What stands out

Bloomberg reporters flagged a stress test for the artificial-intelligence-led rally as upcoming corporate earnings collide with a recent chip selloff, and that tension showed up in Asia markets where MSCI Inc.'s regional index fell. The clip pairs that market nervousness with the opening of the Bund summit in Shanghai, where global policymakers and economists gather to debate whether central bank policy and growth trends can steady risk assets.
