Pacific Investment Management Co. said the flood of debt financing for AI capital expenditures is causing “indigestion” in fixed-income markets and fueling yields, according to Bloomberg. The firm said the dynamic should still support decent longer-term returns for investors.

Counterpoint Research said the global pure-play foundry semiconductor market grew 29% year on year in the second quarter, driven mainly by surging demand for AI chips. According to Sina Finance, the report said AI-related orders and capacity reallocation remained the main drivers of supply-demand imbalances in advanced and mature process nodes. TSMC kept its market lead in the second quarter with a 73% share, ranking first for a second straight quarter. According to Sina Finance, Counterpoint Research said TSMC's strong performance was mainly supported by mass production of 2-nanometer chips, expanded 3-nanometer capacity, and supply shortages in mature 8-inch and 12-inch processes as well as advanced packaging. Samsung Electronics remained in second place, with its market share broadly unchanged from the previous quarter. According to Sina Finance, the report said Samsung's main goal remained improving the yield of its SF2 process, while higher wafer prices in the first half and demand for SF4 and SF5 were also key factors behind revenue growth.

Hong Kong Investment Promotion Agency official Leung Hon-king and Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority Chairman Bilal Bin Saqib outlined different approaches to digital asset regulation during a roundtable at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong. According to Foresight News, Leung said Hong Kong values consistency as an international financial center, arguing that frequent rule changes make it difficult for market participants to engage. He said Hong Kong is laying out a roadmap and sticking to it, introducing new measures every six to 12 months so companies can plan investments over three- to five-year cycles. He also said Hong Kong aims to bring $320 trillion in traditional financial assets onchain while embracing digital assets. Saqib said Pakistan is prioritizing speed. He said the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority took six months from the passage of the relevant bill to the release of regulatory rules, using only 8% of the government-allocated budget. He added that in emerging economies, existing institutional structures still operate on 19th- and 20th-century tracks, while technology is advancing at machine speed and internet speed. Saqib said execution still requires sufficient risk mitigation, but for countries like Pakistan, the cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action.

U.S. corporate profits reached a record high, while the share of economic output going to workers fell to a historic low. According to Sina Finance, data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that pretax corporate profits in the second quarter reached an annualized $4.8 trillion, equal to 18% of national income and the highest share since World War II. Employee wages and benefits fell to 60% of national income, the lowest level since the 1950s. JPMorgan economist Abel Reinhart said labor compensation has been shrinking as a share of national income over the long term, while much of that income has been converted into corporate profit margins. The article said the gap has deepened social division in the United States under U.S. President Donald Trump, with more voters expressing dissatisfaction with the economy. It added that this year's profit surge helped push U.S. stocks to record highs, supported by the artificial intelligence boom, higher oil prices after the Trump administration went to war with Iran, and stronger returns in retirement accounts. Inflation also outpaced wage growth, with real hourly earnings down 0.2% year over year in July. Elizabeth Pancotti, vice president of policy at the progressive think tank Groundwork Collaborative, said gains at the top far exceeded growth for people at the bottom, and described the economy as split into two separate systems: one for people living mainly on investments and passive income, and another for ordinary workers who go to work every day. The article said Trump's large tax cuts mainly benefited companies and high-income groups, while funding for programs such as food stamps was reduced. It added that the widening gap between corporate and investor wealth on one side and low-income households on the other has fueled stronger voter backlash and growing concern over inequality.
