Why Alibaba Shares Are Getting Hammered Today

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd - ADR (NYSE:BABA) shares are trading lower by 4.75% at $83.09. Shares of Chinese companies are trading lower in possible reaction to US President Biden's recent unveiling of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework to counter China's influence in the region. 

Several Chinese stocks have also seen marked weakness in 2022 and are trading lower amid a COVID-19 outbreak in the country which has caused some business operations to cease. The IMF in April downgraded China’s growth forecast to 4.4% from 4.8%, citing pain from its coronavirus restrictions.
