Technical market indicators show Alibaba stock is primed for a rally that could shake shares in the Chinese tech giant out of their funk—if only there were a catalyst.

Modi's govt calls on Indian state to look into Reuters report on Foxconn hiring
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Wednesday said it has asked the Tamil Nadu state to submit a "detailed report" after a Reuters story revealed that Apple supplier Foxconn rejected married women from iPhone assembly jobs in the country. In a statement calling for the probe, the federal government's Ministry of Labour and Employment cited the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976, saying the law "clearly stipulates that no discrimination (is) to be made while recruiting men and women workers." The ministry said it has requested a detailed report from the Labour Department of Tamil Nadu, site of a major iPhone factory where Reuters uncovered Foxconn’s practice of shunning married women from jobs.

Earlier in June, the risk premium France pays for its debt on top of Germany's neared levels last seen in 2012, during the euro zone debt crisis.

Micron Tech beats revenue estimates on AI chip demand; shares fall after run-up
(Reuters) -Micron Technology beat estimates for third-quarter revenue on Wednesday driven by strong demand for its memory chips, but its current-quarter forecast disappointed investors who were upbeat about the chipmaker's performance in the AI boom. The stock had risen 13% this month, ahead of earnings, on investor optimism that Micron would benefit from AI-driven demand. "Micron's largely inline forecast may have been good enough two or three months ago, but is not enough to meet current lofty hopes, especially after a 67% year-to-date rally in its share price," said Michael Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital.
