HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK) CEO Georges Elhedery said in an interview with Bloomberg that people will remain central to banks even as AI becomes widespread.

STANCHART (02888.HK) CEO Bill Winters’ earlier remarks about using AI to replace "lower-value human capital" sparked controversy and he subsequently apologized for the comments.

Elhedery said he needs human judgment, human decision-making and human accountability at the core. While AI will revolutionize how banks serve customers, with the potential for productivity increase and hyper-personalized services, the CEO insisted that people are still key, and this could mean more hiring in the future.

He added that the bank of the future means more capabilities, hoping to accelerate and advance many of the ambitious deliverables set for HSBC’s future, which will require investment and in turn create job opportunities.

Elhedery said HSBC is working to integrate AI across its entire business and has already applied it to various functions, including Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance checks.

CATHAY PAC AIR (00293.HK) has ensured to operate all scheduled flights as normal during the peak summer travel season in July and August. CEO Ronald Lam stated that arrangements for September and beyond will depend on situation.

He expressed hope that by September the Middle East situation and high oil price situation would have more clarity and would have eased, and therefore the airline does not need to cancel more flights.

Lam added that it is a bit too early to make definitive conclusions. CATHAY PAC AIR must remain agile, but will try to protect the capacity as much as it could.

The current Iranian oil crisis has shored up airlines’ costs, forcing CATHAY PAC AIR to raise fuel surcharges. Lam said the company is evaluating whether adjustments to its fuel hedging policy are needed. However, he noted that no shortage of aviation fuel has emerged so far and it is unlikely to pose a risk in the future.

Hong Kong is vying with the US for the top position in the global IPO market, while also facing challenges over a growing trend where the stocks sink after their debut, CNBC reported.

According to data from KPMG, Hong Kong ranked first globally in IPO fundraising last year, toppling the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Data from HKEX (00388.HK) showed that more than 600 companies were waiting to list on HKEX as of last Thursday (4th).

However, IPO performance in Hong Kong has generally been weak, report said. Of the 179 listings conducted since January 2025, about half have seen their share prices decline over the past three months, according to Wind data.

In comparison, the HSI recorded a moderate downfall over the same period, while the FTSE Renaissance Global IPO Index grew by more than 10%.

For stocks eligible under the Shanghai- and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect scheme, which allows mainland Chinese investors to invest directly, the performance divergence has been even more pronounced.

Among the 33 Hong Kong-listed stocks included in Shanghai- and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect on March 9, more than half saw their share prices leap by over 1x between their IPO and the last trading day before inclusion.

Eight of these stocks, including AI startup DEEPEXI TECH (01384.HK), ballooned by more than 300% during that period. Yet, all eight have since slid by 10% or more after inclusion. As of last Wednesday (3rd), DEEPEXI TECH had lost about 51%.

The share price of KNOWLEDGE ATLAS (02513.HK), which was included in Southbound trading today, and that of MINIMAX-W (00100.HK), which may be added to the scheme as early as this summer, will be closely watched.

Beijing authorities are keeping tabs on the situation, report told. China’s state-run media Securities Times became the latest outlet on May 29 to highlight concerns over certain Hong Kong IPOs that experienced upsurges followed by collapses.

In a statement to CNBC, HKEX said that share price performance is influenced by various factors.

The robotics team of XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) recently won championships at both the CVPR 2026 Workshops - GigaBrain Challenge - RoboChallenge Track and the ICRA 2026 Whole Body Control, two top-tier international competitions, fully demonstrating Xiaomi's cutting-edge R&D capabilities in the field of embodied intelligence.

At the CVPR 2026 Workshops, the competition primarily tested complex real-world operations under a single-model multi-task setting. Xiaomi's anonymous contestant model "my16" topped the overall leaderboard with a 40.89% success rate, becoming the only model in this edition to surpass 40%.

Through a dual-system architecture comprising a “VLM brain + world model cerebellum”, the team enabled the robot to possess both long-horizon task understanding and fine manipulation capabilities.

At the ICRA 2026 WBC, the focus was on whether robots could stably and reliably complete whole-body coordinated operations. Xiaomi's robot won the championship with a composite score of 99.2 points and an overall success rate of 94%, also the only team to exceed 90%, leading the second place by 10 points.

Xiaomi stated that it will continue to deepen its efforts in embodied intelligence, promoting robots from single-task, low-precision operations toward long-horizon tasks, high-precision manipulation and whole-body coordination, while accelerating their deployment into factory production lines and real-world scenarios.
