On June 12, Xinhua News Agency and its authoritative financial media focused on developments in many important fields.
In the economic field, foreign trade, asset management, stock market and new energy industry all show different development trends.
In terms of foreign trade, the steady growth trend continues and the export structure continues to be optimized.

In terms of export structure, the “three new” products such as electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics continue to lead the world; diversified markets are advanced in depth, with double-digit growth in ASEAN, the European Union, Africa, and Latin America, and the “circle of friends” for win-win cooperation is getting wider and wider.
From January to May this year, the total import and export value of goods trade was 20.68 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.3%.

Against the background of the overall correction of the market and the weakening of most theme sectors, hard-core science and technology assets have emerged from independent market conditions. Both the Science and Technology Innovation 50 Index and the Science and Technology Innovation Composite Index have bucked the trend and are in the red. Semiconductor materials, rare metals and other subdivided tracks have highlighted their anti-fall properties and have become the core thread in the weak market.
Institutional research reports believe that the short-term market may continue to fluctuate and consolidate.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is promoting interconnection, and Hong Kong stocks are accelerating their transformation into a new technological economy.

“Computing power collaboration” is opening up a new demand space for photovoltaics, energy storage and power grids, becoming a new engine to promote the high-quality development of the new energy industry. The deep integration of computing power and electricity may reshape the competitive landscape of the entire energy industry.
