According to Sina Finance, the UK Advertising Association warned that the government’s plan to expand restrictions on unhealthy food advertising could affect about £1 billion in ad spending across broadcasting, publishing, and digital platforms, and hit the UK media industry. The association said the proposal would use an updated nutrient profiling model to redefine less healthy foods and determine whether related products can run TV ads before 9 p.m. or online ads at any time, with the aim of tackling childhood obesity. Current ad restrictions took effect in England in January 2026. A study commissioned by the association from Oxford Economics found that widening the definition of unhealthy food would place up to £1 billion of food and drink ad spending under new limits each year. Of that, £80 million to £100 million would be permanently lost as multinational brands move budgets out of the UK. The report said companies are currently focused on adapting to the January 2026 restrictions based on the existing definition and are not prepared for the proposed changes. It added that the main financial burden of compliance comes from legal, governance, and training costs. The UK Food and Drink Federation said another analysis found that restricted products could rise by 40% if the new definition is implemented. The federation said the food industry has already spent hundreds of millions of pounds reformulating products and that keeping the current rules would help companies reach mandatory reporting targets for healthy food sales faster. The association also said Premier Foods, Nomad Foods, Danone North Europe, KP Snacks, and Carlsberg Britvic have pledged to report healthy food sales data from next year ahead of the mandatory requirement. The advertising industry urged the government to drop the proposal and restore its earlier commitment to review the policy five years after the current rules take effect. The association said the revenue loss would severely hit commercial public service broadcasters, directly reducing program production spending and affecting independent production hubs. Chris Walker of the association said companies had only just adapted to the January 2026 rules and were now being pushed into a second wave of complex compliance procedures, creating red tape and policy instability. He called on the government to reconsider the decision and recognize its real economic impact.

Zhipu (02513.HK) fell sharply in Hong Kong trading on September 14, at one point dropping more than 10% to a session low of HK$710 before closing the morning session down 7.25% at HK$735.5, with turnover approaching HK$5 billion, according to Jiemian News. The move came after the company announced late on September 13 that it had completed a new financing round totaling about $5 billion, made up of a $2 billion share placement and a $3 billion zero-coupon convertible bond, with net proceeds already received and earmarked for next-generation GLM model development and computing infrastructure. Jiemian News reported that the placement priced up to 21.965 million new H shares at HK$714 each, raising about $2 billion and representing about 4.5% of the enlarged share capital, while the convertible bond was issued at 100.5% of principal with an initial conversion price of HK$892.5, implying up to 26.365 million new shares if fully converted, or about 5.3% of enlarged capital. The article said the financing is Zhipu's third large fundraising since its January listing and that the company has raised more than HK$75 billion in total over eight months as investors reassess the capital intensity and profitability timeline of large-model developers.

According to CNBC, the Japanese yen's recent gains are prompting investors to look at the Chinese yuan and Canadian dollar as possible alternatives for carry-trade funding. The yen, the best-performing G10 currency, has risen about 6% against the dollar since late July, when authorities intervened in currency markets, and speculators turned net long on the currency in the week to Sept. 8, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data. Hawkish comments from Bank of Japan board members, which left open the possibility of faster rate increases, have helped support the yen, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has continued warning speculators against betting on further weakness. Bank of America said the Chinese yuan is being considered as a contender, and Claudio Piron, head of Asia forex and rates, said China is becoming more like Japan on deflation while Japan is becoming more like China. He added that China's capital account remains far more restricted than Japan's, but offshore CNH bond issuance has increased and foreign multinational companies are seeking funding in those markets. China left benchmark lending rates unchanged last month for the 15th straight month, with the one-year loan prime rate at 3% and the five-year rate at 3.5%. TD Securities said the Canadian dollar could become a more attractive funding currency than the yen, noting that its carry-to-volatility ratio is already comparable to the Japanese currency. The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% earlier this month, and OCBC's Chris Wong said some rotation away from the yen is possible, though Japanese rates would still be low even after another BOJ hike.
