European and Asia investors are speaking by raising by the United States. They have smoked money into the global support fund that except US market. This UPTICK has occurred after the US president of Donald Trump Back to the White House. And most flows came in the past three months. This is a big reversal for these types of funds. They are not famous for many years, because the Wall Street has experienced big gatherings for the last decade. But now, investors, investors are concerned that Trump’s tariffs can harm more important than the market.

The most expected IPO of the years live with its hype. Catl, Creator of Chinese battery, with absolutely stone of the first day in the market. It increases 16 percent in Hong Kong’s show. Arjun Neil Assim is our Asia’s financial financial makers and followed the catl list. Hello, arjun. Hello. So tell me about the catl and all the expectations to run into registration.

Arjun Neil Unsim
Therefore, the catl is the largest power battery producer in the world. If you drive Tesla, electric BMW, Ford, Mercedes, has the best opportunity in catl. They also built the battery maintaining energy. It is a Chinese company. It is already listed in Shenzhen already, but the cat list was long awaited in Hong Kong. The market has rocky in the past three years, but recently lived in another because of the Chinese company in the second match.

Sonja Huton
And who are some investors interested catl?

Arjun Neil Unsim
Therefore, Cornerstone investors, which are the investors that are the time investors that take part in the IPO before the Instead and a certain time. These are a different bunch. They also included investment units supported from AGNelli family, who you may know from Ferrari. You have one US property manager, Oaktree, Sinopec, Sinopec, Vensed wealth fund. So it was a mix of strategic and financing investors.

Sonja Huton
And of course, this is the CATL display in Hong Kong. What’s the importance of choosing that market over, says, the United States?

Arjun Neil Unsim
You know, there are many politics of politics that swim around cat list. There was an increase in reviewing more than Chinese companies listed in the United States, you know, exceed the national security. So you are among the Republican Council of the Republicans call the United States, such as JPMorgan and Bank of America stepped out of this item. They certainly do not do that, but it will only show that even the capital market activity. I think that the choices in Hong Kong is proof that the Chinese authorities want to grow catl like a catl truly must use basis.

Sonja Huton
Ok, so the Chinese company is trying to play it safely by tracking near the potential geagolitical climate. But what is Arjun, what is the catl of the launch on all registration at this time?

Arjun Neil Unsim
Well, that’s a good question. I think there are two reasons why this is a beautiful day for Catl. First of all, this is about to arrive, you have America – China Déttente in the Trade War was motivated on April 2. Ideas that Beijing and Washington do not go attract global economy. And the second, we have when the global investors are considered our heat. And the ability to buy Chinese companies around the world in the part of the fast concentrated technology, both storage energy and storage of energy for more investors.

Sonja Huton
That is the truth of the FT Neil. Thanks, Arjun.

Israel is facing pressure from other countries to allow more assistance in Gaza and stop its growth. On Monday, Britain, Canada, and France reminded them to treat Israel if it’s unchanged. Subsequently stopped talking to Israel. It comes to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a new offense in Gaza. FT NERI Zilber is reported on this, and he has joined me from Tel Aviv.

Neri Zilber
Hello, good to come back with you.

Sonja Huton
Good to have you. So starting, Neri, tell me Netanyahu said in the last few days. What position is he in?

Neri Zilber
So, Netanyahu, early this week, put three major but different positions. Top, he is continuing and continuously expanding military offensive in Gaza to Hamas. And we see it on the ground, five division of Israel and the armored vehicles moving into Gaza. He wants to continue with military offenses until all win, including all restoration of the Gaza tab. Second, he has been canceled and allowed to have some humanitarian assistance into the Gazalands early this week. That is even, according to Him, because of international pressure. So Israel allowed to have some help into the Gaza after nearly two months of enclosure and surroundings. And then three, almost a dispute, there is a negotiations in Qatar for temporary stops and pause.

Sonja Huton
Now, I have mentioned earlier west some western countries have to threaten if Israel continued to help this and not threaten anything.

Neri Zilber
We’ve already seen on Tuesday. The UK has set up about seven-west penalties and individuals and individuals, missing assets, and travel and camps. UK also took a very exciting step, which gives the title here in Israel, freeze in the transforming free trade agreement between the UK and Israel. We also believe that the French government is re-evaluating or at least a threat to evaluate the support of all Israel. And so those countries are at least this is now making those threats.

Sonja Huton
What about the United States? What kind of pressure makes Israel end up in the war?

Neri Zilber
So that is a very interesting question. So far, for external occurrence, it seems to be Israel also supported by other military and other seniors. And thus in humanitarian assistance issues, you saw the move and you have stress by trump management. But it’s not clear for me that Trump will stop or force Israel to stop its military offense. For Israel, there was only a power of one foreign power, and that is the United States, especially under the United States. If he turned to Israel, that could be a decision. But hinder, I do not believe Netanyahu to be a cow or accept even Europe’s pressure.

Sonja Huton
Neri Zilber wrote about the war of Israel, Hamas for FT. Thanks, Neri.

Neri Zilber
