Goldman Sachs said China Merchants Bank's second-quarter results were solid, with pre-provision operating profit and net profit both beating its estimates, driven by stronger-than-expected fee income and investment gains. The bank said weak retail loan demand was offset by corporate lending, which supported overall credit growth and kept core earnings resilient. Goldman also said investors will continue to focus on retail asset quality and provision coverage, while noting that China Merchants Bank's 14.1% CET1 ratio, ongoing capital accumulation and steady balance-sheet growth should support shareholder returns over time, according to ETNet. Goldman raised its 2026-2028 operating profit forecasts for China Merchants Bank by an average of 2.6% and kept its buy rating on the lender's A shares and H shares. It lifted the H-share target price to HK$59.28 from HK$52.49 and the A-share target price to RMB55.24 from RMB53.81.

Binance Futures will end the Last Price Protected (LPP) period on the USDⓈ-Margined TACUSDT Perpetual Contract, with the Mark Price shifting gradually from the LPP mechanism to the standard Mark Price calculation starting 2026-09-07 06:00 (UTC), according to a Binance announcement. The transition may take up to three hours depending on price volatility and the availability of a stable index price, and uses a mark price smoothing process to limit sudden moves. Trading is not affected during the transition, and open orders and positions will not be cancelled. Once the LPP period ends, the Mark Price will be calculated as the median of Price 1, Price 2 and the Contract Price, following the standard USDⓈ-Margined Futures formulas. The funding rate will then revert to standard perpetual contract rules, with the funding rate cap widening from +0.005%/-0.005% to +2.00%/-2.00% at 2026-09-07 06:00 (UTC): the cap stays at +0.005%/-0.005% as of 04:00 UTC and moves to +2.000%/-2.000% from 08:00 UTC onward. The funding interval will change from every four hours to every one hour once a funding settlement reaches the +2.00%/-2.00% cap. Binance said it may adjust the contract's specifications — including funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, and initial and maintenance margin requirements — from time to time based on market risk conditions, and that the English version prevails over any translations.
