On September 18th, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) strengthened its systematic approach and focused on promoting the formulation of a batch of national standards for core quantum devices. Among these, two new national standards were released: the "Technical Specification for Quantum Compressed Light Source" and the "Performance Testing Method for Periodically Polarized Lithium Niobate Quantum Frequency Conversion Devices." Four new national standard projects were initiated: the "Technical Specification for Continuous Variable Optical Quantum Entanglement Source in Quantum Technology," the "Performance Requirements and Testing Methods for Diamond Nitrogen-Vacancy Color Center Materials for Power Measurement," and the "Performance Characterization and Measurement Methods for Solid-State Spin Quantum Magnetometers in Quantum Measurement." Several other standards under development, including the "Performance Characterization and Measurement Methods for Two-Photon Polarized Entanglement Source in Quantum Technology" and the "Performance Characterization and Measurement Methods for Ultra-High Reflectivity Optical Thin Films in Quantum Technology," are progressing steadily, accelerating the construction and improvement of my countrys national standard system for quantum technology. Going forward, the SAMR (National Standardization Administration) will continue to accelerate the development of national standards for two-photon polarized entanglement sources and ultra-high reflectivity optical thin films, gradually improving the standard chain for core quantum devices and key equipment, and continuously strengthening the engineering and technical standard foundation for the quantum industry.On September 18, at the Huawei Connect 2026 conference, Zhou Yuefeng, Director of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud, announced that the Lingqu Ascend 950 intelligent computing cluster cloud service will be commercially available in the domestic market on September 30 and in the global market on November 30.On September 18th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan." An official from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development stated that the key to improving peoples living standards is building "good houses." What kind of good houses should be built? Safe, comfortable, green, and smart. How to build good houses? Promote the entire chain and the entire life cycle from good standards, good design, good materials, good construction, and good operation and maintenance. What are good standards? We believe that standards that the people consider good are good standards. The official stated that they have carefully listened to the publics opinions on improving living conditions and have raised housing quality requirements in 14 aspects.On September 18, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan". Chen Shaowang, spokesperson and vice minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at the conference that the 15th Five-Year Plan period aims to achieve five goals: significant progress in the construction of modern peoples cities, a new improvement in the living standards of the people, remarkable results in the upgrading of the construction industry, a significant enhancement of global influence in the field of human settlements, and a comprehensive consolidation of the foundation for high-quality development.According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, Chinas aluminum production in August 2026 was 5.609 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.3%; the cumulative production from January to August was 43.285 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 1.6%. Looking at the provincial data, Shandong ranked first with a production of 9.3153 million tons from January to August, followed by Henan with 8.0752 million tons, and Guangdong with 3.1162 million tons.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
