This week we look at Alibaba, where splitting up the business can revitalise operations. The US debt ceiling deal boosted equity markets on Friday. Gold prices could also recover, supported by a weaker USD.

Alibaba's board has decided to split the empire into six units, partly forced by the Chinese Communist Party. The Cloud Intelligence Group will become an independent listed company. This could unlock value in the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate.

IT stocks have lifted US equity markets with Nvidia as one engine. The resolution of the US debt ceiling issue on Friday, 26th May, was also positive for the stock market.

The Gold price has fallen but is currently trading at support. The USD has weakened, which could also be a positive trigger.
