SK Hynix Chairman Choi Tae-won Warns: 2027 Could Bring the Most Severe Storage Chip Shortage Ever. Customer orders are currently close to doubling, but the construction cycle for new production capacity is at least 4–5 years, making the supply-demand gap unsolvable in the short term. Semiconductor demand related to AI is expected to grow by 60%–100%. SK Hynix is already considering a joint venture to build factories to diversify risk, while major players such as Google and Microsoft have gone to South Korea to secure long-term orders. The storage chip price-hike wave has not ended yet, and tight memory supply could persist until 2030. The relevant sectors are worth continued attention.

SanDisk (storage chip) shares surged more than 7% in a single day on August 14, jumping over 35% in the past five trading days and hitting a new intra-period high. JPMorgan upgraded its rating from Neutral to Buy and set a target price of $2,250. SanDisk’s trading value recently even climbed to the top spot among U.S. stocks, highlighting investors’ strong focus on the memory storage sector.
Meanwhile, U.S. retail sales fell 0.6% month-over-month in July, the largest decline in more than a year, signaling a clear slowdown in consumer momentum. Bank of America warned that the national debt and long-term Treasury yields have continued to rise, which could bring this current U.S. bull market to an end. Although the S&P 500 index is still up for three straight weeks, internal market momentum has begun to diverge.

According to a report by Decpost on August 12, the state of Hawaii has officially passed a comprehensive ban on cryptocurrency ATMs, which will take effect on October 1, 2026. It will become the fourth U.S. state to implement such a ban (previously, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana had already done so). The law is intended to curb the surge in cryptocurrency ATM scams, with the value of related complaints continuing to rise.
This regulatory development reflects the increasing attention U.S. states are paying to the risks of crypto ATMs, and it sets higher requirements for industry compliance planning. Investors should pay attention to differences in policies across states and carefully assess related risks.

SanDisk (SNDK.US) holds an Investor Day in 2026, releases FY2028–2030 financial guidance, and expects year-over-year revenue to grow in the high teens to low double digits (about 10%–15%).

More importantly, the company expects that by 2030 the enterprise data center flash memory market will reach 1.2 zettabytes, with AI inference driving storage demand as the core narrative. After the news broke, SanDisk surged more than 13% on Thursday, extended the rally with another gain of 7.39% on Friday, and climbed more than 35% over the week, leading the storage sector. JPMorgan also upgraded its rating to “Buy” and raised its target price to $2,250.

According to a Reuters report on August 14, the Bank of Japan is considering a rate hike as early as September and may accelerate the pace of subsequent tightening. Swap market pricing shows that the probability of a September rate hike has risen to 74%-80%, representing the most pressing rate-hike pressure since Japan exited negative interest rates in 2024. The USD/JPY pair plunged by more than 200 points at one point, approaching the 160 intervention line. If a September hike takes place, it would be the third rate increase by the Bank of Japan within the year, with the tightening pace being the fastest since 1989. $USDJPY is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
On August 13, Russia’s State Duma passed the country’s first comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation in its second and third readings, establishing a formal legal framework for digital asset trading, custody, and mining activities. Industry analysis suggests that this move indicates the Russian regulator’s stance has shifted from experimental trial acceptance to institutionalized adoption, which may open the door for institutional participation and drive the emergence of cryptocurrency trading pairs denominated in rubles. After the news broke, $BTC and major altcoins saw only limited short-term fluctuations, while smart contract tokens such as $ETH rose slightly. The trend toward regulatory compliance continues; it is recommended to keep monitoring policy developments in various countries. #加密货币 #俄罗斯 #Crypto #For informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice#

The standoff between the United States and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz escalated abruptly. On August 14, Trump said he would announce the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory. The U.S. military is considering implementing a maritime blockade and forming a multinational unmanned drone task force. As a result, international oil prices surged sharply that day—Brent crude closed at $88.52 per barrel, and New York light crude rose 1.42% to $82.40 per barrel. The Strait of Hormuz accounts for about one-fifth of the world’s total seaborne oil shipments. If geopolitical tensions persist, global energy supply and the demand for risk-hedging involving dollar-denominated assets could both face significant disruption. $USOIL $BRENT for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice

【Crypto Market Update】On August 12, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) disclosed that it sold another 1,690 Bitcoins, with the sale price below its average cost basis—an unusual market cash-out operation for the company. The day before, the U.S. Senate announced that it would postpone the vote on the “CLARITY Act” to September 15. News that there has been no substantive near-term progress on the regulatory front has made market sentiment more cautious. Currently, $BTC is trading in a range around $65,000. The delayed vote on the CLARITY Act has again pushed back the policy catalyst that institutions are looking for. With large, bitcoin-holding institutions continuing to sell, and the regulatory pathway still unclear, near-term long-versus-short competition has intensified.

The U.S. Treasury on Thursday (August 13) auctioned $25 billion in 30-year notes. The winning yield rose to 5.216%, the highest since 2001, indicating pressure on demand for long-dated U.S. Treasuries. The 30-year yield is currently around 5.27%, staying at a high level. Rising long-end rates increase corporate financing costs and the stock discount rate, putting pressure on overvalued technology growth stocks, and also making the market focus more on U.S. fiscal sustainability. $TLT $QQQ is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange announced on August 14 that in the second quarter of 2026, China recorded a current account surplus of 133.37 billion yuan; of which the merchandise trade surplus was 190.65 billion yuan, the services trade deficit was 35.84 billion yuan, the primary income deficit was 25.72 billion yuan, and the secondary income surplus was 42.8 billion yuan. The capital and financial account (including net errors and omissions for the quarter) recorded a deficit of 133.37 billion yuan, while inbound direct investment into China remained net inflow. The continuation of the surplus pattern reflects the resilience of foreign trade and may provide some support for market expectations regarding the RMB exchange rate. $USDCNY is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
In a filing with the U.S. SEC on August 13 in U.S. Eastern Time, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) completed a $4.75 billion issuance of senior unsecured notes, setting a new record for the company’s U.S. dollar debt offerings.

U.S. July PPI data showed inflation continued to cool; combined with a fall in international oil prices, market expectations for further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve weakened, and risk appetite rebounded. As a result, on Friday (August 14), all three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher: the S&P 500 closed at a record high again, the Nasdaq rose 0.81%, and Tesla and the storage sector led the gains. If the easing in inflation continues, it may help relieve valuation pressure, but corporate earnings and the interest-rate path remain key factors to watch going forward. $TSLA is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
The US Dollar Index fell 0.3% in New York trading on Aug. 14, closing at 99.667. The US dollar weakened broadly against a basket of major currencies.

The dollar also slipped versus the Swiss franc, the Canadian dollar, and the Swedish krona. Broad dollar weakness may reflect an increase in market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut and changes in risk appetite; in the short term, this could provide support to non-US currencies. $DXY $EURUSD $USDJPY are for information only and do not constitute investment advice.
