The U.S. Department of Defense stated that the vessel violated quarantine regulations in the Caribbean Sea.February 9th - Capital Economics analysts Ruth Gregory and Paul Dales noted in a report that if Starmer or Reeves were to replace the UK Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer respectively, UK government bond yields could rise and the pound could weaken. They stated that subsequent market movements would depend on the policy direction of the new leadership. Starmer continues to face pressure due to his handling of the former US Ambassador Peter Mandelson affair. The report added that if the successor team weakens fiscal constraints and promises significant increases in public spending and borrowing, it could trigger a sharp surge (or even above 5%) in 10-year government bond yields and a decline in the pound. However, if the government is forced to abandon these plans—repeating the scenario of former Prime Minister Trusss "mini-budget"—such market volatility is likely to be short-lived.February 9th - Since the beginning of the year, the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Funds (Big Fund) share reduction activities in the semiconductor sector have continued to attract market attention. On the evening of February 8th, Anlu Technology announced that its shareholder, the first phase of the Big Fund, plans to reduce its holdings by no more than 2% of the companys total share capital within the next three months. This marks the third time Anlu Technology has faced a share reduction plan from the Big Fund since 2025. Meanwhile, several other semiconductor companies, including Shanghai Silicon Industry, Telink Microelectronics, and Huizhi Microelectronics, have also recently disclosed the latest progress or plans for share reduction by the Big Fund. Based on the information released, both the first and second phases of the Big Fund have conducted share reduction operations, involving mostly listed semiconductor industry chain companies. Despite the frequent share reductions in the short term, industry insiders generally believe that this is a normal investment exit behavior for the Big Fund as an industry investment fund, and its long-term strategic direction of accompanying industry growth and supporting domestic substitution remains unchanged.The euro rose more than 0.50% against the US dollar on the day, currently trading at 1.1872.On February 9th, KSTAR announced that its controlling shareholder, Ningbo KSTAR Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership), plans to reduce its holdings of the companys shares by no more than 5.8222 million shares, representing 1% of the companys total share capital, within three months after 15 trading days from the date of the announcement, through block trades or centralized bidding.
