On July 22, Japan's 40-year government bond auction attracted the strongest demand since March 2025, as investors were lured by higher yields. The bid-to-cover ratio for Wednesday's auction was 2.82 times, up from 2.702 times in the previous auction and above the 12-month average of 2.55 times. After the auction, Japanese government bond prices were largely flat. Recently, comments from Japanese government officials have emphasized the importance of the massive Government Pension Investment Fund increasing its investment in domestic financial assets, providing support for Japanese government bonds. The 40-year bond yield is currently hovering around 3.895%, after hitting a record high of 4.355% in May. However, some investors remain focused on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's expansionary fiscal policy agenda, expectations that the Bank of Japan will tighten rates slowly, and the still-wide interest rate differentials.

Iranian Official: US Provocation on Strait of Hormuz is a Reactive Response
According to IRNA, Hussein Nushabadi, the Director General of the Iranian Foreign Ministry's Parliamentary and Legal Affairs Department, stated in an interview that Washington's controversial claims regarding control over the Strait of Hormuz are primarily driven by domestic political needs and are a reactive response to Iran's demonstrated strength and strategic actions in this waterway. He noted that the baseless assertions made by the US President regarding the Strait of Hormuz do not align with international shipping regulations or the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Nushabadi also pointed out that Iran possesses political and military dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital lifeline for global energy and economy, making it a powerful lever and strategic trump card in responding to external threats. -
Jensen Huang Collaborates with Wall Street Giants to Support AI Computing Market
On August 15, a rare scene unfolded as Jensen Huang joined forces with six major Wall Street asset management giants to endorse the idea of establishing AI computing as an independent asset class.

However, the latest plan has raised concerns among investors regarding 'circular financing' and debt risks. In response to these doubts, Huang personally stepped in to reassure the market, stating that Nvidia may provide a residual value support mechanism of up to 25% for individual investment projects and will carefully evaluate each project. Following this, market sentiment showed slight improvement. (CCTV Finance) -
DJI Added to 'Blacklist', US Court Orders Rehearing
On August 15, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the U.S. Court of Appeals recently ruled that a lower court must rehear the case regarding the inclusion of Chinese drone manufacturer DJI on the Pentagon's 'Chinese Military Industrial Enterprises' blacklist, stating that the previous ruling was based on non-confidential information and contained flaws.

The court has mandated that during the rehearing, the lower court may review classified documents and decide whether to uphold the Department of Defense's designation based on that information. -
