I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Shares of Chinese payment companies surged after the commerce ministry announced that the yuan is now accepted for tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. CNPC Capital Co. rose 10%, Lakala Payment Co. increased by 7.9%, and Shenzhen Forms Syntron Information Co. gained 9.4%. This development supports China's goal of yuan internationalization and is expected to attract more capital to related sectors amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
