Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
The yen's sharp drop after the Federal Reserve's hawkish hike is raising the stakes for the Bank of Japan's policy meeting Friday, with strategists warning the currency could weaken further unless officials convince markets that more tightening is coming.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
SpaceX stock fell after the company disclosed higher-than-expected spending on its artificial intelligence business, dampening an inaugural quarterly report that broadly surpassed Wall Street forecasts. Shares of Elon Musk's rocket, satellite and AI conglomerate tumbled as much as 8.8% in US postmarket trading after it said capital spending jumped to about $18.4 billion in the second quarter.

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 - 1879 - Yen on Watch, Trump: Talks Are Iran's Last Chance
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.

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 - 1878 - First US-Japan Joint Yen Intervention in 15 Years Sparks Advance
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.

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 - 1872 - SK Hynix Profit Misses Investors Lofty AI Expectations
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.

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 - 1871 - Selloff in Chipmakers Deepens, Oil Extends Decline As Iran Talks Gain Traction
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.

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 - 1870 - Oil Falls as Iran Tensions Ease, Traders Eye Central Bank Decisions, CXMT Trading Debut
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.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Intel Corp. delivered a revenue forecast that shattered Wall Street estimates as booming data center spending fuels a long-awaited turnaround. Sales will be $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion in the third quarter, the company said Thursday. Even the low end of that range would easily clear the $15.1 billion average analyst estimate. Meantime, Stocks and bonds fell as doubts over returns from billions of dollars spent on artificial intelligence coincided with a surge in oil prices that rekindled inflation concerns. For more on the tech story, Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Dan Ives, Partner and Senior Managing Director at Yorkville Ives.

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 - 1866 - Big Tech Earnings Kick Off
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Alphabet Inc. again raised already sky-high estimates for capital spending in 2026, telling investors that expenses may top $200 billion as it races to build the computing power necessary to fuel its artificial intelligence ambitions. The Google parent projected capital expenditures of $195 billion to $205 billion in 2026, up from a previous estimate of as much as $190 billion, above the roughly $186 billion that analysts had estimated. The higher guidance reflects the company's efforts to accelerate its expansion of AI computing capacity and book more revenue from cloud-computing clients.
Tesla Inc.'s profit tumbled despite a strong quarter for its automotive business, pressuring Elon Musk's plan to refocus the electric vehicle maker on artificial intelligence and robots. Spending on the ambitious initiatives surged to $5.8 billion in the second quarter, resulting in Tesla's first cash burn in two years. The company still expects capital expenditures in excess of $25 billion this year, and executives are now predicting even larger outlays going forward.
"This is a massive capex year," Musk said late Wednesday on a conference call to discuss quarterly results. "We should be spending on capex as fast as we can — spend as fast as we can without it being too wasteful." We speak to Shay Boloor, Chief Market Strategist.Plus - Asian shares advanced as regional chipmakers gained on expectations they will benefit from billions of dollars flowing into the artificial intelligence buildout.

The weak US inflation numbers and a strong start to the earnings season have revived the AI trade, boosting technology stocks after a recent bout of volatility.

Brent climbed as much as 2.8% to $85.64 a barrel. The commodity jumped 9.6% on Monday — its biggest gain since May 2020 — after President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and demanded a 20% reimbursement on all other cargo shipped through the waterway.

For analysis on the week ahead, highlighted by the US-consumer price report and two days of testimony from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, Bloomberg TV Host Shery Ahn spoke to Frederic Neumann, Chief Asia Economist at HSBC.
Oil rose and Treasuries fell after the US launched another round of strikes against Iran, reviving concern that higher energy prices will keep inflation elevated and interest rates higher for longer. Brent crude climbed 4.4% to $79.35 a barrel as conflicting claims over the status of the Strait of Hormuz fueled speculation about potential supply disruptions. Treasuries dropped across the curve with the yield on the rate-sensitive two-year note climbing three basis points to 4.24%, the highest since February 2025.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
The US military struck Iran for the second straight day, an escalation of violence that threatens to strain an already fragile ceasefire. The attacks came just hours after President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Turkey said the US would probably target Iran again. The US launched attacks on Tuesday and revoked a waiver allowing new sales of Iranian oil in response to attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz that the administration blamed on the Islamic Republic. Oil extended its gains. We spoke to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader.
Plus - China's consumer prices rose slower than expected and factory inflation showed signs of peaking, after a pullback in commodity costs with an easing of tensions over Iran last month. The consumer-price index decelerated to 1% in June from a year earlier, compared with a gain of 1.2% in the previous month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists was 1.1%. Producer inflation accelerated slightly to 4.1% from a year ago, matching forecasts. On a month-on-month basis, factory prices declined 0.3% from May, their first drop since July 2025.

The moves came after US benchmarks fell on Tuesday, with a gauge of chip stocks dropping more than 4%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.8%. For more on the market action, we spoke to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.
Plus - The US launched airstrikes in Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed it to sell oil globally, further imperiling a peace agreement after a series of attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The US Treasury Department announced it was barring new sales of Iranian oil after July 7, a key incentive intended to get Tehran to abide by a deal that calls for reopening the strait. The American actions marked the most serious threat yet to the interim agreement signed between the two countries' leaders on June 17, and threatened to scuttle negotiations aimed at achieving a permanent peace.

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 - 1845 - Best Quarter for Chip Stocks, Yen Steadies
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Chip stocks posted their best quarter ever, extending an extraordinary start to the year driven by insatiable demand for artificial intelligence equipment. But after recent jitters sent the stocks tumbling, investors are wondering how much further the rally can go. "The story of the past six months is the market going all-in on AI infrastructure, but now people are asking if this is sustainable and if we should be worried," said CJ Muse, senior managing director and technology analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index jumped 3.9% on Tuesday to bring its second-quarter gain to 88%, its best quarter ever. It soared 101% in the first half, putting it on track for its best year in its history. In contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 28% in the second quarter, while the S&P 500 Index rose 15%. It was both of their best quarters since 2020, but the performances were dwarfed by the surge in chip stocks. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.
Plus - The yen traded around 162.65 per dollar after falling to a 40-year low this week.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
The yen slid to its weakest level against the dollar since 1986, a milestone that will generate unease in Japan and put traders on high alert for authorities wading into the market. The currency depreciated 0.2% to touch 161.98 versus the greenback in New York trading overnight, breaching the 161.95 mark touched in July 2024 during an earlier campaign by Japan to shore up the exchange rate. The last time the yen traded at this level it was barreling in the opposite direction, midway through a massive and years-long rally that followed a currency accord engineered by the US. The world was a different place — Japan's asset bubble was still forming, the Soviet Union was cleaning up after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and Top Gun had just launched Tom Cruise toward the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom. We speak to David Finnerty, Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Asian stocks hovered near record highs in holiday-thinned trading as optimism that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will restore oil flows and curb inflation pressures buoyed risk appetite. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed after five straight days of gains, while the chip-heavy Kospi was the top performer in the region, jumping 2.6%. A gauge of the sector in the US surged more than 6% to an all-time high, led by Intel Corp., after President Donald Trump said the company would work with Apple Inc. to design and manufacture semiconductors in the country.

He downplayed concerns Iran could eventually impose tolls on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would turn the crucial transport chokepoint — widely considered international waters — into a moneymaker for Tehran.

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh vowed to restore price stability following his first policy meeting since taking the helm of the US central bank, after officials left interest rates unchanged and signaled growing support for rate hikes this year.

Officials "are unambiguous and unanimous. This committee will deliver price stability."

Another nine expected no move or a cut. We speak to Jeffrey Roach, Chief Economist for LPL Financial..
