Shares of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) were moving higher today after the Chinese government concluded its investigation into Ant Group, its fintech arm, with a $984 million fine. Alibaba also announced some new artificial intelligence (AI) products this morning, though the Ant Group resolution seemed to be the major reason for the stock's gains.

Chinese officials this morning announced a $984 million fine, ending an investigation that began in late 2020 when the government blocked its initial public offering (IPO), kicking off a widespread crackdown on Chinese tech companies and a massive sell-off in the Chinese tech sector.
