TSMC considers building a new campus in Texas to add investment to its chip manufacturing expansion plan in the United States
According to people familiar with the matter, the potential investment plan will include several wafer factories, but this is contingent on the U.S. Congress extending the advanced manufacturing tax credits that are set to expire at the end of this year.TSMCTo date, $265 billion has been invested in building manufacturing facilities in Arizona, and the North American market has contributed over 75% of the company's wafer revenue this year. AI demand remains strong, with customers such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Supermicro placing large orders for advanced manufacturing processes, leading to tight capacity at TSMC. In the past year, equipment capital expenditures have nearly doubled. If the Texas project is ultimately confirmed, the cost of each wafer factory is expected to be at least $20 billion. However, the current plans are still in the early stages, and the details have not yet been made public. (Bloomberg)

Global Macroeconomics
Trump criticized high interest rates in an interview and defended Walsh
In an interview with Time magazine, Trump stated that the Federal Reserve's continuous interest rate hikes are "quite bad," but he added that he does not "blame Kevin," referring to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. He attributed the responsibility for the hikes to Federal Reserve officials appointed by the previous administration and reiterated his view that the United States should maintain the lowest interest rates in the world. Trump pointed out that today's good economic data has instead led to rising borrowing costs. He believes that higher interest rates are mainly due to concerns about inflation, rather than reflecting a strong U.S. economy. He also added, "A certain degree of inflation can also help reduce debt quickly."
U.S.-Iranian negotiations reach a deadlock; Rubio issues an "eviction order" to the Iranian delegation
According to reports, a U.S. official and another informed source revealed that after the U.S.-Iran negotiations came to a standstill, Rubio demanded on Monday that the Iranian delegation to the United Nations leave the United States immediately. Although the Iranian delegation might have left the U.S. soon anyway, Rubio's move constituted a rare diplomatic rebuke and highlighted the deep-seated distrust between the two countries at a time when efforts to end the war have been yielding little progress. The Qatari mediation team had previously attempted to facilitate a breakthrough in U.S.-Iranian diplomacy, but with little success, as neither side was willing to make concessions. The Iranian officials who were asked to leave New York included Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif.
Goldman Sachs delays the Fed's interest rate hike expectations from October to December
Goldman Sachs Group stated that the inflation data released by the United States on Wednesday, combined with the speech delivered yesterday by Federal Reserve Chairman William姆斯, leads them to believe that it is now unlikely for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in October.
Economists such as Jan Hatzius, David Mericle, and Alec Phillips stated in a research report that according to the latest inflation report, they expect the year-on-year growth rate of core PCE in the fourth quarter to be 3.0%, which is significantly lower than the median forecast of 3.4% among FOMC participants.
As a result, the expectation for a second interest rate hike has been postponed to December, and it is also believed that there is a high likelihood that FOMC will ultimately decide that further rate hikes are not necessary.
Fed's Kashkari: Even if PCE data is lower than expected, inflation "is still too high"
Neel Kashkari, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, stated that although the latest data is lower than what economists expected, rising prices remain a concerning issue. "Inflation is still too high. ... There are various ways to measure inflation, but it is currently at around 3%. It has been at a high level for over five years. I don't think today's inflation data has changed my assessment of this issue to any significant extent."
The US and South Korea will launch $200 billion in investments; Trump announces three major energy projects

In accordance with the $350 billion South Korea Strategic Trade and Investment Agreement that I reached with President Moon Jae-in last year, we will build American Energy and American Power projects across the U.S. First, the U.S. and South Korea will advance a $120 billion nuclear power project, constructing 8 large nuclear reactors in the U.S. – including 6 Westinghouse AP1000 reactors and 2 South Korean APR-1400 reactors. Second, the U.S. and South Korea have agreed to launch a $50 billion Alaska liquefied natural gas project to develop Alaska's abundant resources, build new American natural gas infrastructure, with American workers participating in the construction. Third, a large natural gas power generation project with a capacity of 6.4 gigawatts and a cost of $22 billion will be built in Esinnaal, Texas. This will provide Texas with a significant additional reliable power supply capacity."
