Trump Says He Will File a $15 Billion Lawsuit Against the New York Times: According to a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump will file a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times. The lawsuit is being filed in Florida. Trump stated: "Today, I have the honor of filing a $15 billion libel and slander lawsuit against The New York Times. The New York Times is one of the worst and most depraved newspapers in American history. It has become the mouthpiece of the radical left Democratic Party. In my opinion, this is the largest illegal campaign in history. Their support for Kamala Harris was so unabashedly displayed on the front page of the New York Times that it is unheard of! The New York Times has been engaged in a years-long practice of fabricating lies about your favorite president (me!), my family, my career, the America First movement, MAGA, and our entire country. I am determined to hold this once-respected "newspaper" accountable, just as we are doing with fake news networks like our successful lawsuits against George Slopadopoulos, ABC, Disney, and 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount." The New York Times has been slandering and defaming me for a long time. This must stop, and it must stop now!

Goldman Sachs: China's air conditioner market is attractive on many fronts; "Buy" ratings maintained for Midea and Xiaomi. Goldman Sachs published a report stating that the Chinese air conditioner market remains attractive on many fronts, with a highly consolidated market, higher profit margins for leading companies, balanced supply and demand, and a core profitability strategy for leading companies. Xiaomi's competition with industry leaders is related to overall efficiency across the industry's value chain, supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution network. The bank expects competition to strengthen industry efficiency and potentially narrow the profit pool. The bank expects Midea to be the most resilient manufacturer, leveraging its global production leadership and continued improvements in distribution efficiency to increase market share. Gree's earnings are expected to be most impacted among its peers, given its reliance on the Chinese market. The bank expects Xiaomi to become a leading player in second-tier cities, with its market share expected to rise to approximately 10% in the medium term, driven by improvements in its distribution network, product ecosystem, and production capacity. Further market share gains will depend on its strategies for mid-to-high-end products and offline channels. The bank maintains its "Buy" ratings on Midea, Haier Smart Home, Hisense Home Appliances, and Xiaomi, while downgrading Gree's rating from "Buy" to "Neutral."

[DBS Group: Singapore's exports may continue to shrink in August] The economic team of the DBS Group Research Department said in a report that Singapore's non-oil domestic exports may decline for the second consecutive month in August, partly due to the high base effect. DBS pointed out that non-oil domestic exports of electronic products hit the highest level in August last year. The US tariff on Singaporean goods has also remained at 10%. However, DBS said that the tariffs imposed by the United States on Singapore's trading partners may have penetrated into the supply chain, putting pressure on external demand for other non-oil domestic export products. DBS expects non-oil domestic exports to fall by 1.0% in August, an improvement from the 4.6% contraction in July.

Australian Dollar Hits New High for the Year, Technical Momentum Favors: 1. The Australian dollar managed to reach its highest point for the year for the fifth consecutive trading day on Tuesday, as the outlook for interest rates and interest rate differentials favored the currency, while technical momentum remained bullish. The Australian dollar held steady at $0.6667 against the U.S. dollar, having earlier risen to a new 10-month high of $0.6677. It is now within striking distance of the next technical barrier of $0.6687, a break of which would open the way to $0.6793 and last year's high of $0.6943. 2. After hitting an eight-month high against the Japanese yen last week, the Australian dollar is currently trading at a favorable level of 98.25 yen and is poised to test the January highs of 98.82 and 99.15. Richard Franulovich, head of FX strategy at Westpac, said the Australian dollar finally broke free last week, demonstrating stronger and more satisfying forward momentum. Political and fiscal turmoil in Tokyo, Paris and London pose challenges to the outlook for the euro, yen and pound from time to time, while unstable labor market/growth momentum themes suppress the Canadian, US and New Zealand dollars from time to time. Judging from these indicators, the Australian dollar looks like a real safe haven; 3. Assistant Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia Hunt said on Tuesday that the outlook for the Australian economy is balanced, with both upside and downside risks, while there are signs that consumer spending is picking up. She said that the underlying inflation rate is getting closer to the mid-point of the RBA's target range of 2% to 3%, and the goal is to get the economy as close to full employment as possible. This is one of the reasons why the market believes that there is only a 20% chance that the RBA will cut interest rates again at its meeting on September 30, and assumes that the RBA will pause its rate cuts until its next meeting in November, when there will be more inflation data. In contrast, the market is digesting expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by another 125 basis points, and may cut interest rates at each of the next five meetings.

Hamas Condemns US Government's Double Standards, Directly Responsible for Escalating Gaza Conflict - In the early morning hours of the 16th local time, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement strongly condemning US President Trump's remarks regarding Hamas' transfer of detainees, calling them "blatant favoritism toward Israel" and "a manifestation of double standards," completely ignoring Israel's massive attacks on the Gaza Strip. The statement cited Israel's attack on Qatar and the attempted assassination of a Hamas negotiating delegation during discussions on a US ceasefire proposal as evidence that the Netanyahu government is obstructing the peace process. The statement criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for "destroying any possibility of reaching a ceasefire and personnel exchange agreement," while the US government knowingly supported Netanyahu's policies. The statement claimed that the US government bears direct responsibility for the escalation of the conflict through its support and misguided policies.

["Macau cars going north" continues to heat up, and the number of vehicles registered with Gongbei Customs has exceeded 50,000.] As the "Macau cars going north" policy is further implemented, as of September 16, 2025, according to Gongbei Customs statistics, a total of more than 50,000 Macau-licensed vehicles have successfully applied for customs registration for "Macau cars going north." The "Macau cars going north" policy has been implemented since January 2023. Unlike the policy for vehicles with Guangdong and Macau license plates, it is more open to ordinary Macau residents. As long as they are over 18 years old and hold a valid pass, they can apply for a "Macau car going north" license plate for one Macau motor vehicle they own. According to statistics, since the implementation of the policy, the peak monthly registration volume of "Macau cars going north" vehicles has reached 3,709. The leap in data bears witness to the progress of the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. (CCTV News)

[UBS: BYD Reiterates "Buy" with a Target Price of HK$160] UBS published a report stating that since BYD (01211.HK) reported weaker-than-expected second-quarter earnings three weeks ago, investor sentiment has been generally bearish. Typical concerns include market share loss to smaller electric vehicle manufacturers and profit pressure from high fixed costs. The report states that BYD, as the world's second-largest EV/ESS battery manufacturer, sees increasing international sales, and believes its stock price is at a bottoming-out point. The bank reiterated its "Buy" rating on BYD with a target price of HK$160. Beyond valuation, several factors could trigger a re-rating of BYD. UBS expects BYD's per-vehicle net profit to recover from the second-quarter low in the third and fourth quarters as the company adjusts its cost structure and benefits from the peak season starting in September. Overseas sales are projected to achieve further high double-digit growth through 2026, driven by the opening of overseas factories, the expansion of its distribution network, and increased brand awareness. If overseas sales increase by 500,000 units, it could bring in RMB 10 billion in incremental profit.

[Chinese scientists successfully test a new anti-aging injection] A Chinese research team has successfully completed testing of an experimental injection that can delay aging. The research results have been officially published in the internationally renowned journal Cell. According to Cell, the new agent activates the human immune system to precisely eliminate senescent cells. Although these cells have lost the ability to divide, they continue to persist and accumulate in tissues, leading to functional disorders in the body. By implanting genetically engineered anti-aging human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs), the research team achieved significant rejuvenation effects. According to research data, during the 44-week trial, subjects showed improvements in many aspects: brain function, memory, muscle tissue, reproductive function, and several internal organ indicators were improved. External signs of anti-aging were also observed, with the subjects' skin and hair showing significant signs of repair. Scientists estimate that this rejuvenation effect is equivalent to reversing biological age by approximately seven years. Researchers emphasize that this research is still in its early stages and that larger-scale clinical trials are needed to further verify the effectiveness and safety of this treatment.

[Australia's slowing fiscal expansion may ease productivity woes] Australia's productivity decline may not be as severe as it appears, and the "slowdown in the rapid expansion momentum" of the government sector may be the key to improving productivity performance. Economist James McIntyre pointed out in a research report on Tuesday that the main drivers of recent productivity weakness have come from the "significant structural expansion" of the mining industry and non-market or government-dominated economic sectors such as education and health care. Australia's productivity growth level ranks last among developed countries - this is crucial for improving living standards and has become a major concern for policymakers. The Reserve Bank of Australia lowered its medium-term productivity growth forecast from 1% to 0.7% last month, bringing it in line with the 20-year average level of non-farm productivity growth. McIntyre expects that by controlling the growth of spending on social programs such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the overall expansion of government services will be slowed. He said this would free up resources for the recovery of private sector activity and comprehensively improve overall economic productivity indicators over the next decade.
