🔥 Key News This Hour

1. Shanghai/Shenzhen Turnover Hits 279th Consecutive Day Above 1.5T RMB Two-market trading volume exceeded 1.5 trillion RMB for the 279th straight session, a historical record. A-shares broadened in afternoon trading: ChiNext surged over 3.5%, STAR 50 gained 2.75%, with over 3,300 stocks advancing. CPO sector led with Guangxun Tech hitting limit-up and Zhongji Innolight nearly +10%; liquid cooling server stocks saw multiple 20% limit-ups; CPU, lab-grown diamond, and non-metal materials sectors followed.

2. Brent Crude Touches $96/bbl Brent crude pushed to $96/bbl, up 1.60% intraday. WTI strength同步 to $90.93. Hormuz Strait tensions persist alongside signals of Qatar LNG fleet returning, keeping oil in a high-volatility range.

3. Deutsche Bank: ECB to Hike in Sept, Possibly Again in Dec Deutsche Bank expects the ECB to raise rates in September and add another 25bp in December, citing persistent energy-related inflation risks. The deposit facility rate may peak at 2.5% (currently below that level).

4. Taiwan TAIEX Closes Up 1.67% Taiwan weighted index rose 775 points to 47,326 on Monday, driven by AI semiconductor names.

🧭 Assessment

Shanghai/Shenzhen turnover at 279 consecutive days above 1.5T RMB is an extreme liquidity signal — A-shares have entered a structural regime of存量博弈 (existing stock competition) plus foreign capital pulses. Today’s broad tech rally (CPO / liquid cooling / CPU / semiconductors) resonates with the global AI semiconductor cycle, but caution is warranted on afternoon pullbacks after sharp midday surges.

Brent at $96 establishes a new Hormuz premium中枢 (center). Qatar fleet returns coexist with Iran’s “zone restriction” threats — $90-96 high volatility is the base case for oil. Gold承压 (under pressure, -0.79% to 4396); if U.S. treasuries also climb, gold lacks near-term catalyst for a trend reversal.

ECB path is more hawkish than expected — Deutsche Bank prices Sept + Dec 25bp hikes, implying European inflation stickiness exceeds consensus. Negative for European equities, supportive for EUR.
