On August 3rd, Luckin Coffee released its second-quarter financial report, achieving revenue of RMB 15.89 billion, a year-on-year increase of 28.5%, and opening over 5,000 new stores in the first half of the year. The report shows that Luckin Coffees performance growth was mainly driven by the increase in stores and the growth in the number of monthly transacting customers. Luckin Coffees average monthly transacting customers in the second quarter reached 112.7 million, a year-on-year increase of 22.9%. However, affected by the high base from last years food delivery war, the same-store sales growth rate of Luckins self-operated stores in the second quarter was -5.3%, compared to 13.8% in the same period of 2025. But as the market returns to rationality, Luckins operating profit from self-operated stores in the second quarter was RMB 2.47 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25.9%, with the store operating profit margin remaining flat compared to the previous year. In response to analyst questions, Guo Jinyi believes that the Chinese coffee market is still in a rapid growth phase with continuously increasing penetration and steadily rising consumption frequency, and the ceiling for coffee store expansion is still very high. As coffee penetration and consumption frequency increase, this ceiling continues to rise, and Luckin Coffee will continue to maintain its store opening pace to increase its market share.On August 3, Windward Maritime Analysis, a UK-based company, released ship tracking data showing that six Saudi Arabian oil tankers are heading towards the Cape of Good Hope, bypassing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea to avoid security risks posed by the Houthi rebels in Yemen to Saudi-related vessels. The companys analysis indicates that for some tankers bound for the United States, the route around the Cape of Good Hope will add approximately six to seven days to the journey compared to the direct route via the Suez Canal and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Windward believes that the fact that all six tankers chose to detour during empty segments suggests a broader Saudi operational policy to avoid its vessels entering the relevant waters, rather than a temporary measure targeting specific cargo risks.Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: We come here once a year (to Najaf, Iraq) to draw energy and then leave.BNP Paribas raises its price target for Western Digital (WDC.O) from $1,050 to $1,275.Previously, a user on the SpaceX platform posted about SpaceX (SPCX.O) stock, saying that in hindsight, this would have been an excellent (buying) opportunity.

During the Tokyo session, the USD/CHF pair is oscillating near the round-level barrier of 0.9400 as investors await the release of the United States' five-year consumer inflation forecasts for more direction. The Swiss franc is attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.9410, but the risk-on mentality stops the US Dollar from advancing further.

 

In the framework of the risk appetite theme, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is hitting resistance close to the significant level of 105.20. In the meantime, 10-year US Treasury yields have attempted to recover after falling to approximately 3.40 percent on Wednesday. The yield on long-term US Treasury bonds has rebounded to approximately 3.45%.

 

The growing unpredictability around the Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy outlook has caused market participants to feel anxious. As a result of favorable U.S. economic data, investors anticipate future rate hikes from the Federal Reserve to combat rising inflationary pressures. Moreover, it will compel a recession, as businesses will lower or maintain their current level of economic activity in response to rising interest liabilities.

 

At a Goldman Sachs financial conference, Bank of America (BoA) CEO Brian Moynihan informed investors that the United States economy will see "moderate contraction" in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Friday's release of US Consumer Inflation Expectations for the Next Five Years will continue to be closely monitored by investors.

 

Regarding the Swiss franc, investors are shifting their focus to the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) interest rate announcement scheduled for next week. As inflationary pressures are moderately over the target rate, it is predicted that SNB Chairman Thomas J. Jordan would continue to loosen monetary policy. This week, the Swiss Unemployment Rate fell to 2.1%, which is lower than the previous data of 2.0% and the consensus estimate of 2.2%.
