Hmmm↗ @jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-11 11:16:52 UTC · 引用原帖：Why do I always end up laughing whenever I see talk of America reshoring manufacturing? Probably because those two words, America and manufacturing, drifted apart a very long time ago. The reason manufacturing looks like it is being reshored to the US right now is not that building a factory there actually pays off. It comes down to one thing: tariffs, or to put it another way, a trade barrier erected on the backs of American taxpayers. It is certainly not because building in the US brings higher productivity or efficiency. Put another way, without that trade barrier, no company in its right mind would ever build manufacturing in the US. Even less so if it is not part of the 1% of truly critical manufacturing, the strategic goods like semiconductors. Nobody is willing to pay a premium for a screw just because it was made in America. So how should we view the argument that advances in robotics will offset these costs? That one makes no sense either. Unfortunately, there is already a country making the parts for those robots far more cheaply and efficiently than the US, and that country is China. The gap between the US and China in cost, technology and efficiency keeps widening. Unless the US pours in subsidies on the scale of its own defense budget, closing that gap is impossible. And even if the US somehow advances its robotics far enough to judge for itself that it can compete and steps into the ring, China will already have achieved recursive self improvement in manufacturing. Robots building robots, pushing manufacturing cost and efficiency to the absolute limit.↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:12:31 UTC · 原创原帖：Quality of labor cited as single most important problem for small businesses in July, an increase of 8 percentage points from June and 15 points above its historical average of 12%; taxes ranked second and inflation concerns eased according to @NFIB↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:12:01 UTC · 原创原帖：July @NFIB Small Business Optimism rose to 99.8 vs. 97.5 est. & 97.4 prior, highest since last August↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:11:36 UTC · 原创原帖：For the week ended on 8/7/26, U.S. large cap ETFs topped the charts with largest inflows while consumer cyclical ETFs saw largest outflows @DataArbor↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:10:56 UTC · 原创原帖：Latest @NewYorkFed Survey of Consumer Expectations showed probability of finding a job within next 3 months after losing current job remained low in July but rose to 46.2%, with most pronounced gain among lower income households(those earning < $50,000 annually)↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:09:30 UTC · 原创原帖：World food prices, as measured by @FAO Price Index, rose in July, hitting highest level since January 2023, fueled by summer heatwaves and continued wars in Iran/Ukraine … declines in meat/dairy prices weren’t enough to offset higher prices for cereals/vegetable oils/sugar↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:07:25 UTC · 原创原帖：After a sharp decline in June, gas price expectations rebounded in July with consumers anticipating an increase of 2.9% over the next year according to latest @NewYorkFed survey↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:06:57 UTC · 原创原帖：Consumer credit rose $14.2B in June, following an unusual decline of $1.1B in May … revolving credit (credit cards) up $6.7B and non-revolving credit (auto & student loans) up $7.4B↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 11:06:31 UTC · 原创原帖：Median @NewYorkFed 1-year and 3-year #inflation expectations edged down in July … all eyes will be on tomorrow’s CPI report with consensus estimates at +3.4% y/y for headline and +2.5% y/y for core↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 10:39:31 UTC · 原创原帖：Baskets’ performance↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 10:39:07 UTC · 原创原帖：Sectors’ % at 4w and 52w highs↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 10:38:48 UTC · 原创原帖：Neural9 chart/table↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 10:36:39 UTC · 原创原帖：Index drawdowns and % outperforming↗ @LizAnnSonders · 请求账号 @LizAnnSonders · 2026-08-11 10:36:04 UTC · 原创原帖：MA breadth charts↗ @jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-11 08:56:25 UTC · 原创原帖：Exclusive: SK hynix to Increase NAND Production in China by 50% SK hynix is resuming construction of its second NAND flash plant in Dalian, China, expanding its local production capacity by approximately 50%. Construction of the Dalian Fab 2 began four years ago but was suspended for an extended period following the memory market downturn. SK hynix plans to begin installing semiconductor production equipment by year-end and bring the fab into full operation in the first half of next year. According to semiconductor industry sources on August 11, Solidigm, the NAND subsidiary of SK hynix, resumed investment in Dalian Fab 2 in the first half of this year and restarted construction. Production equipment is expected to begin moving in as early as November, with the fab slated to establish a mass-production system and begin manufacturing NAND flash in the first half of next year. The new line is reportedly designed for monthly wafer input capacity of around 50,000 wafers. Combined with the existing Dalian Fab 1’s capacity of 100,000 wafers per month, this would increase SK hynix’s local production capacity by approximately 50%. Investment in Dalian is moving forward again after a four-year hiatus as the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers drives a surge in demand for enterprise solid-state drives, pushing NAND prices to nearly 10 times their level a year earlier. SK hynix launched Solidigm after acquiring Intel’s NAND business in 2021, taking over Dalian Fab 1 and the surrounding site before beginning construction of Fab 2 in May of the following year. However, the memory downturn and U.S. restrictions on exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China brought progress to a halt, leaving only the fab’s structural framework completed. With the construction of Dalian Fab 2, SK hynix is pursuing a two-track NAND production and sales strategy. The company plans to manufacture lower-layer NAND based on mature technology in Dalian while concentrating production of advanced, high-layer-count NAND in Cheongju. Dalian is expected to focus on improving productivity for 100-layer-class NAND based on Intel’s mature floating-gate architecture, while production of NAND with more than 300 layers is expected to be concentrated at domestic facilities such as the M17 fab in Cheongju. The company previously announced that it would invest KRW 19.1 trillion in the Cheongju M17 fab, with plans to open its first cleanroom by the end of 2028 and manufacture next-generation NAND products there. “Dalian Fab 2 is planned to use the same equipment configuration as Fab 1,” an industry source said. “My understanding is that it will have monthly wafer input capacity of between 40,000 and 60,000 wafers.”↗ @michaelxpettis · 请求账号 @michaelxpettis · 2026-08-11 08:17:52 UTC · 原创原帖：George Magnus: "China’s fundamental problem is how to resolve the dichotomy between the small but dynamic manufacturing sector, and the much larger rest of the economy, with unsustainable debt levels, misallocated capital, weak demand and employment, overproduction."↗ @jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-11 06:52:28 UTC · 原创原帖：According to Chinese media reports, CXMT’s 17nm DDR5 yield has already exceeded 90%. CXMT products are currently available in relatively large volumes in the spot market in South China, allowing brands to procure chips based on their specific pricing and specification requirements. However, major U.S. PC makers have imposed strict policies. Dell reportedly prohibits the use of CXMT chips altogether, while HP permits their use only in products sold in mainland China. Acer and ASUS are said to be more flexible in their procurement decisions and able to adopt CXMT chips without difficulty. The two companies mainly use CXMT chips in notebook models sold in mainland China and emerging markets, seeking an optimal balance between price and specifications. However, the number of models using CXMT chips and the volumes involved remain quite limited, reportedly due to concerns about provoking a backlash from the world’s three largest memory manufacturers.↗ @jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-11 06:33:56 UTC · 引用原帖：In its Micron report, UBS said NVIDIA’s decision to lower the HBM specifications for Vera Rubin Ultra would actually increase the number of VR300 units entering the supply chain, raising total HBM consumption in 2027 from 58.7 billion Gb to 61.5 billion Gb.

The company intends to deploy High-NA EUV, a next-generation extreme ultraviolet lithography technology, in volume production at the 1nm node and is currently focused on developing the technology required for commercialization. Park Chang-min, a Master at Samsung Electronics, disclosed the company’s lithography technology roadmap on August 11 at the 2026 Next-Generation Lithography + Patterning Conference (NGL 2026), held at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi Province. Lithography is the process of transferring circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers. Samsung Electronics has used EUV lithography in volume production since introducing it at advanced foundry nodes of 8nm and below. EUV has a wavelength of 13.5nm, approximately one-thirteenth that of argon fluoride (ArF), the conventional light source used in semiconductor lithography. This allows ultrafine patterns that require multiple exposures, or multi-patterning, with ArF to be produced with fewer exposures—or even a single exposure. Reducing the number of patterning steps can lower manufacturing costs and improve productivity. Samsung Electronics is also intensifying its development of High-NA EUV, the next generation of EUV technology. The company is targeting the 1nm, or A10, process for its full-scale deployment in volume production. The “A” refers to angstroms, with one angstrom equal to 0.1nm. “We had hoped to apply High-NA EUV to volume production at the 2nm and 1.4nm nodes, but the technology still requires further refinement,” Park said. “We believe High-NA EUV will become necessary from A10 and below, and we are jointly developing the technology with various partners.” Based on this roadmap, Samsung Electronics is expected to begin using High-NA EUV in mass production around 2030. The company has already commercialized its 2nm process and plans to begin volume production of its 1.4nm SF1.4 process in 2029. It is reportedly preparing to start mass production of SF1.4+, an enhanced version of the 1.4nm process, as well as its 1nm process in 2030. High-NA EUV increases the numerical aperture, or NA, of the optical system from the current 0.33 to 0.55. Numerical aperture measures an optical system’s ability to collect and focus light. A higher NA improves resolution, making it easier to create finer circuit patterns. High-NA EUV can enable single-patterning for ultrafine features that would otherwise require multi-patterning with conventional EUV. This can improve cost efficiency. Because the pattern can be created in a single exposure, it also provides greater flexibility in circuit design. However, High-NA EUV is extremely technically challenging, and the equipment is highly expensive. Related technologies and materials, including masks and pellicles, must also advance. The industry therefore expects EUV multi-patterning and High-NA EUV single-patterning to be used in parallel at future process nodes. “Multi-patterning based on 0.33-NA EUV will remain the mainstream approach through the 1.4nm and 1nm nodes,” Park said. “For the process generations that follow, I believe High-NA patterning will become the mainstream.” $ASML↗ @Brad_Setser · 请求账号 @Brad_Setser · 2026-08-11 05:34:37 UTC · 引用原帖：Need to scale China's surplus to the GDP of China's trading partners too↗ @jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-11 05:26:19 UTC · 原创原帖：From JPMorgan APAC Tech Comments SK hynix: Investors generally expect SK hynix’s shareholder returns to be at least equivalent to 50% of Samsung Electronics’ level, following management’s indication that it would provide an update by the end of 3Q. The market also expects FY27 HBM contract pricing to increase by more than 50%, driven by tight supply-demand conditions in commodity D5. However, our analyst Jay is taking a more conservative view, forecasting an annual contract price increase of less than 40%, given NVIDIA’s strategic importance and SK hynix’s ability to reprice annually. Investors also asked about the announced $38.1bn capex plan, which is primarily allocated to production from FY30 onward. JX Advanced Metals: Investors generally expect JXAM to increase InP production capacity by 20–30x by the end of FY29, well above management’s maintained 7–10x expansion plan, particularly as order inquiries continue to run ahead of the planned capacity ramp. The market is also likely to expect Sumitomo Electric to raise its InP capacity expansion plans.↗ @michaelxpettis · 请求账号 @michaelxpettis · 2026-08-11 05:04:54 UTC · 原创原帖：Yicai: "As of the end of 2025, gold accounted for about 8.8 percent of China’s international reserves.

According to the Nikkei on August 10, Kioxia disclosed that its largest shareholder had changed from Toshiba to the special-purpose company BCPE Pangea Cayman2, or SPC2. SPC2 is the entity through which SK hynix invested via convertible bonds (CBs). Toshiba previously held a 15.10% stake in Kioxia. However, through seven separate sales conducted between July 15 and August 3, it reduced its stake to 14.06%. Toshiba previously held a 15.10% stake in Kioxia. However, through seven separate sales conducted between July 15 and August 3, it reduced its stake to 14.06%. As a result, SPC2, which holds a 14.19% stake in Kioxia, has become the company’s largest shareholder. SK hynix invested approximately KRW 4 trillion in Kioxia through two SPCs in 2018. SPC1, which was jointly funded by SK hynix, Bain Capital, and other investors, sold its entire stake in June as Bain Capital exited its investment. SK hynix, meanwhile, has continued to hold SPC2, in which it invested approximately KRW 1.3 trillion. If the convertible bonds are converted into shares, SK hynix could become a voting shareholder of Kioxia. As a result, SPC2, which holds a 14.19% stake in Kioxia, has become the company’s largest shareholder. Kioxia is Japan’s largest NAND flash manufacturer. It currently ranks third in the global NAND market, behind Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. However, SK hynix is currently considered unlikely to exert direct influence over Kioxia’s management. To obtain voting rights, SK hynix would need approvals under competition and antitrust laws in multiple jurisdictions. The Japanese government is also unlikely to grant such approval, given its interest in protecting the country’s domestic semiconductor supply chain.↗ @aleabitoreddit · 请求账号 @aleabitoreddit · 2026-08-11 01:29:11 UTC · 原创原帖：Woah, $RIOT announced a $9.1B deal with Anthropic, with a possible contract extending to $16.1B, over 20Y. $AMD also exercised its option to expand its existing deal with Riot.
