The bill has passed in the U.S. Congress, granting Trump new powers to impose tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil products. India is the largest buyer of Russian seaborne crude oil and is seeking to diversify its supply.

According to the United Morning News, seven Malaysian gangsters targeted players attending a poker game, breaking into a luxury private residence in Bukit Timah late at night, armed and stealing over 4.9 million dollars, quickly splitting into two groups to escape Singapore. Six of them pleaded guilty in the High Court on Monday (September 14), with the two masterminds sentenced to 12 years and 11 months in prison, 24 strokes of the cane, plus a fine of 4,000 dollars.In court, it was revealed that the masterminds, Wu Wentong (30 years old) and Huang Zhishan (35 years old), learned from a friend who had previously attended the poker game that the house often held poker games at night. After scouting the location, they discovered that the front door of the house would not be locked during the game. Wu Wentong and Huang Zhishan then recruited five other accomplices, specifically coming to Singapore to commit the crime. This armed robbery occurred around 2 a.m. on April 18, 2024, at a residence in the upscale Alper Wang Garden area, where 11 men and women were playing poker in the living room.According to the case details, around March 2024, Wu Wentong and Huang Zhishan decided to rob the poker players at the house due to financial issues. They knew that they could not carry out such a large-scale robbery with just the two of them, so they contacted Hamidun, who runs a private security company and provides debt collection services, to help gather a team, promising a reward of 1.5 million ringgit (approximately 470,000 Singapore dollars). After the group succeeded, they left in a multi-purpose vehicle, splitting into two groups to leave Singapore via the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints. At the same time, several players in the private residence managed to free themselves from their restraints and reported the robbery to the police. With the assistance of the Royal Malaysia Police, the six defendants were arrested between late April and November 2024 and were extradited to Singapore for prosecution. The police have since recovered virtual currency worth 1.69 million dollars, while the remaining funds and property are still missing.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessenet stated on social media: The CLARITY Act is crucial for ensuring that the United States wins the global new technology race. This is also the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act, aimed at ensuring the construction of revolutionary financial technology infrastructure for stablecoins in the United States.Bessenet noted that ensuring the continued prosperity of the U.S. community banking sector has been a consistent focus since he took office. The government's dual emphasis on promoting the development of new digital technologies and appropriately adjusting community bank regulations is key to driving U.S. economic growth in both sectors. The final draft of the CLARITY Act advances this mission by granting the Treasury Secretary additional powers to take action when changes in the facts of deposit outflows adversely affect community banks.Bessenet stated: If stablecoins harm community banks, he will not hesitate to use these tools to ensure they are fully protected. Community banks are vital to the performance of the U.S. economy and Main Street growth; economic security is national security, and community banks play an important role in this principle.

F2Pool co-founder and stakefish founder Wang Chun tweeted that Oleksii Trofimchuk filed a lawsuit against Lido Finance and stakefish on September 8 in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, accusing them of allowing competing MEV bots to submit high-priority fee transactions to claim the ETH after his wallet was hacked.

Supply chain sources revealed that due to the overall cost surge, Intel's PC CPUs have been gradually increasing in price over the past year, with a tentative additional increase of 10% expected in early October.In the context of a slight decline projected for the PC terminal market in 2027, Intel still chooses to raise CPU prices. Supply chain analysis indicates that if Intel sets low profit margins as an important threshold for product retention, some products will inevitably be forced to exit the market. Once this demand is released, it may provide opportunities for Arm-based operators like MediaTek and Qualcomm to enter, especially in the IPC, edge computing, and IoT markets, where Arm SoCs have advantages in high integration and low power consumption.

CITIC Securities research report states that in August 2026, the number of new non-farm jobs in the United States was significantly higher than expected, with notable contributions from the leisure hotel and healthcare industries, and a rebound in local government education positions. In the private sector, the goods-producing sector added jobs for the sixth consecutive month, possibly reflecting the demand for data center construction in the United States. The decline in employment in the finance and information technology sectors reflects the impact of AI.The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, rounded to two decimal places as 4.14%, and the labor force participation rate rebounded from 61.4% to 61.6%, while the continuous decline in participation rates for those aged 45-54 still needs to be monitored. The strong non-farm data in August and the dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Waller offset each other, leading the market to reprice the probability of a rate hike in September at around 60%. The focus will next be on the August CPI to be released on September 11.

Harmony has released two proposals to comprehensively shut down the mainnet launched in 2019, migrate the native token ONE to Ethereum, and shift towards an AI video "mashup economy" business. The team stated that the threats posed by national-level attackers and AI entities are the reasons for proposing the network shutdown plan.The migration plan proposes to take a snapshot of user wallets, staking delegations, validator rewards, smart contracts, and tokens within centralized exchanges at the last block of the network, airdropping new ONE to the same wallet addresses on Ethereum, with holders not needing to actively claim; delegated stakes and unclaimed rewards will be airdropped to their respective governance vaults. The total supply of ONE and the issuance rate will remain unchanged, with newly issued tokens intended for the new business and feedback from governors being considered.Multi-signature wallets, liquidity pools, and on-chain applications cannot be migrated. The team urges users to exit all smart contracts by September 10, 2026, and plans to publicly disclose token contracts, snapshot calculations, and airdrop scripts for auditing. Validators can stop running nodes starting from September 10 at 22:00 Beijing time. The team plans to compensate for the difference in issuance rewards between node shutdown and the final block of the network, establishing a one-time compensation pool of $1.372 million, to be paid in four quarters to validators and their delegators who timely shut down, sign agreements, retain stakes, and serve as governors of the new project.The new business will open up prompts and materials for users to create secondary content, with AI entities expanding video stories, and will recruit operators responsible for video generation, distribution, and content review. Harmony plans to subsidize GPU hardware in the first year and promote demand for video generation, with operators required to stake tokens to earn rewards based on service online time. The team plans to help operators generate up to $1 million in total revenue in the first year, provided they meet staking and online rate requirements; promoters can initially earn a 30% ongoing commission from each $10 monthly subscription they recommend. Both proposals are non-binding and the plans may still be adjusted.

The Director of the National Economic Council of the White House, Hassett, praised the non-farm payroll report data as "very strong."

QCP Capital's market weekly report shows that after Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh's speech in Jackson Hole, the probability of a rate hike in September rose from 35% to 70%. BTC fell approximately 2.5% in a single day, and after nine consecutive days of net inflow, the ETF recorded a net outflow of $202 million. However, the dollar failed to maintain a hawkish pricing, with the DXY falling below 99.5, and gold, silver, and BTC all regained their losses.On the Treasury side, on September 9, the first long-end liquidity support operation will be launched, with the purchase limit raised to at least $4 billion (previously $2 billion). The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond auction on August 30 was reported at 5.216%, the highest since 2001, and the market will closely monitor whether this operation can effectively improve long-end liquidity.In terms of inflation, July PCE was reported at 3.7% (core 3.3%), CPI at 3.4% (core 2.5%), and Brent crude oil rose about 10% in a week due to attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and a force majeure event in Qatar LNG, with inflationary pressures continuing. Waller stated that if the data continues to trend as it has over the next two weeks, it would support a pause in rate hikes. Coupled with the ADP employment data showing only 38,000 jobs added (the weakest since January), the probability of a rate hike in September has fallen to 45-50%.

According to South Korean media Greened.kr, Samsung Electronics and Arm have officially launched a joint research and development project for edge AI chips. Arm approved a one-time engineering fee at the end of August for the development of the next-generation edge AI SoC chip and officially started the project with Samsung Electronics.The project adopts a collaborative model where Arm provides core technology, and Samsung Electronics integrates and implements it, aiming to jointly develop customized chips for end customers.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the August non-farm payroll report tonight, with the market expecting an increase of only 56,000 jobs and an unemployment rate remaining at 4.1%. The market generally believes that the U.S. job market is currently in a "stable but weak" state, and a weakening employment data may not directly prompt the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, with policy focus still on inflation trends.J.P. Morgan's trading desk predicts that if job additions exceed 95,000, the S&P 500 index may drop by 0.5% to 1.25%; if job additions are only between 5,000 and 35,000, the S&P 500 index may rise by 0.25% to 0.75%. The market expects that this non-farm data will become an important variable affecting the Federal Reserve's September policy expectations and the short-term trend of U.S. stocks.Recent statements from Federal Reserve officials indicate that the job market is currently not the focus of policy. Federal Reserve Governor Barr stated earlier this week that the employment situation is "stable," while Governor Waller said on Thursday that the employment condition is "satisfactory." This assessment does not imply that the job market is performing strongly, but it suggests that in the absence of further easing in inflation, the Federal Reserve may consider raising interest rates while trying to avoid impacting employment.

As the bond market experiences significant fluctuations recently, investors are awaiting two sets of key U.S. data that may influence the Federal Reserve's decision: the non-farm payroll report for August to be released this Friday, and the August CPI data to be published on September 11.However, according to Bank of America, these two pieces of data carry different weights in the Federal Reserve's meeting on September 15-16. The bank believes that the non-farm payroll report is more like an "appetizer," while the "main course" that will truly determine whether the Federal Reserve raises interest rates is the CPI.Bank of America analysts stated on Wednesday: "The non-farm payroll is unlikely to be the decisive factor for a rate hike in September. A significantly weak report may reduce the likelihood of a rate hike, but the CPI remains the key data in determining whether the Federal Reserve will follow through with a rate increase. We maintain our judgment for a rate hike in September." Unless there is a significant downside surprise in the non-farm data released on Friday, the employment report is unlikely to become the final deciding factor in the discussions at the September FOMC meeting. The bank particularly emphasized that inflation remains the primary concern for the current Federal Reserve.

On Wednesday, the stock price of Nasdaq-listed company Farmmi surged from Tuesday's closing price of $0.1187 to a high of $0.5, with an intraday increase of about 321%. The trigger was a Memecoin named after the mushroom varieties in the company's annual report (Money Mushroom, code JINQIAN) starting to trade against its so-called "tokenized stock" FAMI on the Robinhood Chain.However, on-chain data shows that FAMI is not an official stock token from Robinhood: its total supply of 37,430,000 tokens (close to the total number of Farmmi's circulating shares) was generated in a one-time minting during the creation of the trade, with the deploying wallet retaining 38% and deploying a contract named PoolRepricer to manage the price itself, with no further changes to the supply thereafter. This token has no issuer, no redemption mechanism, and is completely unrelated to real Farmmi stock. In contrast, the official stock tokens from Robinhood are issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, and only authorized participants can subscribe and redeem.In terms of market performance, FAMI reached a high of $1.83 in the USDG pool, and as of 2:28 p.m., it was priced at $0.2135, a 45% premium over the stock price, with a total trading volume in the related pool reaching $131.4 million; the trading volume of JINQIAN against the FAMI pool was about $92 million, and at least 10 more Memecoins were launched within the following 30 minutes.

Trader Bonk Guy posted that the market trends on Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain over the past few weeks may just be a "warm-up," with similar trends typically appearing at the beginning of a new bull market or before the market truly accelerates. He expects that the real market may begin in the fourth quarter, and the recent gains may only be a small part of the overall trend. Many investors, having experienced a bear market, remain overly defensive and thus miss recent opportunities. The trading habits that protect investors during a bear market may also limit gains in a bull market; the key is to timely recognize whether the market environment has changed and adjust the judgment framework accordingly.He also stated that subsequent market trends will still experience pullbacks, but in a true bull market, pullbacks are often opportunities to increase positions in high-confidence assets. Rather than predicting every fluctuation in the coming days, it is more important to determine the market direction, lay out plans in advance, and allow sufficient time for the investment logic to materialize.
