On August 28, SK Hynix CEO Lee Seok-hee stated at a press conference, "We expect the current market situation to continue until the end of 2030. Currently, we do not see any clear signals indicating that the market is entering a downturn." Lee also pointed out that even if the storage market experiences a downturn in the future, the likelihood of a drastic decline similar to past downturns is very low: "In previous downturn cycles, the storage business was essentially 100% a commodity, and manufacturers primarily engaged in homogeneous competition by expanding capacity. However, for HBM, customers and semiconductor manufacturers participate together in chip development, and both parties must work closely to maximize performance, making market demand easier to predict."

Iran's Foreign Ministry Condemns New U.S. Economic Threats, Calls on All Nations Not to Comply
On August 28, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the new round of economic measures introduced by the United States, labeling them as 'economic terrorism.' The ministry stated that Washington's 'Economic Storm Action' aims to inflict suffering on ordinary Iranian citizens, constituting international crimes and crimes against humanity. It asserted that these sanctions violate international law and fundamental rights, including the right to access medical services and food.

In response to the joint military and economic actions of the U.S. and Israel, Tehran will take all available measures to defend the nation. -

U.S. Treasury Can Temporarily Lower Long-Term Yields, but Long-Term Market Resistance is Challenging
According to macroeconomic forecasting consultancy TS Lombard, the U.S. Treasury can indeed temporarily lower long-term yields and compress the spread between 30-year and 10-year bonds by significantly increasing short-term debt issuance while repurchasing long-term debt. However, this effect is more short-term in nature. Currently, Treasury Secretary Yellen is pushing for long-term repurchase operations at a frequency close to three times a month, with a maximum single operation size doubled to $4 billion, which remains relatively small compared to the entire U.S. bond market. Even if similar operations like Operation Twist (where the central bank or Treasury sells short-term bonds and buys long-term bonds) are further implemented, the effects may quickly diminish. Looking back at the Operation Twist from 2011-2012, while long-term yields and the curve initially declined significantly after the policy was introduced, fundamentals regained dominance a few months later, and the impact of the second round of operations was weaker. Overall, while the Treasury has tools and can create temporary supply-demand changes, it cannot fundamentally alter long-term term premiums. Global capital flows and macro fundamentals will ultimately re-establish equilibrium. If investors believe that long-term bonds do not adequately compensate for inflation risks, or if the value of bonds as a hedge against equities declines, the demand generated by Treasury repurchases will ultimately be offset by reduced allocations from private investors.
