Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley Benefit from $17.2B China Tech Fundraising Amid Low AI Truce Prospects
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) are benefiting from a surge in Chinese tech fundraising as U.S.-China tensions over artificial intelligence remain high ahead of an upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Despite rising calls for slowing AI development, led by figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, the likelihood of both nations agreeing to pace their AI advancements remains at just 10%, according to Polymarket traders. U.S. banks have facilitated nearly $17.2 billion in Chinese high-tech share sales this year, representing about 30% of sector issuance. Deals include major listings for companies like Zhongji Innolight and MiniMax. Meanwhile, mainland Chinese and Hong Kong investors hold over $750 billion in U.S. equities, with significant participation in AI funding rounds.
