This is not due to poor sales of its DRAM products, but rather to the excessively high proportion of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in its product portfolio, and the difference in production volume with Samsung Electronics. According to data released by market research firm TrendForce on the 14th, SK Hynixs DRAM revenue in the second quarter increased by 37.9% quarter-on-quarter, reaching $38.59 billion. However, its market share dropped by 3.9 percentage points from 28.8% to 24.9%. Samsung Electronics ranked first with a market share of 39.4%, while Micron Technology narrowed the gap with SK Hynix to 1.6 percentage points, with a market share of 23.3%.September 14th - The 18th BRICS Summit opened on Saturday, with the group taking its most concrete step to date in weakening the dominance of the US dollar. On its first day, it adopted a 45-page "New Delhi Declaration" and supported a payment architecture designed to bypass the Western financial system for cross-border trade. For most member countries, this move is gradual. But for Iran—which is under comprehensive US sanctions, a naval blockade, and has been at war with the US and Israel for about six months—its closer to a lifeline. Indian Prime Minister Modi stated after a closed-door meeting that no member country objected to the text. At its core, the economic commitment is to expand trade and investment settled in member countries local currencies and to connect domestic payment and messaging systems so that transactions do not need to pass through the dollar-denominated SWIFT network. According to the declaration, the groups payment working group studied the cross-border interoperability of these channels and explored the use of local currencies for trade settlement and investment. The most attention-grabbing mechanism is BRICS Pay, a decentralized payment messaging framework that combines Indias UPI and Russias SPFS into a shared interoperability layer—a way to clear payments between member states outside of SWIFT.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
