Alibaba shares soar 15% on news of major overhaul
Hong Kong-listed shares of Alibaba surged 15% after the company announced a significant overhaul to split the tech giant into six business groups.
On Wall Street overnight, Alibaba stocks soared to close 14.26% higher. They were 0.71% higher in after-hours trading.
The decision to split into different units means its own leadership and executive board will manage each and can pursue independent fundraising and IPOs when ready.
The company said the move aims to “unlock shareholder value.”

Bitcoin has rallied more than 17% in the past two weeks
Bitcoin ($BTC/USD) has demonstrated resilience in the past two weeks despite facing regulatory challenges, as its price surged by over 17%. This suggests that the asset may be in the early stages of a bull market.
On Thursday, March 30, the price briefly surpassed $29,000 before settling at around $28,500, while other major tokens like ether (ETH) and XRP experienced a pause in their multiday rally, falling over 24 hours.
According to on-chain data, some traders and holders of large amounts of tokens, colloquially known as whales, are taking profits after weeks of gains. This may contribute to a decline in the near future.

Goldman Sachs raises $EUR/USD forecasts to 1.0500
Goldman Sachs analysts have increased their 3- and 6-month $EUR/USD forecasts to 1.0500, up from the previous 1.0200. This change comes in response to the recent decline in the US growth outlook and a less favorable tightening mix for the US Dollar.
While the analysts have adjusted their short-term forecasts, they maintain their 12-month prediction at 1.10. The rationale behind this decision is that limited economic slack and rising recession risks will counteract any substantial US Dollar downside.
