Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen held steady through the New York trading session on Monday, after a sharp advance earlier in the day that sparked speculation authorities may have intervened to support the currency again after last week's coordinated action between the US and Japan. Meantime, US and Japanese officials warned investors they're determined to keep defending the yen after jolting currency markets with their first joint intervention in 15 years. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Shusuke Yamada, Chief Japan FX and Rates Strategist at BofA Global Research.
 
Plus - President Donald Trump said his latest offer of talks is a "last chance" for Iran after he called off what he said was a major attack on the Islamic Republic. Iran denied it was negotiating with the US, but said talks with Oman to get more ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz are making progress. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Mona Yacoubian, CSIS Director and Middle East Program Senior Adviser.

Yen on Watch, Trump: Talks Are Iran's Last Chance

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen advanced sharply on Monday amid high alert in markets. This comes after Japan confirmed its first joint intervention with the US in currency markets in 15 years and warned that it was ready to act again, after the yen last week slid to a four-decade low. Japan’s Finance Ministry intervened in the market on Friday in coordination with the Treasury Department. US President Donald Trump earlier said the US joined the currency-market intervention as a sign of friendship with Japan, saying that he expects Washington to reap a financial benefit from helping the ally. Separately, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X that the US stepped in to help fight “disorderly” movements in the yen and is ready to keep helping Japan. Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi-Stroud Watts spoke to Louise Loo, Head of Asia Economics at Oxford Economics.
 
Amid US intervention with the yen in Japan, bond investors say the risk of a deeper Treasury rout is rising as Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh keeps investors in the dark about how officials will respond to the evolving economy. The Treasury market is signaling that Warsh's inflation-fighting credibility is eroding after he declined to outline how he plans to curb price pressures when policymakers left interest rates unchanged last week. The result is steeper borrowing costs for the government, homeowners and companies, with the rate on the 30-year Treasury at a 19-year high. Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi-Stroud Watts spoke to Julia Wang, North Asia CIO for Nomura International Wealth Management.

Big Tech Earnings Roll In, Treasury Yields Spike After Fed Decision

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
SK Hynix Inc. earmarked at least $31 billion in capital spending this year after reporting a six-fold surge in quarterly profit, a record outlay that coincides with growing fears about overinvestment in AI capacity. SK Hynix said it expects its capital investments to rise around 50% to at least 45 trillion won ($31 billion). It posted margins of more than 80% for the June quarter — a high watermark — because of the endemic memory shortages that have helped raise prices it charges customers like Apple Inc. and Nintendo Co. Yet the Korean company's shares fell 11% in Seoul Wednesday, reflecting both the sky-high expectations that surround the AI industry's linchpins and the growing concerns that big tech firms such as Meta Platforms Inc. are building more data centers than they need. Korea's benchmark KOSPI fell for a second straight day. We speak to Winnie Hsu, Bloomberg's Asia Equities Reporter.
 
And for more analysis on SK Hynix earnings, Bloomberg TV hosts Yvonne Man and David Ingles spoke to SK Kim, Senior Analyst at Daiwa Capital Market Korea.

SK Hynix Profit Misses Investors Lofty AI Expectations

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
A selloff in global semiconductor stocks deepened, as investor sentiment continued to worsen over the sustainability of the artificial intelligence boom. The losses point to deepening concerns over crowded equity positioning and rising corporate debt levels as the AI buildout progresses, with Nvidia Corp.'s fresh round of deals and technological advances from Chinese peers adding pressure. We speak to Lauren Cassidy, Founder & Chief Investment Officer of Founder ETFs.
 
Plus - Oil extended a steep decline after President Donald Trump said that the US and Iran were engaged in talks to try to end the Middle East conflict, with the two sides continuing to hold off on attacks.

Selloff in Chipmakers Deepens, Oil Extends Decline As Iran Talks Gain Traction

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Oil dropped, stocks and bonds rose as the US and Iran refrained from retaliatory strikes, easing concerns over potential disruptions to Middle East energy supplies after a recent escalation in the conflict.
 
Three days of Group-of-Seven central bank decisions begin with the Fed on Wednesday, followed by the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan. While no changes are expected in interest rate policy, officials are likely to emphasize vigilance over the inflationary impact of higher energy prices. Bloomberg TV host Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Diana Mousina, Deputy Chief Economist at AMP.
 
Plus - Investors are looking to Monday's trading debut of CXMT Corp. to help renew a rally in Chinese semiconductor stocks that has been on pause ahead of the memory giant's initial public offering. The chip-heavy Star 50 Index fell into a bear market this month as funds repositioned for the IPO, which values CXMT at $86 billion, making it China's largest-ever chip offering. Still, the valuation at about one‑tenth that of larger rival SK Hynix Inc. is seen leaving ample room for CXMT to run. It's expected to perform well given an IPO that was hundreds of times oversubscribed and that listings on the STAR Board face no daily percentage limit for the first five trading sessions. Given CXMT's heavy state backing as a key component of China's drive for tech self-sufficiency, a big jump could provide a halo effect for other local chip stocks. Bloomberg TV host Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Rolf Bulk, Head of Semiconductors & Infrastructure at Futurum Equities.
