Middle Eastern funds recorded outsized gains from bets on newly-listed Chinese artificial intelligence companies, outperforming a broader equity selloff tied to the Gulf conflict. The activity reflects concentrated, risk-on positioning into Chinese AI IPOs/secondary listings and helped these funds buck regional market weakness. Continued demand from large sovereign/private Middle Eastern investors may support prices for newly listed Chinese AI names but raises exposure to geopolitically driven volatility.
