A sharp jump in oil prices, firmer U.S. producer inflation and rising Treasury yields hit global risk appetite overnight, according to PANews. WTI and Brent both climbed to about $104 a barrel after tensions tied to Red Sea shipping routes intensified, while U.S. August PPI rose 5.4% year over year and core PPI came in at 4.6%. CME data cited in the report showed traders pricing a roughly 72.4% chance of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate hike next week. The move rippled through markets. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq each posted a fourth straight daily loss, while the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.975%, close to the 5% psychological threshold. Spot gold fell 1.93%, and copper prices dropped sharply in both London and New York. AI-linked equities also lost ground as higher yields pressured long-duration growth assets, though Apple rallied after unveiling its foldable iPhone Duo and Oracle drew attention in after-hours trading on stronger-than-expected quarterly results. The report also flagged upcoming catalysts, including U.S. August CPI, round-the-clock silver futures trading at CME, China’s 2026 Computing Power Conference in Langfang, and further developments in Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz shipping risks.

The Sept. 10 to Sept. 11 news cycle brought a dense mix of crypto financing, regulation, product launches and macro signals. People familiar with the matter said Nasdaq Inc. is investing $100 million in Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, valuing the company at $21 billion and deepening a partnership announced in March. In Washington, U.S. Senate Republicans released a 630-page revised version of the Clarity Act ahead of a Sept. 15 procedural vote, including a requirement that non-decentralized DeFi protocols register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Binance Alpha opened the third round of its Block Street airdrop, Spark said it will shut SparkLend on Gnosis Chain on Sept. 14, and Liquid Network said block production has resumed after a hack-related disruption, though transactions remain paused. Markets were also driven by macro data. U.S. producer prices rose 5.4% year over year in August, above expectations, while CME-based pricing showed the probability of a September Fed rate increase rising to 71.3%. Analysts and market commentators tied the inflation print and higher bond yields to pressure across risk assets, with bitcoin repeatedly discussed around support near $75,000 and resistance in the $83,000 to $85,000 range.

Chinese DRAM maker ChangXin Memory Technologies, or CXMT, has started equipment tendering for a new plant in Shanghai while moving ahead with capacity expansion in multiple locations, according to a ChainCatcher newsflash. The company is currently mass-producing DRAM at Hefei Phase II and Beijing Phase I, with output estimated at the mid-200,000-wafer-per-month range and possibly above 300,000 wafers per month by year-end. CXMT plans to open the Shanghai plant in the fourth quarter of this year, and industry sources said the site is expected to be expanded in two phases, with capacity set to come in well above 100,000 wafers per month. The report also said CXMT plans to open a new Hefei plant in the first half of next year, a new Beijing plant as early as the second half of next year, and another Hefei plant in the first half of the following year. If all of those projects are completed, CXMT could add at least 70,000 to 80,000 wafers per month of new capacity each year from this year through 2028, with long-term capacity potentially exceeding 600,000 wafers per month.

By contrast, memory and semiconductor shares retreated broadly, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 2.66%. Elsewhere, Brent crude surged above $107 a barrel as tensions in the Middle East intensified, making energy the only S&P 500 sector to close higher.

Chinese memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies, or CXMT, has moved ahead of global rivals SK Hynix and Micron in profit margins, according to a report by Nikkei Asia. The report said the company benefited in the second quarter from tight supply in the commodity DRAM market, a segment where pricing conditions turned favorable. CXMT’s key products include DDR5 memory, which has seen price gains in recent months. Nikkei Asia said the shift is taking place in a memory chip industry that has long been dominated by suppliers from South Korea, the United States, and Japan. The report focused on margin performance and market conditions, without adding further operational details in the cited brief.

tradeXYZ has introduced a new Events feature as part of its plan to turn Hyperliquid into what it describes as a general-purpose exchange. The idea is to build a single composable system where users can trade both financial assets and real-world outcomes from one account. According to the announcement cited by ChainCatcher, users can deposit spot BTC in a unified tradeXYZ account, borrow USDC through portfolio margin, open a pre-IPO SpaceX perpetual position, hedge an upcoming SK Hynix earnings event through an event market, and pick the winner of the U.S. Open. The company said Events will span sports, politics, economics, and financial markets, with more categories and contract formats planned over time. The initial Up/Down markets cover stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO products. tradeXYZ said these markets are powered by the depth and liquidity of perpetual contracts on HIP-3. Those perpetuals provide continuous price discovery and also serve as the settlement source. Contract pricing is based on XYZ liquid market prices rather than external oracles.
