On September 11, according to US media reports, Anthropic discovered that a group in northern Yemen was using its Claude AI model to support the development of missile and rocket systems, highlighting growing concerns about the misuse of advanced AI in military projects and by non-state actors. In its latest AI abuse detection and countermeasures report released Thursday, Anthropic stated that these unidentified actors are advancing three weapons projects, including a guided rocket, a ballistic missile with a claimed range of over 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles), and a missile series called R2000. The Yemeni group used Claude to help develop guidance, navigation, and control software, effectively replacing some tasks typically performed by software engineers. These actors allegedly spread the work across multiple AI sessions and concealed the military nature of the projects to evade detection. Anthropic released this information as the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels continue to launch missile and drone attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea, a key global trade route. In recent days, the armed group has advanced towards the Red Sea coast, which borders the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and fighting between it and Saudi-backed Yemeni forces has intensified. As the war with Iran continues to disrupt the energy market, oil prices have been pushed up.On September 11th, at the "Space Computing Power Innovation and Development" thematic forum of the 2026 China Computing Power Conference, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the Beijing Space Intelligent Computing Research Institute officially established the "Space Computing Power Key Technology and Scenario Verification Laboratory." This is the industrys first laboratory focusing on key technologies and integrated verification across multiple scenarios for space computing power. The laboratory will focus on four main areas: joint research on cutting-edge common key technologies such as radiation-resistant spaceborne AI chips, high-speed inter-satellite communication, and distributed resource collaborative scheduling; building a ground verification test field with "one center, two modules, four platforms, and one base" to conduct pilot-scale and engineering testing of space computing power; promoting the implementation and verification of typical scenarios in multiple domains, including space situational awareness, space-based assisted intelligent driving, and weather forecasting and early warning; developing relevant standards and specifications, outputting testing toolsets and public technical achievements, and coordinating the construction of a standard evaluation system.A spokesperson for the European Commission stated that the EU is in discussions with Apple regarding a potential future Siri EU service.ECB Governing Council member Machrouf: A sharp interest rate hike could dampen economic growth.On September 11th, it was reported that nine departments in Zibo City recently jointly formulated the "Zibo City Artificial Intelligence + Manufacturing Action Plan (2026-2028)". The plan proposes that by 2028, Zibo will be fully established as a leading application hub for "Artificial Intelligence + Manufacturing" in Shandong Province. In terms of technology supply, it aims to build more than 10 large-scale industrial models, more than 3 industry corpora, and more than 10 industrial intelligent agents. Regarding integrated applications, it aims to create more than 50 application scenarios, cultivate more than 200 intelligent factories, and ensure that the intelligentization level of key industry backbone enterprises reaches the advanced level in China. In terms of ecosystem construction, it aims to build 6 artificial intelligence capability centers and 1 embodied intelligent robot training ground, basically establishing a full-chain service system covering technology research and development, achievement transformation, scenario verification, and promotion and application.

WTI advances toward $75.00 as China-related demand optimism offsets recession fears

In the early hours of Monday, WTI steadily climbs near the intraday high of $74.70 as bullish emotion competes with economic slowdown worries. Despite this, the weaker US Dollar and a light schedule allow buyers of black gold to maintain control following Friday's mixed performance.

 

In spite of this, the risk profile remains elevated in light of China's reopening of its borders after a three-year closure. On the same line, Guo Shuqing, party secretary of the People's Bank of China, made his remarks (PBOC).

 

Reuters, transmitting China unlock news, claimed that "about 2 billion journeys are anticipated this season, roughly doubling the volume of previous year, and recovering to 70% of 2019 levels," citing a statement from the Chinese government.

 

On the other side, PBOC's Shuqing stated, "The world's second-largest economy is likely to recover rapidly due to the country's optimal Covid-19 response and the continued implementation of its economic policies."

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell the most in three weeks the day before, down 0.20% intraday to 103.70 as of press time, as the US employment report failed to excite greenback purchasers and the US activity numbers stoked fears of an economic slowdown. It's worth mentioning that the previous day's disappointing US wage growth, ISM Services PMI, and Factory Orders weighed on Treasury bond yields and the DXY.

 

On a different page, reports regarding a delay in the restoration of the colonial pipeline and the Russia-Ukraine conflict appear to also benefit energy buyers. Traders fear additional rate hikes ahead of the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December from China and the United States on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, which tests the positive momentum.
