What happened in the past 24 hours｜August 25, 2026
【Highlights of the Day】
1. In this batch of publicly released items, both export-oriented services and equipment orders have provided verifiable data: service exports in the first half grew 17.6% year on year; in addition, one company disclosed that its Europe-market orders are already booked out to 2027.
2. Culture-and-tourism and travel scenarios continue to be further refined. In Suzhou, a “film + intangible cultural heritage” integration path is being promoted. During the summer season, night tours in multiple places are shifting from single-viewing experiences to more immersive experiences and consumption. On airlines’ ticket-purchasing pages, options offering compensation for overbooking (with seat reassignment) have also appeared.
3. Technology-related information remains largely concentrated on demonstrations and testing. Reports on the robotic performance in a public sprint competition and on cities’ real-world scenarios as testbeds appeared on the same day, making it suitable to continue tracking subsequent public updates.
【A-share / China Assets】
1. In the early session on August 25, the Shanghai Gold Exchange’s gold T+D rose 1.16% to 1011.41 yuan per gram; silver T+D rose 0.72% to 16900.0 yuan per kilogram.
2. In the early session, China’s domestic futures saw more contracts rise than fall. Ethylene glycol and asphalt rose nearly 3%; short-fiber, p-xylene, and fuel oil rose nearly 2%.
【Overseas Markets】
1. New York COMEX gold broke through $4,750 per ounce, up 0.85% on the day.
2. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index was down as much as 1.00% during the trading session.
【Change Reminder】
1. Export-oriented services: service exports in the first half grew 17.6% year on year; in addition, some companies disclosed that Europe orders are booked out to 2027. Next, pay attention to business and customs data as well as any subsequent corporate announcements.
2. Culture, tourism and travel: night tours, “film + intangible cultural heritage,” and airlines’ overbooking seat-compensation options all represent adjustments to specific consumption scenarios. Next, watch for local culture-and-tourism activities, airlines’ rules, and related public developments.
【Domestic Leads】
1. Service exports in the first half grew 17.6% year on year, and the disclosed official figures provide relatively clear growth-rate data.
【Overseas Leads】
1. At the World Humanoid Robot Games, a humanoid robot developed by a Chinese company ran in the sprint event faster than the 100-meter record set by Bolt. Related coverage also notes that this does not mean equal progress has already been achieved in practical applications.
