On July 15, according to BIT (bit.com) market data, Apple’s stock rose nearly 3% during Wednesday's trading session, reaching a peak of $325.4, setting a new all-time high. This surge was primarily driven by the news that Apple Smart has completed the filing for generative AI in China and confirmed its integration with Alibaba's Qianwen capabilities. Alibaba's stock also saw a strong performance, rising over 6.6%, while Baidu's stock increased by more than 3.3%, reflecting growing market expectations for the integration of domestic AI ecosystems. In a related development, China's Cyberspace Administration released the filing information for seven mobile-side generative AI services today, including Apple Smart, Huawei's Xiao Yi model, OPPO's AndesGPT model, vivo's Blue Heart model, Xiaomi's Surge AI, Samsung's Galaxy AI, and Nubia's Doubao model. This marks the first time mobile-side AI model services have completed filing, as previous filings were mainly focused on cloud-based large models. Alibaba Qianwen will be integrated into Apple Smart, providing Chinese users of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS with services such as text and image understanding and content generation, allowing users to experience these features without switching between applications. In addition to Alibaba Qianwen, Baidu's AI capabilities will also be integrated into Apple Smart, marking the official rollout of Apple's localized AI strategy in the Chinese market.

Mehran Kamrava, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar, pointed out that the Iranian government is "deliberately" announcing the deaths of seven soldiers in a U.S. military attack, attempting to rally national sentiment and solidify public support during wartime. He stated that Iran is experiencing a resurgence of nationalism, with authorities emphasizing the soldiers' sacrifice for the country to maintain public support for the regime. This support is crucial as Iran is deeply mired in high inflation, high unemployment, and economic losses amounting to $270 billion. Kamrava believes that Iran is aware it cannot compete militarily with the U.S., and is therefore shifting the focus of the conflict to the economic realm, with attacks on shipping being a manifestation of this strategy. The U.S. may also respond with similar measures. He noted, "Revolutions cannot occur in hunger. When the public begins to worry about their next meal, basic safety, and housing, the U.S. may attempt to exhaust Iran's economic resilience." (Jinshi)

On July 15, Stripe, the world's largest private payment company, and U.S. private equity firm Advent International jointly proposed an acquisition of the established online payment giant PayPal, with an offer price of $60.5 per share, valuing the company at over $53 billion, which represents a premium of about 28% over PayPal's closing price on Tuesday. The deal is backed by approximately $50 billion in financing commitments from multiple banks. According to the transaction plan, Stripe and Advent will each hold half of PayPal's shares. Following the announcement, PayPal's stock price surged nearly 16% during trading, reaching $54.935, with a trading volume exceeding $2.1 billion. PayPal has not yet responded to the proposal, and it remains uncertain whether the deal will be finalized. The two companies had preliminary discussions in April but did not delve deeper. PayPal was once the undisputed leader in the digital payment sector, with a market value peaking at around $360 billion in 2021, but its market capitalization has fallen to about $36 billion in June this year due to competition from rivals like Apple Pay and Google Pay, now just one-tenth of its peak value. In contrast, Stripe's valuation reached $159 billion during a stock buyback in February, with a projected global payment market share of approximately 20.8% to 29% by 2025, second only to PayPal. Industry analysts point out that the core of Stripe's acquisition interest lies in the data and transaction flow value associated with PayPal's 434 million consumer accounts. Since 2025, the global fintech merger and acquisition transaction volume has reached $64 billion, an increase of 108% compared to 2024. Recently, FIS completed the acquisition of Global Payments' card issuing division for $13.5 billion, and Capital One finalized the acquisition of Discover for $51.8 billion, indicating a clear trend of industry consolidation.

On July 15, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated during the "Federal Reserve Semiannual Monetary Policy Report" hearing that recent inflation data does not perfectly reflect underlying inflation conditions. He noted that any central bank would be pleased when data moves in the right direction. One-off price changes do not necessarily lead to inflation. Regarding the impact of artificial intelligence, he expressed that in the short term, AI investment is beneficial for employment, and AI will trigger disruptive changes. AI investment could be very favorable for employment as the U.S. is building infrastructure. Waller mentioned that he is seeking access to a range of new AI models, and currently observes that the impact of AI on demand is faster than its impact on supply.

According to monitoring by Beating, Apple is seeking to acquire an artificial intelligence chip company. The self-developed M2 Ultra chip has proven insufficient for running advanced AI workloads, forcing Apple to rely on Nvidia.
