Chinese e-commerce stocks surged following the announcement of a stimulus package aimed at boosting the economy. The People’s Bank of China introduced measures that cut key interest rates and reduced banks' reserve requirements, potentially releasing around 1 trillion yuan (over $140 billion) into the economy. Alibaba's stock rose 7%, Pinduoduo climbed nearly 10%, and JD.com increased by about 11%. Despite the immediate gains, experts caution that these measures may not be sufficient to stimulate long-term economic recovery as the country continues to face challenges such as weak demand and a cooling property market.
