China's oil imports fell to an eight-year low, and the electrification of its economy suggests a permanent shift away from oil, putting downward pressure on global oil prices.

Asian markets are showing more stability, with the MSCI Asia index up 2.6% after a 3.3% decline. Tech is the top driver.

Investors are becoming more selective, picking major tech names that benefit from earnings growth and attractive valuations. China's exports surged 19% in May, driven by AI demand for chips and computers. Oil imports fell to an eight-year low, down 29%.

The lower base effect from Trump tariffs a year ago contributes to the strong export numbers. The decline in oil imports reflects China's reduced reliance on imported oil, drawing down reserves and electrifying its economy.
