The Asian bond market is expected to follow the decline of U.S. Treasuries, as the U.S.-Iran standoff keeps oil prices high, exacerbating inflation concerns and increasing market bets on further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.New Zealand government bonds opened lower, and Australian government bond futures may decline. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly rose by 11 basis points to 5.27%, reaching a new high in 19 years; the 30-year yield rose to 5.55%. Morgan Stanley analyst Chris Larkin stated that the market's focus may still be on interest rates and energy prices.

On Monday, precious metal prices continued to decline, with spot gold dropping nearly 3% during the day and spot silver plunging 5%.

According to a report by ZDNet Korea on September 28, Samsung Electronics is accelerating the construction of the first mass production line (Ph1) at the Pyeongtaek Fifth Campus (P5) and is discussing with major equipment manufacturers to move the target for Ph1 equipment installation from the originally planned third quarter of next year to the second quarter of next year. P5 is the next-generation semiconductor production base aimed to be operational by 2028, and the construction of the Ph1 cleanroom began in the third quarter of this year.Samsung Electronics had previously advanced the completion of the P5 Ph1 cleanroom, originally scheduled for early next year, by about six months, so the equipment installation is expected around the third quarter of next year. Industry insiders say that the start time for equipment installation is planned to be moved up from July to August next year to around May to June next year; others have indicated that Samsung has even proposed to deliver equipment in the first quarter of next year for temporary storage at other locations, showing a strong willingness to invest early.Discussions on the investment for the second phase of P5 (Ph2) are also progressing. Currently, Ph1 is more likely to be built as a DRAM and HBM production line, while Ph2 is more likely to be built as an advanced NAND production line, including the tenth generation (V10). Equipment industry insiders say that formal purchase orders have not yet been placed, but Samsung has discussed building Ph2 as a NAND production line with partners, and due to the long equipment delivery cycle, they are requesting to prepare relevant components in advance. Reports indicate that large global tech companies are increasing orders for high-performance DRAM and NAND for AI infrastructure, while storage companies like Samsung have limited production capacity. Samsung stated during the second quarter earnings call in July that unmet demand this year will extend into next year, and the supply shortage next year will be more severe than this year, with shortages expected to continue until 2028.

According to Forbes, Bitcoin approached $90,000 earlier this month. Meanwhile, global debt continues to rise, and the "currency depreciation trade" surrounding the decline in purchasing power of fiat currency has become one of the factors driving up assets like Bitcoin and gold.Data from the Institute of International Finance shows that global debt increased by $10 trillion in the first half of this year, surpassing $365 trillion in total. The U.S. debt has exceeded $40 trillion, with annual interest payments rising to $1.27 trillion, surpassing defense and Medicare spending, and only lower than Social Security spending. The institute warns that as benchmark interest rates rise, interest costs will also increase.Nic Puckrin, founder of Coin Bureau and cross-asset analyst, stated that the current environment is favorable for "currency depreciation assets" like Bitcoin and gold, which is part of the reason for Bitcoin's recent rise. The larger the debt of major economies, the more likely it is to suppress real borrowing costs and allow inflation to erode the real value of debt, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of such trades.Analysts from The Kobeissi Letter pointed out that the purchasing power of the dollar has declined by 23% since 2020; if assets only increased by 30% during the same period, investors have essentially just broken even in terms of real purchasing power. The U.S. inflation rate has been above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for 60 consecutive months.

The parent company Digital Currency Group has increased Fortitude Mining's existing credit line from 26 million dollars to 50 million dollars, with an additional commitment of 24 million dollars.Fortitude Mining currently has approximately 31 million dollars available for borrowing, which is expected to be fully disbursed in the form of ZEC, for the procurement of 9,000 Zcash ASIC miners, as well as capital expenditures for building and acquiring data centers, power infrastructure, and more.

On Wednesday local time, Anthropic announced that its model Claude identified a previously undescribed enzyme system in vast DNA sequence data, with a repetitive sequence arrangement similar to CRISPR. This is the first achievement of its newly established biological laboratory, which was formed this spring and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Following the announcement, shares of gene editing companies fell on Wednesday, with CRISPR Therapeutics down 5.54%, Beam Therapeutics down 6.02%, and Prime Medicine down 11.58%.The related task was to search for noteworthy reverse transcriptase systems from large DNA databases. During approximately 21 hours of searching, about 950 Claude agents used around 210 million tokens, with one agent noticing a repetitive DNA sequence arranged near a certain reverse transcriptase gene. The team named this combination the array-associated reverse transcriptase system, primarily found in bacteriophages, which includes reverse transcriptase genes, adjacent accompanying genes, and a set of repetitive DNA sequences. The reverse transcriptase itself has been studied before, and the new finding is that it forms a system together with surrounding non-coding DNA sequences and functionally unknown accompanying proteins.Anthropic stated that researchers still do not know the main function of this system and have not proven that it can perform targeted modifications to DNA like mature gene editing tools. Preliminary experiments found that these repetitive sequences can produce various short RNAs, but this does not equate to having programmable gene editing capabilities. The preprint paper disclosed that to verify whether the discovery could be repeated, the team ran the same search 10 more times;

Glassnode stated that over time, it seems increasingly unlikely that a decline of the same depth as in past cycles will occur again in the later stages of this market. The "four-year cycle" pattern that the market previously relied on has not been reflected in this bear market.Data shows that the drawdowns in the past three cycles exceeded twice that of this cycle, and there are still several weeks until the cycle low point; in contrast, this time BTC has only fallen about 30% from its historical high, and the price is currently rising.

Uniswap team member Niko posted that after Robinhood Chain's recent large-scale innovations drove the market up, other chains have begun to replicate its ecological projects. Some KOLs and venture capital institutions continue to claim that Robinhood Chain is in decline and are guiding users towards similar projects on other chains.Robinhood Chain's current daily trading volume still exceeds 1 billion dollars, and the trading scale of stock tokens is also growing.

Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that if inflation does not fall back to the 2% target level, interest rates will need to be raised.He is open to the possibility of inflation starting to decline and is willing to accept that the current inflation issue stems from supply shocks that are about to fade, but he hopes to see evidence that this shock is indeed fading.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool, Jiang Zhuoer, stated in a post that after months of trading, profit in coin-based terms has reached 34%, while profit in U-based terms has reached 92%, nearly doubling. The key to profitability lies in position, trading, and currency. Market sentiment must be involved in trading to truly feel it. We are currently in a bull market cycle, and the personal default position is to hold a full position in ETH spot. Besides several recent short positions, more importantly, it is to hold a full position in spot for the long term; shorting is merely to protect the spot after it rises, reducing the downside pullback.
