Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) stock is trading higher by 3.1% to $65.21 during Monday&#8217;s session due to optimism surrounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42391254/us-listed-chinese-stocks-jump-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-looser-monetary-policy-assurances">China&#8217;s economic stimulus plans</a>, which could boost energy demand and industrial activity.
What To Know: Ahead of China's annual Central Economic Work Conference, U.S.-listed stocks with strong ties to China's economy have seen rising investor confidence. Shell's diverse global energy portfolio, which spans traditional oil and gas as well as renewables, is well-positioned to capitalize on this positive momentum.
The Politburo, led by President Xi Jinping, recently pledged "more proactive" fiscal policies and "moderately" looser monetary measures for 2025, aiming to boost domestic consumption and stabilize markets.

This signals a likely uptick in industrial and infrastructure investments, which are energy-intensive and critical drivers of Shell's core oil and gas operations. China's renewed commitment to spurring growth in its property sector and heavy industries further bolsters demand prospects for fossil fuels and petrochemicals.
Moreover, Shell's significant investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) align with China's goals to expand cleaner energy use. LNG demand is expected to rise as Beijing balances short-term industrial recovery with long-term environmental goals.
With improving market conditions and potential for robust economic policy measures, Shell could be well-positioned to benefit from a rebound in global energy demand led by China.

Investors can gain exposure to&nbsp;Shell by&nbsp;investing&nbsp;in the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>)
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SHEL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Shell&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SHEL has a 52-week high of $74.60 and a 52-week low of $60.34.

Bilibili Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BILI#NASDAQ">BILI</a>) shares are trading higher by 21.2% to $23.12 during Monday&#8217;s session.

What To Know: Bilibili, a prominent Chinese video streaming and entertainment platform, could be positioned to benefit from renewed optimism surrounding China's economic policies.

The Politburo, under President Xi Jinping, recently pledged "more proactive" fiscal measures and a "moderately" looser monetary policy to stimulate domestic consumption and stabilize critical sectors. For Bilibili, whose business thrives on a younger, tech-savvy audience, these policy shifts could be transformative. 
Increased consumer spending power and improved economic sentiment would likely drive higher user engagement, subscription growth and advertising revenue.
Bilibili's strategic expansion into gaming and live streaming further enhances its growth prospects, aligning with China&#8217;s focus on boosting the technology and digital sectors. Analysts expect the conference to set an ambitious GDP growth target for 2025, potentially around 5%.

$100 Invested In Cencora 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Trip.com Group Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCOM#NASDAQ">TCOM</a>) shares are trading higher by 10.4% to $76.26 during Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are trading higher following reports suggesting Chinese officials would embrace a &#8216;moderately loose&#8217; monetary policy.
What To Know: Trip.com, a leading global travel services provider based in China, is primed for a potential stock surge as U.S.-listed Chinese equities gain traction ahead of China's highly anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42391254/us-listed-chinese-stocks-jump-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-looser-monetary-policy-assurances">Central Economic Work Conference</a>. 
Investors are closely watching as policymakers, led by President Xi Jinping, signal a more proactive fiscal stance and a moderately looser monetary policy for 2025, focusing on boosting domestic consumption and stabilizing key markets, including tourism.

The Politburo's commitment to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42391254/us-listed-chinese-stocks-jump-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-looser-monetary-policy-assurances">supporting sectors</a> tied to domestic growth is a tailwind for Trip.com, whose business is intrinsically linked to consumer travel demand. 
As China emerges from pandemic-related disruptions, Trip.com has already demonstrated resilience and a robust recovery, with expanding revenues fueled by pent-up travel demand. The company stands to benefit from policy measures likely to enhance disposable incomes and consumer confidence.
Additionally, projected fiscal expansion and rate cuts may lower operational costs and improve profit margins for travel companies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TCOM Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Trip.com Group&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TCOM has a 52-week high of $69.67 and a 52-week low of $32.66.

Why Trip.com (TCOM) Stock Is Trading Higher

The United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk issued a call for the international community to abandon punitive drug policies, declaring that the global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/war-on-drugs">war on drugs has failed.</a>
"The evidence is clear. The so-called War on Drugs has failed, completely and utterly. And prioritizing people over punishment means more lives are saved,&#8221; said Türk while speaking at the ‘Dealing with Drugs II' <a href="https://www.amsterdam.nl/dealingwithdrugs/two/">conference </a>in Warsaw, which brought together leaders and experts from across Europe and the world last Thursday.
The UN commissioner said there is an urgent need for evidence-based, human rights-focused approaches that prioritize health and inclusion over criminalization. "These policies are simply not working—and we are failing some of the most vulnerable groups in our societies."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Radical Shift In Approach</h2>
Türk advocated for treating drug use disorders as public health issues rather than crimes.
"We need to start treating the person, not punishing the drug use disorder," he said, according to a <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/12/1157836">UN</a> press release.
"Historically, people who use drugs are marginalized, criminalized, discriminated against and left behind—very often stripped of their dignity and their rights,&#8221; he said. "We are destined to fail unless we ensure their genuine participation in formulating and implementing drug policy."
Referring to the devastating human toll of punitive drug laws, Türk called for transformative change. "The so-called war on drugs has destroyed countless lives and damaged entire communities," he said, pointing to record levels of drug-related deaths, rising drug use disorders and illegal drug production.
