UMCs sales in August reached NT$25.04 billion, a year-on-year increase of 30.7%.Morgan Stanley raised its target price for Maersk from 10,000 Danish kroner to 16,100 Danish kroner.September 4th - According to a Nikkei report, sources familiar with the matter stated that Apples initial daily production of the foldable iPhone is only "a few hundred units," primarily due to Apples extremely high quality standards. The sources added that the American company is working hard to increase production. A supply chain manager familiar with the situation stated, "Apple has very high quality requirements and added a trial production run before the official launch in August. However, the ramp-up is currently slow, with daily production only reaching a few hundred units by the end of August. This initial production volume may be insufficient to meet market demand." Previous reports indicated that Apples target production volume for this years foldable iPhone was 8 to 10 million units, hoping that this new form factor would boost market demand and drive revenue growth. However, if Apple cannot increase production more quickly, its final output may fall short of the target and may take longer than expected to meet consumer demand. Industry executives stated that, according to the original production targets, the foldable iPhone would normally require tens of thousands of units to be produced daily.September 4th - According to Japanese media reports, Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama is expected to remain in her position in the upcoming cabinet reshuffle. This decision signifies the Japanese governments recognition of her work on the economy, exchange rates, and budget process reforms. Katayama is a core member of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis cabinet and also serves as the Japanese counterpart to US Treasury Secretary Bessenter. Bessenter has consistently pressured Japan to raise interest rates while also helping to stabilize the Japanese currency. Katayamas reappointment would demonstrate Takaichis trust in her policy handling and help ensure the cabinet reshuffle does not trigger market volatility. Replacing Katayama could disrupt close cooperation between the US and Japan on exchange rate issues and further strain an already tense market due to Japanese government spending plans. This could reignite upward pressure on bond yields and lead to a weaker yen.Volkswagen shares rose 7% in early trading in Frankfurt.

Price Analysis of the US Dollar Index: DXY Retreats from 104.00, Rising Wedge Anticipated

During Thursday's Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fails to continue the previous two days' upward momentum, trading on the defensive around 103.95.

 

In doing so, the dollar index remains near the 20-year high reached earlier in the week, but for the first time in three days, the daily decline is recorded.

 

In addition to highlighting a 12-day-old rising wedge bearish pattern surrounding the multi-day top, the DXY's most recent decline also reveals a multi-day top-adjacent rising wedge formation. The slow RSI also highlights the significance of the chart pattern.

 

However, a decisive breach below 102.90 is required to validate the potential decline to 101.30.

 

During the fall, the 100-SMA and monthly low between 102.65 and 102.35 will serve as intermediate stops.

 

Until the quote continues below the indicated wedge's resistance line, approximately 104.30 as of press time, a recovery appears elusive.

 

After that, a slow climb to the September 2002 high of 109.80 cannot be ruled out.
