Geopolitics and market tone
Polish military reported an operation against a Russian drone incursion, with weapons deployed. Broader markets stayed calm.
Polish PM called the incident unprecedented in NATO history, with a full report due in 48 hours and Article 4 talks under consideration.
Asia-Pacific FX wrap focused on the Poland headlines, yet risk appetite remained steady.
Central banks and FX
PBOC set the USD/CNY midpoint at 7.1062 vs 7.1359 estimated, a stronger fix supportive of the yuan.
A US court said Fed Governor Lisa Cook can remain while litigation proceeds. The USD slipped a few points on the news.
Inflation watch
China CPI came in at -0.4% y/y for August vs -0.2% expected, signaling faster deflation.
Goldman Sachs previewed US core CPI above 3% for August, citing tariff effects even as housing and labor pressures cool.
Traders braced for a hot US PPI print today, with CPI tomorrow seen holding core near 3.1% and markets possibly overpricing a 50 bp Fed cut.
Tech and equities
Oracle (ORCL) surged +28.3% after hours on $455B in remaining performance obligations and new multi‑billion AI cloud deals with OpenAI, xAI, Meta, NVIDIA, AMD.
Nasdaq‑100 futures (NQ) held above 23,900, eyeing 24,000, as the Oracle headline reinforced a risk‑on tone.
Separate chatter suggested Oracle could be on track for one of the largest single‑day gains among $500B+ US market caps.
Crypto
Ethereum futures (ETH1!) traded near $4,330, above VWAP $4,319.5, keeping a cautiously bullish bias.
tradeCompass map: bullish above $4,310, bearish below $4,240. Tech strength helped support crypto sentiment.
Bottom line: Geopolitical tension around Poland drew attention but did not derail risk appetite. A stronger yuan fix, accelerating China deflation, and a powerful tech impulse led by Oracle kept the tone constructive as traders pivot to US PPI and CPI.
