On May 25, OCBC Bank stated in a report that the market may be reluctant to aggressively eliminate geopolitical premiums, especially with liquidity thinning during the holiday period. The bank noted that, buoyed by hopes of a thaw in US-Iran relations, risk asset alternatives are expected to strengthen at the start of this week. However, the foreign exchange market may hesitate to chase gains due to the unclear details surrounding Iran's nuclear program and uranium enrichment. High-beta currencies such as the Australian dollar, South Korean won, and New Taiwan dollar may rise, while the Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, and Philippine peso may lag behind. Nevertheless, oil remains a key swing factor, as confirmed agreements and weak oil prices could drag down yields and the dollar.

20-Year U.S. Treasury Auction Yield Expected to Set Record
On September 15, at 1 PM New York time, the upcoming reissue auction of 20-year U.S. Treasuries is expected to achieve the highest auction yield for this maturity since it resumed issuance in 2020. A slight bear steepening in the long-end bond market has pushed yields higher. This reissue, sized at $13 billion, has a pre-auction trading yield of approximately 5.41%, which would surpass the record of 5.245% set on October 5, 2023, marking a historical high for this maturity. Last week's coupon-bearing Treasury auction saw strong demand at high yield levels, which could be a potential positive for this 20-year Treasury auction. The yield on the 20-year Treasury reached a high of 5.44% on Tuesday, a historical peak since its resumption. Last week's auctions of 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasuries had bid yields that were 1.4 basis points and 2.7 basis points lower than the issuance yields, respectively. JPMorgan strategists noted in a report on Monday evening that the macro environment lacks attractiveness, valuations are high, and technical support is insufficient, indicating that this auction may require a larger yield concession to be successfully absorbed. The latest positioning data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows that speculators hold a net short position of 200,000 traditional Treasury futures, which could create demand for short covering. -

Trump Calls AI Concerns a Hoax as Semiconductor Stocks Rebound, Qualcomm Rises Over 4%
On September 15, semiconductor stocks collectively rebounded, with Qualcomm rising over 4%, Intel and Marvell Technology increasing by more than 3%, and SK Hynix and AMD gaining over 2%. Nvidia and Micron Technology saw gains of over 1%. On September 14, during a speech at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received a call from Trump and put it on speakerphone. Trump dismissed the dangers of AI as a 'hoax' and compared data centers to 'the oil of the next two to three decades,' claiming their importance 'exceeds that of the internet.' Huang expressed his agreement on the spot, stating that 'we will not let (AI slowdown) happen.' A Citigroup report pointed out that the recent pullback in semiconductor stocks presents a rare buying opportunity and believes that market concerns over a slowdown in AI spending have been significantly overstated. The bank anticipates that the continued growth in AI inference demand, coupled with ongoing supply constraints, will support further expansion of capital investments across the entire industry ecosystem. -
