- ★★★★★ Fed Chair Warsh delivers the keynote speech at Jackson Hole (Beijing time 22:00); markets will closely watch his comments on inflation and the policy path;
- US releases Chicago PMI, preliminary Nonfarm Employment Benchmark Revision, and final University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment.
Key themes this week: NVIDIA earnings will test the sustainability of AI demand; Warsh’s first Jackson Hole appearance will offer clues on the policy framework; PCE data and retail earnings will gauge inflation stickiness and consumer resilience. Solid guidance plus a neutral tone from Warsh could support continued strength in growth stocks. Hawkish data or comments risk lifting tightening expectations and pressuring high-valuation sectors. Volatility is expected to be medium-to-high.

Report: TSMC to Raise Wafer Foundry Prices by 3% to 6% Starting January Next Year, Order Visibility Extended to 2030
According to media reports, TSMC's advanced and high-priced processes such as 2nm and 3nm have seen the largest price increases; mature and specialty processes are subject to individual negotiation based on products, capacity utilization, and customer conditions. Currently, TSMC's 8-inch fabs have a capacity utilization rate exceeding 100%, and processes below 45nm are at full capacity. The construction of AI data centers is not only driving demand for GPU and HBM, but also boosting orders for mature processes such as PMIC, MCU, and analog ICs.
U.S. Treasury plans to repurchase up to $6 billion in long-term bonds, 30-year yield hits highest since 2007
This is the second round of enhanced long-term bond buybacks by the Treasury, this time focusing on 20- to 30-year government bonds. After the announcement of the planned upper limit, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds continued to rise, at one point exceeding 5.4%. In the first round of enhanced buybacks two weeks ago, the upper buyback target was also $6 billion, which was lower than some market participants had expected, and the actual buyback amounted to only $5.2 billion due to insufficient competitive bidding, according to the Treasury.

Multiple Factors Weigh In, Intensifying U.S. Treasury Sell-Off! 5-Year Yield Breaks 5% for the First Time Since 2007, 10-Year Yield Surpasses 5.1%
The stronger-than-expected U.S. September PMI, international crude oil prices returning above $100, and Fed governors signaling possible rate hikes have all negatively impacted the bond market. The disappointing 5-year Treasury auction has further worsened market sentiment. The psychological barrier of a 5% yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury is losing its significance as a "ceiling," with the market now starting to discuss a potential 6%. In addition to rate hike expectations, fiscal and supply pressures are also driving up long-term bond yields.
