The Kobeissi Letter said the S&P 500's 200-day moving average has risen for 329 straight trading days, the fourth-longest advance in the past decade. According to Sina Finance, the strategist said this was the third-longest such uptrend since 1990, after a 460-trading-day run that was briefly interrupted in April 2025 by U.S. President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" market selloff. The strategist said that since 1999, when the 200-day moving average has been rising, the S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of 8.5%. According to Sina Finance, the strategist said history suggests the current bull market is far from over. The article said stocks may still rise into year-end on strong corporate earnings, although the gains are likely to be smaller than in the first half. According to Sina Finance, it also said rising Treasury yields and geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have pushed oil prices higher, while Goldman Sachs warned that oil could climb to $120 a barrel if attacks in the strait cause more shipping disruptions. JPMorgan strategist Mislav Matejka said the economy remains resilient and earnings momentum is continuing, with weekly EPS revision data still improving and net revisions positive across all major regions. According to Sina Finance, he added that markets still broadly fear a deep correction, but said any pullback would make valuations more attractive if corporate profits keep rising.

Lululemon's new chief executive, Healy O'Neill, officially took over on Tuesday and inherits a difficult turnaround. According to Sina Finance, the athletic apparel brand reported weak results last week, with North American sales down 12% and full-year guidance cut for the second time in three months. The company said slower performance was driven by a 20% drop in sales of its signature yoga pants. It also cited a marketing misstep in China, where a promotional campaign used Japanese drum imagery, as another blow to sales. The disappointing quarterly report highlighted several long-running problems, including consumers shifting to trendier rivals, a public dispute with founder Chip Wilson, and a weaker consumer backdrop. Emarketer chief analyst Sky Canaves said O'Neill is taking over at a very difficult moment, while GlobalData Managing Director Neil Saunders said investors are waiting for a clear turnaround strategy.

DBS and Citi’s New York office completed a tokenized deposit dollar payment between Singapore and the United States on September 5 using the Swift Digital Ledger. According to ChainCatcher, the transaction was executed over the weekend and took only minutes, compared with traditional cross-border payments that can take up to two business days. This was the ledger’s second confirmed live application. HSBC and Standard Chartered completed the first live tokenized deposit cross-border transaction in August, after Swift announced on July 9 that the ledger was available for initial use. Seventeen banks were preparing to pilot the system, and DBS was the only Asia-headquartered bank among the 12 core design group members. DBS Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Chew said the Swift Digital Ledger is connecting traditional banking infrastructure with emerging digital networks to move tokenized money from experimentation to practical use. Citi South Asia Services Head Mridula Iyer said the weekend live transaction showed that round-the-clock cross-border payments have become a reality. DBS launched DBS Token Services in 2024, offering 24/7 programmable instant value transfer services.

Visa is linking its settlement network with onchain lending, creating another way for stablecoin-linked card programs to access working capital and potentially broadening onchain lending beyond crypto markets into payment settlement. The company announced Tuesday that settlement data from VisaNet will be combined with blockchain-based lending infrastructure, allowing lenders to finance payment obligations using data from the Visa network. According to Cointelegraph, the initiative lets lenders use Visa settlement records together with onchain transaction data to evaluate borrowers and fund their settlement obligations. Visa pointed to Credit Coop, a blockchain-based protocol that extends credit lines to businesses, as an early example of the model. Credit Coop has financed more than $2.5 billion in cumulative settlement volume since 2023 across participating facilities, with more than 3,000 borrowing events and 9,000 repayments. Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s global head of growth products and partnerships, said stablecoins are “changing how money moves” and are creating opportunities to rethink the financial infrastructure that supports payments. Visa’s stablecoin-related payment business is also expanding. More than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs now operate on its network, and payment volume is up nearly 200% year over year. Visa said its stablecoin settlement volume has surpassed a $20 billion annualized run rate, more than 15 times year-ago levels. The company has made stablecoins a larger part of its payments strategy, with management saying during its fiscal third-quarter earnings call in July that it is “investing in each layer of the stablecoin stack,” including blockchains, wallets, infrastructure and applications. That effort includes joining the OpenStandard consortium, which plans to issue the OpenUSD stablecoin and includes Stripe among more than 140 participating businesses. Visa’s expansion comes as stablecoin activity continues to rise. Adjusted stablecoin transaction volume reached a record $1.79 trillion in June, while volume over the past 30 days stands at roughly $1.2 trillion, according to Visa’s analytics dashboard.
