Jefferies: Lowered its price target for Boeing (BA.N) from $295 to $265.On September 22, Goldman Sachs issued a report expressing a positive view on Hua Hong Grace Semiconductor (01347.HK), forecasting revenue growth of 11% and 15% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 and Q4 of 2026, respectively, higher than the 9% quarter-on-quarter growth in Q2 of 2026. This growth is primarily driven by increased AI spending in China and customers domestic-first strategies to better secure supply. The report notes that Hua Hong continues to expand its capacity, maintaining high capacity utilization, driven by strong demand and technology node migration. Generative AI remains the main driver, boosting demand for embedded flash memory, NOR flash memory, and power management ICs. In September, Hua Hong completed the acquisition of a 97.5% stake in Huahong Microelectronics, which subsequently became a wholly-owned subsidiary and will be consolidated into the groups financial statements. The report anticipates that this acquisition will broaden Hua Hongs 12-inch manufacturing platform and support its long-term capacity and technology node expansion. The bank expects strong demand to support capacity utilization, average selling price, and gross margin. The company aims to increase 12-inch wafer capacity at Fab9A by approximately 40% by the end of Q3 2026 and reach full capacity in the first half of 2027. The bank maintains its "Buy" rating on Hua Hongs Hong Kong-listed shares with a 12-month target price of HK$335.The local governor stated that the Russian attack on Dnipro, Ukraine, resulted in three deaths.Russian Ministry of Defense: We attacked targets in Kyiv, Poltava, Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk.Russian Ministry of Defense: We have struck Ukrainian companies in the metallurgical, fuel, and energy sectors.

ETH quickly passed through the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $1,668 before relaxing back to finish the day at $1,665. ETH also broke through the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $1,636.


Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 2.44% on Wednesday. Bitcoin finished the day at $23,707, reversing a drop of 1.53% from Tuesday. Bitcoin returned to the $24,000 mark for the first time in five days thanks to the positive session.

Chinese economic data and the Shapella upgrade provide support

On Wednesday, the seamless Shapella update and mining influx helped to sustain the price of ETH. However, the Wednesday breakthrough was motivated by the world economic schedule.


On Wednesday, statistics from China provided support for risky commodities. The crucial Caixin Manufacturing PMI increased in February from 49.2 to 51.6. Analysts anticipated an increase to 50.2. An important development was the industrial sector's first expansion since July 2022.


The statistics were strong enough to overpower the impact of NASDAQ Composite Index and US economic data.


The ISM Manufacturing PMI survey's auxiliary variables backed up the more bearish outlook on Fed monetary policy. From 44.5 to 51.3, the ISM Factory Costs Index increased. The NASDAQ Composite Index was impacted by hawkish Fed talk as well. According to reports, Fed moderate Kashkari is willing to raise interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points in March.


Investors reacted negatively this morning to inflation data and bullish talk, sending Bitcoin and ETH into the red.
