Key Themes This Week

This week's market narrative centers on U.S. inflation repricing, AI value-chain earnings validation and global liquidity risk. On the macro side, CPI, PPI and retail sales will drive the near-term path for Treasury yields and rate-cut expectations; on the industry side, earnings from AI servers, AI cloud, optical communications, networking equipment and semiconductor equipment companies will test whether AI capex remains durable.

August 10 | Monday

Bank of Japan July Meeting Summary of Opinions | ★★★☆☆

Markets will look for clearer signals on the BoJ's tightening bias, particularly its assessment of inflation persistence, wage growth and the yen.A stronger yen and renewed pressure on global carry trades could create marginal liquidity headwinds for U.S. high-valuation growth equities.

TSMC July Revenue | ★★★★☆

TSMC's monthly revenue remains an important leading indicator for AI chip demand, advanced-node utilization and CoWoS advanced packaging capacity.A sustained revenue acceleration would reinforce order visibility for key AI chip customers such as Nvidia and Broadcom, potentially broadening the semiconductor rally from leaders into equipment, packaging and memory.
