【Headlines Summary】
1. U.S. stocks fell across the board on Tuesday (13th), as memory chip stocks were sold off and large banks reported mixed earnings, dragging down the broader market. The Dow Jones一度 rose over 460 points but later turned to close nearly 180 points lower, ending three consecutive days of gains; the S&P 500 was nearly flat, while the Nasdaq dropped about 0.2%. Investors are also awaiting the U.S. September inflation data to assess the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path. The Dow closed down 180.45 points, or 0.35%, at 51,670.1; the S&P 500 fell 1.79 points, or 0.02%, at 7,805.45; the Nasdaq dropped 41.52 points, or 0.15%, at 27,204.38. The China Golden Dragon Index opened at 5,739, up 8 points. The Nikkei Index opened at 67,904, up 127 points.
2. Iran has significantly increased attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the recovery of oil exports from the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Houthi militants launched a new round of attacks on Saudi Arabia, reportedly hitting Saudi Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, Eastern Province. Saudi Arabia reported to OPEC that its crude oil output grew by one-third in September, but remains far below pre-Iran conflict levels.
3. New York Fed President Williams said he believes it is more appropriate for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates once more this year, but currently expects no further hikes through 2027, and anticipates inflation will slow significantly next year, gradually approaching the Fed's 2% target. Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields mainly reflects strong economic growth, not rising inflation expectations, emphasizing that inflation expectations remain firmly anchored.
4. Chicago Fed President Goolsbee warned that inflationary pressures from the AI investment boom are spreading beyond the tech sector, suggesting the U.S. economy may be shifting from supply-driven price increases to overall demand overheating, increasing pressure on the Fed to tighten monetary policy.
5. China is about to release its September inflation and trade data. Driven by rising energy costs and price hikes in AI-related products, the market expects PPI to post its largest gain in over four years; CPI is also expected to accelerate. Export data is expected to remain strong, supported by global demand for AI hardware.
6. The EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs stated that trade imbalances with China extend beyond the automotive sector, and the EU will seek more agreements in the future. Chinese state media said that reaching an arrangement on hybrid vehicles does not mean China lacks countermeasures, warning the EU not to introduce new measures.
7. NVIDIA (US.NVDA) plans to add $2 billion in investment in Europe, with CEO Jensen Huang urging Europe to accelerate its AI deployment.
8. Apple (US.AAPL) unveiled new smart home products on Tuesday (13th), launching the HomeView smart home display and the new Apple TV 4K, both centered around the AI assistant Siri AI, scheduled to launch on November 13. Both products are priced at $299.
9. The securities regulator has taken action against two groups suspected of manipulating IPOs, aiming to create a false or misleading appearance of demand for IPO shares, freezing nearly $4.7 billion, and ordering Cha Ba Dao (02555) to suspend trading before yesterday's trading session.
10. State-owned water tourism service provider Slender West Lake Cultural Tourism (06157) is conducting its IPO from today until next Tuesday (20th), planning a global offering of 44.76 million shares, with about 10% offered to the Hong Kong public. The share price ranges from HK$3.92 to HK$5.07, raising up to HK$227 million. The lot size is 1,000 shares, with an entry price of HK$5,121.14. The company plans to list on next Friday (23rd), with Everbright Securities International as the sole sponsor and no cornerstone investors.
