[Inspection time shortened by 90%, "Cross-border Green Channel China-Vietnam Direct" regular transportation starts today] On August 1, the "Cross-border Green Channel China-Vietnam Direct" - China-Vietnam GMS cross-border direct + fresh agricultural products green channel "One Code Pass" regular transportation departure event was held in Honghe, Yunnan, injecting strong impetus into deepening economic and trade cooperation with ASEAN countries. The "Cross-border Green Pass China-Vietnam Direct" initiative utilizes a "Green Pass One Code + Cross-border One Lock" model. Exported goods transit through the Honghe Bonded Area, with the customs clearance process pre-positioned at the customs supervision facility within Honghe Prefecture (Mengzi Customs). Customs personnel verify the information, and the system automatically generates a customs verification record. Customs Green Pass vehicles can travel normally on expressways within Yunnan Province. Upon exit, they apply for Green Pass inspection and indicate that customs verification has been completed. Toll station inspectors use Yunnan's "One Code" to scan the transaction QR code generated by the exit toll lane software to obtain the vehicle's passage information. The system retrieves and links the customs verification record based on the license plate number. After confirmation, clearance is released in seconds. Upon arrival at the port, GMS cross-border direct vehicles will be swiftly exited through the "Green Channel." Inspection time has been significantly reduced by 90%, saving 30% in personnel costs. The implementation of this innovative model has greatly improved cross-border transportation efficiency, reduced business operating costs, and minimized the loss of fresh agricultural products during transportation.

[Innoscience responds to cooperation with NVIDIA: It is in the testing phase and there are no substantial orders yet] Innoscience's stock price rose sharply in the afternoon, and at one point it rose by more than 60% during the trading session.

However, the cooperation is still in the testing phase, and no substantial orders have been generated yet. Because the company is in the stage of publishing its semi-annual report, it is inconvenient to respond to the prospects and impact of this cooperation.

[The dollar stabilized after hitting a two-month high overnight, but it still faces risks] The US dollar stabilized against a basket of currencies, having risen to a two-month high overnight. Roberto Mialich of UniCredit Investment Institute said in a report that the reasons that have led to the weakness of the US dollar for most of this year remain in place and continue to pose risks. The global foreign exchange strategist said: "The factors behind the weakness of the US dollar so far remain in place, including US policies, pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and pressure on Fed Chairman Powell to step down, as well as concerns about the US budget deficit and rising US debt." The DXY dollar index was last flat at 99.98, having earlier touched 100.145.

[Kyodo News: Japan plans another record-breaking minimum wage hike] Kyodo News reported on Friday that a panel of Japan's Ministry of Labor plans to recommend raising the national average minimum wage by about 6% this fiscal year, which would be the largest increase since 2002. The agency added that the proposed hourly increase of about 1,118 yen (7.43 U.S. dollars) would exceed last year's 5% increase and be the largest increase since the current system was implemented, but did not cite the source. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's government set a goal last year to increase the average minimum wage by 42% to 1,500 yen per hour by 2020.

Gold Prices Under Pressure on Weekly Charts but Finding Temporary Support, Market Focus on Non-Farm Payroll Data: 1. Spot gold briefly touched the 3,300 mark on Friday but has since pared gains, fluctuating around 3,290. This week's cumulative decline remains at 1.2%, potentially marking its third consecutive weekly decline. The US dollar index briefly climbed to its highest level since May 29th, continuing to suppress the performance of dollar-denominated gold. Analysts point out that gold prices have fluctuated between $3,250 and $3,450 for nearly two months and are currently moving toward the lower end of this range, potentially facing a directional shift. 2. A mix of bullish and bearish policy factors: The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and downplayed expectations of a September rate cut, reinforcing the dollar's strength. However, trade tensions sparked by the US imposition of tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on various countries are providing safe-haven support for gold prices. Marex analysts suggest that if tariff negotiations falter and trade frictions escalate, this could reignite gold demand. 3. Non-Farm Payroll Data is a key short-term indicator: The market is closely watching the US non-farm payroll report, due to be released this evening, with an expected increase of 110,000 jobs in July. The data will affect the market's expectations of the Fed's policy path. If the data shows a significant cooling of the job market, it may ease the pressure of the US dollar on gold; conversely, strong data may accelerate the gold price to break through the lower end of the range.

USD/CNH retreated from its 100-day moving average in early Friday trading, with the market awaiting guidance from the non-farm payroll data. 1. The USD/CNH pair retreated from its 100-day moving average (7.2219) to 7.2165, suggesting a pause in bullish activity at key resistance. Market analysts suggest the exchange rate may find support at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 7.2006, which could attract bargain-hunting. 2. Today's S&P China Manufacturing PMI showed contracting activity in July. Combined with the Chinese government's crackdown on involuted competition in the new energy sector, this could put short-term pressure on RMB demand. Policy news suggests that sectors such as photovoltaics, batteries, and electric vehicles will face stricter regulations to curb disorderly price wars. 49. 3. Market focus shifted to the evening's US non-farm payroll report, with estimates of 110,000 new jobs added in July and a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. If the data is weaker than expected, it may strengthen the Fed's interest rate cut expectations, dragging down the US dollar and supporting the RMB; conversely, strong data may push the US dollar to continue its recent rise, further testing the resilience of the RMB. 4. From a technical perspective, if the exchange rate effectively falls below the 7.20 mark, it may fall to the support near 7.18; conversely, if it stabilizes above the 100-day moving average, it may resume the upward trend and challenge the 7.23-7.25 area.

The factors behind the weakness of the US dollar so far, including US policies, the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts, and concerns about rising US budget deficits and debt, still exist.

Citigroup Raises Microsoft's Price Target to $680, Maintaining its Top Mega-Cap Stocks Citigroup issued a report stating that Microsoft's fourth-quarter performance exceeded expectations across the board, further highlighting Azure's accelerated growth and validating Microsoft's leadership in market share gains and AI monetization. While Azure's growth acceleration of 4 percentage points on a $75 billion annualized revenue base is impressive, even more impressive is the drivers (demand from a broad range of large customers, not just capacity timing), suggesting more sustained strength entering the current fiscal year, particularly with accelerating commercial order growth and the positive revisions to preliminary guidance for the current quarter. The bank has again raised its Azure growth forecast for the current fiscal year by 2 percentage points. With more capacity coming online, the optimistic scenario of Azure growing over 40% year-over-year in the current fiscal year looks more plausible. Microsoft's leadership in generative AI, combined with its view of accelerating revenue and profit growth, maintains its position as the bank's top mega-cap stock. The bank has raised its price target to $680, representing a forward P/E ratio of 43 times, with a "Buy" rating.

[10%+40% US imposes huge tariffs on Brazilian goods. Brazil: We will not compromise our sovereignty.] On July 31st, local time, US President Trump signed an executive order on "reciprocal tariffs," placing Brazil in the first tier of 10% tariffs.

According to another executive order signed by Trump on July 30th, the United States will impose a 40% ad valorem tariff on Brazilian products exported to the United States starting August 6th, but Brazilian aircraft, nuts, orange juice, and some metal products will be exempted. According to data provided by Brazilian Vice President Alckmin, approximately 35.9% of Brazilian products exported to the United States will actually be subject to an additional tariff of 50%, a combination of the 10% "reciprocal tariff" and the 40% ad valorem tariff.

[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.

[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."

[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.

[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.

[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.

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.

Major Asia-Pacific stock markets fell across the board on Friday, pressured by the new US tariffs and weak economic data.
