On August 13th, it was reported that Zhenbao Technology, a listed company in Chinas semiconductor component sector, has invested in and will construct a semiconductor component R&D and production base in Optics Valley. The project has a total investment of 520 million yuan and a construction period of three years. The base will focus on three core product categories: silicon carbide components, high-purity silicon precision components, and aluminum nitride ceramic materials and related components. These are essential consumables for front-end manufacturing processes such as chip etching and thin-film deposition. Once operational, the base will rapidly expand the companys existing production capacity, providing convenient services to wafer manufacturing companies in Central China and shortening delivery cycles.On August 13, according to a report by The Times of Israel on the 12th, a US State Department official criticized Israeli Defense Minister Katz, pointing out that his remarks about "preparing for a long-term occupation of southern Lebanon" contradicted previous commitments made by the Israeli government. Katz reportedly claimed earlier on the 12th in southern Lebanon that "Israeli forces will remain in the security zone of Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza to defend Israel." He also stated that he had instructed the Israeli military to take all necessary measures to prepare for a long-term presence in the region. A US State Department official stated, "The United States expects all parties to act in accordance with the framework agreements they have agreed to, and Israel has made it clear that it has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon. Maintaining a permanent military presence in southern Lebanon is neither in line with the commitments made in that framework agreement nor conducive to long-term peace and security between the two countries." The official emphasized that the United States "fully supports Lebanons territorial integrity and sovereignty."August 13 - According to Russias TASS news agency today (August 13), Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Iturup Island, one of the four islands in the Southern Kuril Islands (known as the "Northern Territories" in Japan). One of the main obstacles preventing Russia and Japan from concluding a peace treaty is the dispute over the ownership of the Southern Kuril Islands.Iraqi Prime Minister: We will never tolerate any party violating our airspace or threatening national security.August 13th - According to foreign media reports, South Korea has raised the ceiling on household debt growth and pledged to increase housing supply in the Seoul metropolitan area, further intensifying efforts to curb the continued rise in the real estate market. Soaring housing prices have gradually become a political burden for President Lee Jae-myung. According to a joint statement released by the South Korean government on Thursday, the government plans to supply more than 230,000 housing units in the Seoul metropolitan area, including 100,000 units to be built in newly designated areas. This is a further increase on top of existing targets. Previously, the South Korean government had set a target to start construction on 1.35 million housing units in the Seoul metropolitan area between 2026 and 2030. The latest measures are a further step up from the supply-side policies announced last September. At that time, a prolonged slump in the construction industry raised concerns that a shortage of new housing supply would continue to drive up housing prices and make it more difficult for young families to afford a home.

The difficulties that the USD/JPY pair met around 133.00 during the Asian session are now in full force. As investors predict a disappointing result from the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data, the asset has printed a low of 132.77 and is projected to decrease further to about 132.00.

 

JP Morgan experts projected that the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) will be poorer than expected at 200K in the July labor market statistics, compared to the consensus expectation of 250k jobs gained in the month. The US economy produced 372k new jobs in the labor market in June. The labor market is under great pressure as a result of data showing a continued fall in job creation. The unemployment rate, though, will be constant at 3.6 percent.

 

Increased labor market dangers are a result of rising interest rates and their compounding impacts. Due to pricey dollars, business players are unable to invest without reluctance. Low investment possibilities cannot thus speed the process of creating jobs.

 

Despite the Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers' enhanced interest rate ambitions, the US dollar index (DXY) has thrown up the support of 106.00. According to Cleveland Fed President Loretta J. Mester, ending the policy tightening program without detecting a decline in the inflation rate for several months is not conceivable at interest rates above 4 percent .

 

Tokyo's entire household expenditure has dramatically climbed from the previous report of -0.5 percent and the predictions of 1.5 percent to 3.5 percent. As an inflation indicator, the economic data may aid the yen bulls. The economic data have greatly improved, which means that the inflation rate may climb much further. The findings may, however, be largely impacted by growing energy expenditures. However, a hike in the labor cost index is shortly to come in order to keep the inflation rate over 2 percent.
