HONG KONG: Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) giant SenseTime Group Inc jumps on its first day of trading in Hong Kong after a rocky initial public offering (IPO) that was delayed by concerns over fresh United States sanctions.

The stock gained as much as 23% in early trading yesterday, headed for the biggest first-day gain for any Hong Kong IPO since mid-July.
