U.S. stock futures jumped on Monday after a muted day of trade on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading over 2% in premarket.
U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce</a> to pause the reciprocal tariffs on Monday and revised it from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;This comes after the White House and Chinese officials signaled significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">headway in trade negotiations</a> held in Geneva over the weekend.
The U.S. will maintain its 20% tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, keeping the overall tariff level on China at 30%. "We had very productive talks and I believe that the venue, here in Lake Geneva, added great equanimity to what was a very positive process,&#8221; said the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after the talks.
The U.S.-China joint statement also indicated Beijing&#8217;s agreement to suspend or remove all non-tariff countermeasures implemented since April 2, including sanctions on specific U.S. firms and export limits on crucial minerals, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3309975/china-us-reduce-majority-tariffs-after-first-round-trade-talks?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">to</a> the South China Morning Post.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.98%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 92.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After last week, 90% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported quarterly results, and the performance has been strong relative to expectations, said Brian Therien, the investment strategist at Edward Jones.
Seventy-eight percent have beaten analyst estimates, with an average upside surprise of 8.6%, he highlighted. Forecasts for first-quarter earnings growth of S&amp;P 500 companies have been revised higher to 13.2%, from 6.7% at the end of the quarter.
Performance has been broad, with eight of the 11 sectors forecast to report higher earnings year-over-year.
&#8220;Wider earnings growth should drive more balanced market performance across sectors, strengthening the case for portfolio diversification, in our view,&#8221; Therien added.
Charles Schwab said in a note that they are maintaining a neutral &#8220;marketperform&#8221; rating on all sectors, a shift it made in April after the White House announced broad-reaching tariffs on imports.
&#8220;Uncertainty about the ultimate level and timing of the tariffs has made it difficult to assert a view on which sectors might outperform or underperform the S&amp;P 500 index, so we are holding all sector ratings at Marketperform until we have more clarity on trade policy,&#8221; the note stated.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing JD.com's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JD.com's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.53%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About JD.com?

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday after two senior U.S. lawmakers called on the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist it along with other U.S.-listed Chinese companies.
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8d87d093-3fad-4ee0-af16-2f1e835ef286">Financial Times</a>, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) called on the SEC to delist it and 24 other companies because the companies have military links that make them a national security risk.
Some of the other companies include JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>).
Moolenaar chairs the House Select Committee on China, while Scott leads the Senate Committee on Ageing.
In the letters, the lawmakers wrote: &#8220;These entities benefit from American investor capital while advancing the strategic objectives of the Chinese Communist party . . . supporting military modernisation and gross human rights violations.&#8221;
Moolenaar and Scott argue that even if Chinese organizations seem commercial, they can still be exploited for harmful state objectives due to China's military-civil fusion policy, which mandates companies to hand over technology to the People's Liberation Army if directed by the government.
As of March 2025, there are approximately 286 total Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges.
BABA Price Action: Alibaba shares closed Wednesday down 3.47% at $123.23, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

On Friday, two senior U.S. lawmakers called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist 25 Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges, citing national security concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45105930/alibaba-instant-commerce-delivery">alleged military ties. </a>
The companies include Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), Hesai Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSAI#NASDAQ">HSAI</a>), BilliBili, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BILI#NASDAQ">BILI</a>), XPeng, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and Weibo Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WB#NASDAQ">WB</a>). The <a href="https://d1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net/production/uploaded-files/Congress%20SEC%20China-0ee0ba5b-d8af-4148-ae3d-c3e33bf120f0.pdf">complete list </a>includes 25 Chinese firms listed on U.S. stock exchanges.&nbsp;

The Details: Rep. John Moolenaar, chair of the House China committee, and Sen. Rick Scott, chair of the Senate committee on aging, wrote to SEC chair Paul Atkins arguing that China-based firms benefit from U.S. investor capital while advancing the strategic goals of the Chinese Communist Party, including military modernization and human rights abuses. 
The lawmakers claim that, despite their commercial appearance, the companies are ultimately used for state purposes due to China's military-civil fusion policy, and that the true extent of Chinese government control is hidden from U.S. investors.&nbsp;
They urged the SEC to use its authority under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act to suspend trading and force the delisting of companies that do not adequately protect American investors. 
Why It Matters: If Chinese companies are delisted from U.S. exchanges, investors could face several key consequences including increased volatility, particularly for funds with significant exposure to Chinese equities like the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>). 
If Chinese companies are delisted from U.S. exchanges, investors could also face forced selling, reduced liquidity, potential losses, and operational hurdles.

US Lawmakers Urge SEC To Delist Chinese Companies Alibaba, XPeng, Baidu & More

'US lawmakers urge SEC to delist Alibaba and Chinese companies'- Financial Times

In a strategic move,&nbsp;Alibaba Group Holding&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) has advanced the rollout of its rapid-delivery service, Taobao Instant Commerce. This accelerates the rivalry with&nbsp;JD.com&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>)and&nbsp;Meituan (OTC: MPNGY).
What Happened: The service, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45105930/alibaba-instant-commerce-delivery">initially slated</a> for a May 6 launch in 50 key Chinese cities, offers quick delivery of food, groceries, electronics, and apparel. The expedited launch, announced on Weibo on Friday, is a response to the increasing local demand for swift and cost-effective delivery, a vital component of urban living in China, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3308856/alibaba-launches-taobao-fast-delivery-service-ahead-time-challenge-jdcom-meituan?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=cm&amp;utm_campaign=enlz-china&amp;utm_content=20250502&amp;tpcc=enlz-china&amp;UUID=03787f75-eeb3-47ab-bf96-c3d147adf8af&amp;next_article_id=3308793&amp;article_id_list=3308856,3308793&amp;tc=3">reported</a> South China Morning Post.
Alibaba&#8217;s latest service aims to deliver&nbsp;online food orders and&nbsp;consumer goods in under an hour. This rapidity is facilitated by China&#8217;s extensive delivery workforce and the application of advanced algorithms in warehousing, mapping, and matching.
The new service—which spans categories like food, groceries, electronics, and clothing—represents an upgrade to Alibaba's original local delivery system, with order fulfillment managed by its food delivery arm, Ele.me.

Why It Matters: This move comes on the heels of Alibaba&#8217;s recent advancements in artificial intelligence. Earlier this week, Alibaba <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45057716/alibabas-qwen-3-launch-takes-aim-at-deepseeks-disruption-and-baidus-ernie-turbo-models">introduced </a>Qwen 3, its most sophisticated AI model to date, featuring hybrid reasoning capabilities.
This development is part of a larger trend of Chinese tech giants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/45015548/baidu-goes-aggressive-chinas-in-ai-price-war-with-alibaba-deepseek">aggressively investing </a>in AI to expand their market share. Recently, Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) lowered its AI model prices by nearly 80% to rival Alibaba and DeepSeek in China&#8217;s growing AI price war.
With consumer spending in China remaining sluggish, e-commerce growth has also decelerated, prompting major platform operators to intensify competition through consumer subsidies and enhanced services. Notably, Alibaba&#8217;s early launch of Taobao Instant Commerce underscores the company&#8217;s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance customer experience and stay ahead in the competitive market.
During Friday pre-market, ADR of JD.Com, Alibaba and Baidu climbed 4.6%, 3.97% and 2.68%, respectively, as Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that it is assessing U.S. trade proposals and is open for talks.

Alibaba Accelerates Taobao Instant Commerce Launch, Heats Up Rivalry With JD.com, Meituan

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading higher on reports indicating China's Commerce Ministry is assessing possible US trade talks.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) launched a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/e-commerce">new rapid-delivery feature</a> on its Taobao shopping platform on Wednesday to compete in China's fast-growing on-demand delivery market against rivals like JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Meituan. 
The new &#8220;instant commerce&#8221; tab appeared on Taobao's homepage in dozens of Chinese cities. It allows users to order a wide variety of products, including food, apparel, and footwear, and receive their purchases in under an hour.

According to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/alibaba-rolls-out-instant-commerce-feature-as-china-delivery-battle-heats-up-3f6e665a">report</a>, Alibaba confirmed the rollout of the rapid-delivery service, which leverages its food delivery arm Ele.me to fulfill orders, and plans to expand the service throughout China by May 6.
The rapid-delivery service is a significant step in Alibaba's strategy to integrate its online marketplaces with its delivery network and comes as competition heats up in China's on-demand delivery sector.&nbsp;
JD.com, for example, is aggressively expanding its own rapid delivery services and plans to hire tens of thousands of full-time riders. Meituan remains the dominant player with about two-thirds of China's food delivery market, according to the South China Morning Post.&nbsp;
BABA Stock Price Action:&nbsp; Shares of Alibaba Group were down slightly at $118.85 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Price Target

Citigroup Maintains Buy on JD.com, Lowers Price Target to $51

JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) shares are trading lower by 8.9% to $31.97 since Monday&#8217;s open. The stock has been volatile after China's Ministry of Commerce denied that any economic or trade negotiations are currently taking place with the United States, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis">casting doubt on recent optimism</a> surrounding a potential thaw in bilateral tensions.
What To Know: The ministry&#8217;s statement, which labeled reports of such talks as &#8220;unfounded,&#8221; directly challenges earlier signals from U.S. officials about a possible review of tariffs.
This development is particularly concerning for JD.com, one of China's largest online retailers, which operates a highly integrated supply chain network that spans from warehousing to last-mile delivery. 
JD relies heavily on imports of foreign consumer goods, electronics and components—many of which are subject to tariffs imposed during previous rounds of U.S.-China trade disputes. 
A prolonged standoff could not only raise costs but also dampen consumer demand, especially among middle-class Chinese consumers who favor premium foreign brands.
Investor sentiment had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970416/scott-bessents-china-de-escalation-scoop-delivered-to-wall-street-early-at-closed-door-event-2-2-trillion-in-gains-later-questions-arise-if-retail-investors-were">briefly improved earlier in the week</a> following comments by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and President Donald Trump about reducing tariffs, but the ministry's strong rebuttal now signals prolonged uncertainty.

Behind the Scenes of JD.com's Latest Options Trends

JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) saw its stock fall 3.6% to $32.39 Thursday morning following comments from China's Ministry of Commerce <a href="http://China Denies Trump's Trade Talk Assertion, Calls For Abolition Of 'Unilateral Tariffs': 'No Factual Basis'">denying any current trade negotiations</a> with the United States.
What To Know: As a leading e-commerce platform heavily reliant on cross-border logistics, consumer sentiment and global supply chain efficiency, JD.com stands to benefit significantly from tariff reductions or renewed trade cooperation between the world's two largest economies.
Hopes for a thaw in U.S.-China trade tensions had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970416/scott-bessents-china-de-escalation-scoop-delivered-to-wall-street-early-at-closed-door-event-2-2-trillion-in-gains-later-questions-arise-if-retail-investors-were">lifted investor sentiment</a> earlier in the week after reports of potential de-escalation, including remarks from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and President Trump hinting at tariff reviews. 
However, the ministry's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis">firm dismissal</a> of any ongoing talks shattered those expectations, raising concerns about prolonged tariffs on Chinese exports.
For JD.com, which depends on affordable imports, stable U.S. investor confidence, and a robust domestic consumer base tied closely to macroeconomic conditions, the lack of trade progress adds pressure. The company&#8217;s margins and cross-border sales could be further strained if tariffs persist.
