U.S. crude oil prices rose slightly to around $69 per barrel, despite a bearish market outlook, with global supplies expected to exceed demand by over 1 million barrels per day next year.

Despite recent challenges, Alibaba Cloud showed resilience with a 6% growth, while overall stock performance has been volatile, currently trading below $100.
Asian markets are poised for a slight positive open, with the Nikkei and ASX showing gains. The USD/JPY continues to rise, supported by a bounce off its 200-day moving average, while the Hang Seng Index has fallen to a six-week low amid bearish pressures and uncertainties over US trade policies. Upcoming economic data from China will be crucial in assessing the effectiveness of recent stimulus measures.
China's manufacturing sector is rapidly adopting automation to combat rising labor costs and a shrinking workforce. Companies like Tusk Robots and Zongwei are leading the way, providing training and support to ensure ease of use for their sophisticated machines.
