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.Chinas total electricity consumption in August rose 1.7% year-on-year, unchanged from the previous month.Chinas total electricity consumption in August was 1,033.2 billion kilowatt-hours, compared to 1,040 billion kilowatt-hours in the previous month.

The pound against the dollar is expected to rise for three consecutive times, or break through the resistance of the 10-day moving average

Oct 26, 2021 10:52

On Monday (October 4), the pound against the US dollar attracted some bargain hunting near 1.3530, and continued the rebound from near 1.3410 (the lowest level since December 2020) last week. It is expected to break through the 10-day moving average resistance in the day. This marked the third consecutive day of positive movements in the British pound against the U.S. dollar. The only supporting factor was the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar.


In fact, the key U.S. dollar index has fallen further from the one-year high it hit last Thursday and provided some support for the pound to the dollar. Even so, a series of factors should help limit further declines in the U.S. dollar and limit the sharp upward movement of the pound against the U.S. dollar, giving active bullish investors reason to be cautious.

Investors seem to be convinced that the Fed will begin to reduce its stimulus measures during the pandemic period as early as November. The market seems to have also begun to expect the Fed to raise interest rates in 2022. This, coupled with the good recovery of US Treasury yields, should boost the dollar.

In addition, the hedging impulse should also provide some support for the safe-haven dollar. Concerns about the Evergrande crisis have reduced investors' interest in high-risk assets. This can be seen from the general weakness in the stock market.

On the other hand, the ongoing fuel crisis in the UK should prevent traders from making aggressive bullish bets on the pound. In addition, the tension between the United Kingdom and France over the issue of fishing rights after Brexit may further limit the exchange rate of the pound to the dollar.

Therefore, it is prudent to wait for a wave of strong follow-up buying before confirming that the GBP/USD has recently bottomed and adjusting positions for further gains. Neither the United Kingdom nor the United States has any major economic data that will affect market trends to be released on Monday, which makes the British pound against the U.S. dollar affected by the price dynamics of the U.S. dollar.

The initial resistance above focuses on the low of 1.3641 on September 20, and further resistance focuses on the 20-day moving average at 1.3694 and the 50-day moving average at 1.3767.

The initial support below focuses on the monthly low of 1.3572 on the 20th, and further attention on the 5-day moving average of 1.3517 and the September 29 low of 1.3412.
