LongbridgeAII'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

HSBC reported a Q1 pretax profit of $9.4 billion, slightly down from $9.5 billion last year, with revenue between $18.6 and $19.1 billion. Shares fell 5.1% after the earnings miss, influenced by factors like the Middle East conflict and rising inflation, which could reduce profits by mid-to-high single digits. HSBC plans to sell its Indonesia retail unit to OCBC for S$6.6 billion and will launch an HKD stablecoin in H2.
