On July 28, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) plunged 10.84% to 6,023.63 points. Samsung Electronics closed down 13.39%, its biggest single-day drop in 18 years, while SK Hynix closed down 14.65%, nearly halving from its June high. Multiple South Korean media outlets interpreted this sharp stock market decline as the impact of the listing of China's largest semiconductor company, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). Market concerns have spread that CXMT will use the funds raised from its stock market listing to catch up with semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, leading to a dent in investor sentiment. According to earlier reports from CNBC, Peter Alexander, an analyst at Z-Ben Advisors, believes that following the development path of the steel and new energy vehicle industries, CXMT will quickly capture market share in the low-end memory chip segment and ultimately shake the monopoly of Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology in the global storage industry.

Bank of America: July Fed Rate Hike Would Be Unprecedented
On July 28, although the market expects a small possibility that the Fed will raise rates in July, Bank of America still expects the Fed to keep rates unchanged. The bank said that if the Fed raises rates in July, it would be unprecedented: since 1994, the Fed has never raised rates when the market probability of a rate hike was below 60%.

Meta and BlackRock Partner to Build $14 Billion Data Center
On July 28, Meta Platforms (META.US) and BlackRock announced a joint investment and ownership of a data center campus in El Paso, Texas, currently under construction, with a computing capacity of 1 gigawatt.

The transaction is expected to close in the coming days, and the project is scheduled to begin operations in 2028. The El Paso data center is part of Meta's over $10 billion investment, and upon completion, it will support over 4,000 construction jobs during peak periods and 300 operational roles. Currently, more than 2,300 workers are on site. Funds managed by BlackRock will hold an 80% stake in the joint venture, while Meta will retain the remaining 20%. Both parties have committed to jointly fund, in proportion to their stakes, approximately $14 billion in development costs for the campus buildings and long-term power, cooling, and communication infrastructure. -
Analyst: Netanyahu Likely to Pressure Trump Again During Meeting
Alex Vatanka, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington D.C., said that when Netanyahu meets Trump at the White House on Tuesday, he will likely try to once again push for regime change in Iran. However, Trump will not buy it because he does not want to do so. Domestically in the U.S., this war is extremely unpopular politically, so what Netanyahu can gain from this meeting remains to be seen. Previous meetings between Trump and Netanyahu in Washington have often been followed by an escalation of tensions with Iran, and it remains to be seen whether this pattern will continue. Israel is still dissatisfied with the memorandum of understanding reached between the Trump administration and Iran because their perception of the Iranian threat differs from that of the U.S. Israeli officials will want Netanyahu to continue pressuring Trump on Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs. The Trump administration's response may be: unless the U.S. decides to send troops to occupy Iran, the military actions the U.S. military can take are limited. And the idea of occupying Iran is something no one takes seriously. (Jin Shi) -
