On September 20th, according to Russian sources, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced on social media that over 150 Ukrainian drones had attacked Moscow and its surrounding areas since the early hours of the morning, with most being shot down by Russian air defense systems. Furthermore, according to the Kyiv Military Authority, air raid sirens were issued in the early hours of the 20th in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, due to the threat of missiles and drones.According to TASS: The mayor of Moscow said that facilities at the Moscow oil refinery have been damaged by ongoing drone attacks.On September 20th, at the 2026 World Manufacturing Convention, Changxin Technology announced the official mass production of its fifth-generation technology platform. According to reports, Changxin Technology has achieved a 11.95nm half-pitch for the active area of the memory array, a 45:1 aspect ratio for the memory capacitor, and a core energy area height reduced to 6762nm. Simultaneously, the fifth-generation process platform has significantly improved memory density, increasing the output per wafer by more than 50% compared to the previous generation platform under the same conditions. 24GB LPDDR5X products built on this platform have entered mass production and are widely used in mainstream flagship smartphones from Chinese manufacturers.September 20th - According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), from January to August, the top ten passenger car manufacturers sold a total of 4.014 million vehicles, accounting for 67.9% of total passenger car sales. Among these ten companies, SAIC Motor and Tesla saw varying degrees of sales growth compared to the same period last year, while the sales of the other companies all declined to varying degrees.On September 20th, Orient Securities Research stated that the LPR (Loan Prime Rate) for both maturities remained unchanged in September, largely in line with market expectations. The stable LPR since the beginning of the year reflects the fact that first-half GDP growth reached 4.7%, falling within the annual economic growth target range of 4.5% to 5.0%, with accelerated development in new productivity sectors, represented by high-tech manufacturing. This means that although domestic investment and consumption have weakened since the second quarter, and economic growth momentum has declined somewhat, macroeconomic policies have maintained strong resolve, and monetary policy remains in an observation period. This is the fundamental reason why the LPR remained unchanged in September. We predict that the central bank may implement policy-driven interest rate cuts later, which will lead to a follow-up reduction in the LPR. The Politburo meeting on July 30th emphasized the need to "fully leverage the effectiveness of existing policies, promptly plan and introduce practical and effective incremental policies, and increase counter-cyclical adjustments," and required "comprehensive use and timely adjustment of monetary policy tools." Considering the economic and financial situation and price trends, the possibility of a new round of incremental policies cannot be ruled out.
