  • South Korean stocks (KOSPI) and AI semiconductor names experience massive volatility, with SK Hynix and Samsung swinging double digits intraday.
  • China acts as a demand-side stabilizer in crude oil by managing import volumes, making future oil prices sensitive to its purchasing decisions.
  • A vulnerability in Coldcard MK3 hardware wallet allowed theft of hundreds of bitcoins, prompting a security warning for self-custody users.
  • Political commentary on Brazil-Argentina diplomatic tensions and mixed signals from the Trump administration's trade and geopolitical policies.

Historic official intervention to strengthen yen.
The Bank of Japan and the US Treasury have intervened aggressively to strengthen the Japanese yen. The US Treasury sold euros to buy yen, the first such direct intervention since 1998, signaling strong official support for a stronger yen. The Treasury Secretary explicitly views the yen as too weak and wants it to appreciate. This coordinated official action creates a powerful tailwind for the yen.

China demand shift could move oil prices.
China has been acting as the 'demand-side OPEC' in the oil market, strategically reducing imports during Middle East conflicts to contain price spikes. The key question now is whether China will resume heavy buying. If China decides to import aggressively again, it could push oil prices significantly higher. This makes monitoring China's import behaviour an important catalyst for crude oil.
