Morningstar analyst Chelsey Tam said China's data center construction for government and state-owned enterprise AI workloads may reduce demand for Alibaba's public sector computing systems. She lowered Alibaba's annual cloud revenue forecast by 10% starting in fiscal 2030, when the buildout is expected to be completed. Given that Alibaba has very little business in the United States, the impact of U.S. legislative threats against the company should be limited. Morningstar lowered its fair value estimate for Alibaba's ADRs by 7% to $241, but said the valuation was still low. It added that concerns about the loss of delivery business and rising computing power costs are exaggerated.

CNN analyst Kevin Liptak: Angry U.S. President Trump said the ceasefire agreement he signed with Iran three weeks ago is "over." What exactly this means in practice is unclear. Trump, who last month warned of an "economic disaster" if the war continued, remains under political pressure to end the conflict. The team led by US Vice President Vance was previously tasked with urging Iran to make technical concessions in limiting its nuclear ambitions within a 60-day deadline. However, progress in these negotiations has been slow, The main focus is on the implementation of the memorandum of understanding signed by Trump at the Palace of Versailles on June 17. The mediators, led by Pakistan and Qatar, will now almost certainly be racing against time to try to get the agreement back on track. But on the other hand, Israel will have a completely different interpretation of Trump's remarks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been highly skeptical of Trump's attempts at diplomacy with Iran; he may view Trump's remarks as an opportunity to continue operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon or directly launch military operations inside Iran.
