[U.S. non-farm payroll data is expected to set the tone for the U.S. Treasury market] Jens Peter Sorensen of Danske Bank said in a report that the U.S. non-farm payroll data for July will set the tone for the U.S. Treasury market next week. The chief analyst said that if the labor market report is weak, it will put the Federal Reserve under greater pressure to cut interest rates in September, although Thursday's PCE inflation data was slightly higher than expected. PCE inflation is an inflation indicator valued by the Federal Reserve. Sorensen said that this slightly higher-than-expected PCE data shows "how difficult it is to get inflation below 2% or close to 2%." Data from Tradeweb showed that the yield on the 2-year U.S. Treasury bond was flat at 3.950%, while the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose 2 basis points to 4.381%

[Russell Investments: Non-farm payrolls are expected to add 100,000 new jobs, but employment is still weak but still supports a soft landing] U.S. long-term bond yields rose slightly during the Asian trading session. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expect the U.S. non-farm payrolls to add 100,000 jobs in July, compared with 147,000 in June. BeiChen Lin, investment strategist at Russell Investments, said in a report: "As widely expected, the labor market has weakened slightly, which is still consistent with our soft landing outlook." The breadth of job creation will be a key observation point. In recent months, new jobs have begun to be more concentrated in understaffed industries such as healthcare, and the expansion of employment may provide some assurance for the resilience of the economy.

Songyan Power: 105 Humanoid Robots Delivered in July - On August 1st, Songyan Power, a Chinese humanoid robotics company, officially announced that it delivered 105 humanoid robots in July, including 92 N2 humanoid robots and 13 E1 humanoid robots, a 176% increase from June.

[IATA: Passenger demand growth slowed to 2.6% in June] On August 1, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released regular data on global air passenger demand in June 2025, showing a year-on-year increase of 2.6% in total air passenger demand. Total capacity increased by 3.4% year-on-year. The load factor in June was 84.5%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.6 percentage points. Willie Walsh, Director General of IATA, said: "Air travel demand in June was affected by the military conflict in the Middle East and the growth rate was slower than in previous months. As demand lags behind capacity growth, global load factors have fallen from historical highs, but are still very strong. Capacity is expected to increase slightly by 1.8% in August, and load factors during the northern hemisphere summer tourist season are unlikely to deviate from recent historical highs."

[Dalio Exits Bridgewater Associates Board] Renowned hedge fund investor Ray Dalio recently sold his last remaining shares in Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, and resigned from the board. In a statement, Dalio said he looked forward to witnessing Bridgewater's future success as a "client and mentor." Last week, Bridgewater Associates announced in a letter to clients that it had repurchased all of Dalio's remaining shares. The company subsequently issued new shares to the Brunei Investment Authority. In this multi-billion dollar transaction, the Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund acquired a nearly 20% stake in Bridgewater, becoming one of the firm's largest shareholders. Bridgewater Associates' assets under management have shrunk significantly in recent years, from $168 billion at the end of 2019 to $92.1 billion by the end of 2024. However, the company's flagship Pure Alpha fund has seen improved performance following the size restriction, with an 11.3% return in 2024 and a 17% gain in the first half of 2025.

[Russia's factory output shrank at the fastest rate since March 2022 in July] A business survey released on Friday showed that Russia's manufacturing activity declined at the fastest rate since March 2022 in July, and business confidence fell to its lowest point in nearly three years. Russia's S&P Global Manufacturing PMI fell to 47.0 in July from 47.5 in June, further away from the boom-bust line of 50. S&P Global said the survey showed that "the health of Russia's manufacturing industry has declined sharply." This second sharp decline in consecutive months was caused by weak customer demand and poor customer financial conditions, which affected production and new orders.

[Long-term U.S. Treasury yields rise as the market awaits employment data] During the Asian trading session, long-term U.S. Treasury yields rose slightly as the market awaited the U.S. non-farm payroll data, which is an important reference for assessing the prospects for interest rate cuts. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal predicted 100,000 new jobs, compared to 147,000 in June. "If the labor market weakens slightly as widely expected, it will still be consistent with our soft landing outlook," said BeiChenLin of Russell Investments in a report. The senior investment strategist said the breadth of new jobs will be a key point to look at. He said that in recent months, new jobs have begun to be more concentrated in understaffed areas such as healthcare, and the improvement in the breadth of new jobs may provide some assurance of economic resilience. According to Tradeweb data, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 1.6 basis points to 4.374%

[U.S. CPI and employment data are seen as key to assessing the prospects of the Fed's rate cut] BNP Paribas analysts said in a report that the market will pay close attention to the next four key U.S. data, two CPI reports in July and August and two employment reports, to assess the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in September, with the first to be released on Friday's July employment report. These analysts said that investors have so far believed that the worst of the four data will be decisive. This means that as long as one of the four upcoming reports is weak, it will be enough to prompt the Fed to cut interest rates in September. "We believe that this complacent view may change after the July FOMC meeting." The Fed kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, in line with expectations.

[UBS reiterates its buy rating on Kangfang Biopharma and raises its target price to HK$197.5] UBS published a research report stating that Kangfang Biopharma's (09926.HK) core product AK112 (ivonescimab) has shown great potential in indications other than non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition to the six indications for NSCLC, the company has launched six Phase III clinical trials covering first-line treatment areas such as bile duct cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The breadth of indications ranks first among similar drugs. UBS pointed out that the drug has seen rapid sales growth since it was included in the national medical insurance catalog in January this year. In May, it was approved for a new indication for the first-line treatment of NSCLC. It is expected to further contribute to incremental revenue through the 2025 medical insurance negotiations. It raised the peak sales of AK112 in China and globally to US$1.2 billion and US$14.6 billion, reiterated its buy rating, and significantly raised the target price from HK$112.1 to HK$197.5.

[Dollar Strength Continues, Yen Weakness Draws Government Concern] 1. The US dollar index climbed to 100.14 on Friday, its highest level since May 29th. This week's gain totaled 2.5%, putting it on track for its best weekly performance in nearly three years. After US President Trump announced differentiated tariffs on Canada, Switzerland, and other countries, the US dollar generally strengthened against major currencies, with the Canadian dollar falling to a three-month low of 1.3872 and the Swiss franc retreating 0.26% to 0.8120. 2. The yen continued to weaken after the Bank of Japan stated it was in no rush to raise interest rates. USD/JPY briefly rose to 150.915, an April high, before retreating to around 150.47. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato expressed concern and hinted at possible intervention. Asian currencies were generally under pressure, with the Philippine peso falling to a six-month low and the South Korean won also hitting a multi-month low. 3. The market focused on non-farm payroll data: Despite Trump's renewed criticism of the Federal Reserve's policies, the US dollar remained strong. Analysts pointed out that if the US non-farm payroll data tonight shows a moderate slowdown in job growth (expected to add 110,000 jobs), it may strengthen the "Goldilocks" economic scenario, creating conditions for future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The euro remained near a two-month low, currently trading around 1.1427, up about 0.13%, as the market's pessimistic interpretation of the US-EU trade agreement continued to exert pressure.

Asia-Pacific stock markets are generally under pressure, with the semiconductor sector leading the decline. 1. Major Asia-Pacific stock markets fell across the board on Friday, pressured by the new US tariffs and weak economic data. US President Trump announced differentiated tariffs across several economies, including a uniform 40% tariff on goods transshipped for tax evasion, sparking market concerns. Investors also awaited guidance from US non-farm payroll data tonight. 2. South Korean stocks led the decline, with the Kospi plummeting 3.5% to 3,131 points. The government's withdrawal of tax cuts triggered a sell-off, with technology stocks such as SK Hynix leading the decline. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.4%, with semiconductor equipment giant Tokyo Electron plunging 17.4%. The Taiwan stock market fell 0.7%, dragged down by semiconductor stocks, with TSMC and MediaTek both falling over 1%. Mainland Chinese stocks were relatively resilient, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 0.2% and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index also slightly lower by 0.2%. 2. Southeast Asian markets showed mixed performance, with Indonesian and Malaysian stock markets bucking the trend and rising over 1%, while Thai and Vietnamese stock markets saw slight declines. Analysts pointed out that the differential impact of tariff policies on different economies will continue to ferment, and stocks related to the technology industry chain may continue to be under pressure in the short term.

NIO's Hong Kong Stock Soars 9%, New Model's Low Pricing Boosts Market Confidence 1. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer NIO (9866.HK) surged 10% to HK$38.3 on Friday, significantly outperforming the broader market. The company announced a price tag of 265,800 RMB for its new Onvo L90 seven-seat all-electric SUV, significantly outperforming the competition, the Ideal i8. Citi analysts noted that the model, thanks to pre-order discounts and a low entry price, significantly outperforms its competitors in terms of price-performance and features. 2. Despite the positive market response to the new model, analysts remain cautious about NIO's prospects. CCB International noted that the L90 alone is unlikely to achieve a turnaround in profitability. Data shows that NIO's net loss widened to 6.89 billion RMB in the first quarter, primarily due to rising operating costs. In contrast, peer Xpeng has achieved both sales and profit growth thanks to its Mona M03 model, and the market expects it to return to profitability this year. 3. As one of China's three emerging automakers, NIO's stock price performance has significantly lagged behind Ideal and Xpeng so far this year. While the new model pricing strategy has boosted the stock price in the short term, the company still needs to prove its sustainable profitability to truly win back investor favor.

[The number of layoffs in the global technology industry has exceeded 80,000 this year] A new report released by the job search website Indeed on Wednesday said that the number of technology job postings in the United States in July fell 36% from the level at the beginning of 2020. The company's economist Brendon Bernard explained that this is a weak period in the technology job market, but employment in other fields is cooling at a similar rate. Despite this, the layoffs in the technology industry this year have still caused vigilance. According to statistics from the Layoffs.fyi website, 171 technology companies around the world have announced layoffs this year, and a total of 80,250 technology industry employees have been fired.

13:30:23

US job growth expected to slow in July, but rate cut expectations remain uncertain. 1. July's US non-farm payroll data is expected to show slowing job growth, with new jobs likely falling to 110,000, down from 147,000 in June. The unemployment rate is expected to rise slightly from 4.1% to 4.2%, but remain within the narrow range seen since May 2024. Despite signs of a cooling labor market, analysts generally believe this is not enough to prompt the Federal Reserve to immediately cut interest rates, especially given the inflationary pressures fueled by new tariffs. 2. After the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday, Chairman Powell's comments dampened market expectations for a September rate cut. Economists point out that uncertainty caused by tariffs is impacting business hiring decisions, while reduced immigration has lowered the threshold for maintaining job growth. EY-Parthenon's chief economist stated that the current data may reinforce the Fed's wait-and-see stance, but a significant downward revision to subsequent employment data could still prompt a policy shift. 3. The market has postponed the expected interest rate cut from September to October. Some analysts warn that the Fed's window for implementing loose policies is narrowing as tariffs push up prices. However, there are also views that if the job market deteriorates more than expected, the Fed may still act earlier.

Yangtze River Delta Railways Have Transported Nearly 86 Million Passengers Halfway Through the 2025 Summer Travel Season (July 1st to August 31st) The Shanghai Bureau of China Railway has learned that with the 2025 Summer Travel Season (July 1st to August 31st) already halfway through, the Yangtze River Delta Railways have transported nearly 86 million passengers, a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.6%, with a daily average of over 2.77 million passengers.

South Korean stocks accelerated their decline in the afternoon as government tax hike plans severely impacted market confidence. 1. South Korean stocks fell sharply in the afternoon on Friday, with the Korea Composite Index (KOSPI) falling 3.7% to 3,125 points, its biggest single-day drop in nearly four months. The market generally attributed the plunge to the new government's announced tax increase plan, which proposes raising the top corporate tax rate to 25% and increasing the stock transaction tax from 0.15% to 0.2%. NH Investment Securities analysts noted that this fiscal policy shift significantly dampened investor sentiment. 2. The semiconductor, defense, and steel sectors were the hardest hit, with memory chip giant SK Hynix plummeting 5.5%, Posco falling 4.7%, and Hanwha Aerospace plummeting 6.5%. Market capital flows showed continued net selling by foreign and institutional investors, exacerbating the selling pressure. Analysts warned that the market is likely to remain volatile and downward until policy uncertainty is resolved, and investors should closely monitor subsequent government policy adjustments and changes in foreign capital flows.

[EUR/USD fluctuates narrowly, awaiting key data guidance] 1. EUR/USD edged up 0.05% during Friday's Asian session, trading in a tight range of 1.1405-1.0428. Markets remained cautious ahead of the release of US non-farm payroll data later that evening, while Eurozone PMI and core CPI data will also provide key clues for exchange rate trends. 2. The exchange rate remains in a downward trend, with the 5-day, 10-day, and 21-day moving averages all trending downward, maintaining a bearish trend on the daily chart. Resistance is anticipated at Wednesday's high of 1.1572 and the 21-day moving average of 1.1645. Support lies below, at the early June low of 1.1372 and the 61.8% retracement of the May-July rally at 1.1357. Notably, €2.651 billion in options expire in the 1.1400/05 area, potentially constraining short-term trends. 3. Analysts note that following the impact of US tariffs, market focus has shifted to fundamentals. The comparison between Eurozone economic data and the US ISM manufacturing PMI will be a key factor affecting the exchange rate. If the Eurozone data is strong, it may help the euro to hold its current support level; conversely, strong US employment data may increase downward pressure on the euro.

[Euronext CEO: The United States is gradually becoming more like an "emerging market" and Europe is becoming a destination for funds] Euronext CEO Buha said that at least from the perspective of the stock market, the United States is beginning to show the characteristics of an emerging market. Long before Trump returned to the White House, funds had begun to flow into the European market, forming the initial trend of the so-called "big rotation." But since Trump took office, this trend has evolved into a historic transformation. Investors are moving away from a United States that some people see as both unfamiliar and untrustworthy. Coupled with a weaker dollar and more attractive valuations, Europe is once again becoming the focus of investors. Buha said: "Today, Europe is seen as a large Switzerland. People are not fascinated by the growth prospects of European economies, but generally believe that their institutional framework is stable and predictable."

A-shares fell slightly in early trading, with tariffs having limited impact as the market awaits a US-China agreement. 1. Chinese stocks fell modestly in early trading on Friday, with the Shanghai Composite Index closing down 0.2% at 3566.55 points and the CSI 300 Index down 0.3%. The US decision to impose new tariffs on dozens of countries triggered widespread weakness in Asian markets, but the Chinese market reacted relatively restrainedly. Analysts noted that the tariff rate of 15%-19% was largely in line with expectations, and that signals that China and the US were nearing a trade deal eased market concerns. 2. The market underwent a structural adjustment, with the communications sector performing weakly. The CSI 5G Communications Thematic Index fell 1.9%, and ZTE's A-shares closed down 1.1%. In contrast, some sectors benefiting from trade expectations remained resilient. Investment institutions believe that the market is currently more focused on the progress of the US-China negotiations, and the US Treasury Secretary's statement that the negotiations were "close but not finalized" has prompted investor caution. 3. Morningstar analysts noted that while the 90-day extension of US-China negotiations may indicate disagreements, progress in key areas such as controlling fentanyl exports and rare earth issues could still contribute to a deal. Market insiders said that against the backdrop of weak manufacturing data, a breakthrough in the negotiations would significantly improve market sentiment.

Hubei's Photovoltaic Capacity Surpasses Thermal Power for the First Time, With a Quarter of the Province's Electricity Coming from Renewable Energy. On July 31st, State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd. announced that Hubei's installed photovoltaic capacity has exceeded 42.8282 million kilowatts, accounting for 32.31% of the total installed capacity. After surpassing hydropower for the first time in April of this year, photovoltaic capacity has now surpassed thermal power (41.1880 million kilowatts, accounting for 31.08%), becoming the province's largest power source for the first time. From January to June of this year, the Hubei power grid consumed 20.536 billion kilowatt-hours of photovoltaic power, a year-on-year increase of 36.85%. Combined with the province's 10.3871 million kilowatts of wind power installed, Hubei now receives one out of every four kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed from renewable energy sources. This not only further reduces Hubei's dependence on traditional fossil fuels but also injects strong "green momentum" into its high-quality economic development.

Jay Chou's concerts have driven over 1.1 billion yuan in consumption, with every 1 yuan spent on concert tickets driving 4.8 yuan in spending. As the performance market continues to boom, the heat of concerts is radiating. From the bustling business districts near the venues to the hard-to-find rooms in nearby hotels, concerts, music festivals, and other entertainment activities are driving diversified consumption in cities. Data released by the China Performing Arts Industry Association shows that concerts drive local consumption at a ratio of 1:4.8, meaning that for every 1 yuan spent on concert tickets, surrounding consumption during the same period is 4.8 yuan. In March of this year, Daolang's Wuhan concert drove a fourfold month-on-month increase in hotel bookings around the Wuhan Sports Center. At Jay Chou's Sanya concert, 82% of the audience were from outside the island, driving overall consumption exceeding 1.1 billion yuan. (CCTV Finance)

USD/JPY Breaks Through Key Resistance, Possible Further Upside] 1. The USD/JPY exchange rate has continued to strengthen recently, successfully breaking through the 200-day moving average and the psychologically important 150.00 level, signaling a possible reversal of the downtrend since January. Market analysis suggests that amid diverging policy stances between the US and Japanese central banks, the dollar could gain further upward momentum unless Japanese authorities implement new intervention measures. 2. Technically, USD/JPY has rebounded from its April 22 low of 139.88 and is currently approaching the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 151.62. This trend stands in stark contrast to the previous correction, signaling a significant shift in market sentiment. Although both the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan maintained interest rates, the Fed's less-than-expected dovish stance and the Bank of Japan's relatively mild hawkish stance provided support for the US dollar. 3. Market positioning data shows that as of July 22, investors still held significant net long yen and long euro contracts. The unwinding of these positions could further boost the dollar's gains. In addition, the knock-out options triggered by Japanese importers above the 150.00 mark may also increase the demand for US dollar buying. However, Tokyo market participants warned that if the exchange rate continues to climb to around 155, it may trigger intervention by the Japanese or US Treasury departments.

[Survey: South Korea's inflation rate is expected to remain stable in July] The Wall Street Journal's survey on South Korea's overall inflation rate in July showed that the CPI will rise by 2.2% year-on-year, the same as in June. Following the flat month-on-month growth last month, the index is expected to rise slightly by 0.2% in June. Chun Kyu-yeon, an economist at Hana Securities, said that price pressure from the demand side remains weak, but the government's fiscal stimulus measures (including cash handouts aimed at boosting private consumption) may increase price pressure in the short term.

[JPMorgan Chase downgraded CATL's rating to neutral due to valuation considerations and raised its target price to HK$415] The bank raised its earnings forecast for CATL (03750.HK) by 5% to reflect high expectations for performance, and raised its H-share target price from HK$400 to HK$415, equivalent to a combined price-to-earnings ratio of 20 times for 2026 and 2027. Considering that the H-shares have risen 62% since their listing, the valuation has become reasonable (the H-shares are equivalent to a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.9 times and 22 times for this year and next year respectively), so the rating was downgraded from overweight to neutral, emphasizing that the downgrade was purely due to valuation considerations.
