86.50 support level, helped by a stronger Chinese yuan and exporter activity. Dollar sales by a large private bank and exporter activity supported the rupee's position. Global equity gains, buoyed by easing trade tension hopes following a U.S.-Japan deal, also contributed to the rupee's relative stability amidst ongoing trade negotiations.
