【HEADLINE SUMMARY】
1. After the Xi-Trump meeting, both China and the U.S. released lists of outcomes from the summit, with both sides mentioning agreement to build a "constructive strategic stability relationship between China and the U.S. based on respect, fairness, and reciprocity," establish a U.S.-China AI dialogue, and reach a mutual tariff reduction arrangement worth approximately 30 billion U.S. dollars. The list released by the White House also includes advancing the Trade Council and Investment Council, establishing an Agricultural Market Access Working Group, continuing consultations on rare earths and other critical mineral supplies, and China's commitment to import at least 10 million tons of U.S. coal in both 2027 and 2028.
2. Trump stated he will meet President Xi again during the APEC summit in China in November and the G20 meeting in Miami in December. U.S. Ambassador to China R. Nicholas Burns said U.S. policy toward Taiwan remains unchanged after the summit, and consultations on arms sales to Taiwan will continue.
3. The U.S. President rejected a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the deal Iran seeks might have been acceptable to the U.S. about a year ago, and negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are expected to resume this week. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said there is currently no reason to re-engage with the Trump administration and vowed firm resistance against any aggression.
4. The yield on U.S. 30-year Treasury bonds briefly surpassed 5.5% last Friday, causing markets to lose their reference benchmark; market analysts warn yields could continue to rise.
5. All three major U.S. stock indices rose Friday (25th), driven by gains in AI-related stocks and falling oil prices, improving market risk appetite. Microsoft's stock surged over 3%, becoming one of the main drivers of the market rally. Investors are also closely watching follow-up developments from the China-U.S. summit and news on U.S.-Iran talks. The Dow closed up 478.64 points, or 0.93%, at 51,828.62 points; the S&P 500 rose 39.28 points, or 0.51%, to 7,743.41 points; the Nasdaq gained 129.34 points, or 0.48%, to 27,068.72 points. The Nikkei opened at 66,552, up 188 points.
6. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said economic pressure is working, with Iran having only 15 million barrels of oil left at sea, which may be delivered to China in the final batch within two weeks.
7. It is reported the U.S. government is discussing multiple measures to curb soaring diesel prices, including suspending the federal diesel excise tax and relaxing restrictions on the sale of tax-exempt red diesel, typically reserved for agricultural and off-road uses. Trump said he is "very seriously" considering banning diesel exports.
8. U.S. consumer confidence in September fell to a four-month low, as households' concerns about rising prices and the economic outlook intensified. A survey released by the University of Michigan showed the final September consumer sentiment index was 48.1, lower than August's 51.7, but slightly higher than the preliminary reading of 47.8 released earlier in the month.
9. U.S. core capital goods orders in August rose 1.6%, exceeding market expectations, continuing the strong momentum of capital investment driven by AI-related spending this year.
10. Solidigm, the U.S. NAND flash memory and SSD business under SK Hynix (US.SKHY), is considering an initial public offering (IPO) in the U.S. as early as 2027, with a potential valuation of up to 150 billion U.S. dollars, according to three sources cited by Reuters.
11. It is reported that the Chinese government has signaled it may allow companies such as Alibaba and ByteDance to purchase NVIDIA's (US.NVDA) high-end graphics processing chip RTX Pro 5500, released this month.
12. Derivatives Clearing House under HKEX (00388) will accept Chinese government bonds, policy bank bonds, and offshore bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance as eligible non-cash collateral starting November.
