Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission welcomes mainland Chinese insurance institutions to invest in Hong Kong ETFs via the Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect.

According to a Bloomberg report, sources familiar with the matter disclosed that LimX Dynamics, a robotics manufacturer backed by Alibaba, has secretly submitted an application for an IPO in Hong Kong, with plans to raise up to $300 million. The wave of listings for Chinese robotics companies is expanding once again. LimX Dynamics is collaborating with CITIC Securities to advance the transaction. Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, LimX Dynamics is an embodied intelligence robotics firm founded in 2022, focusing on the R&D, manufacturing and commercialization of general-purpose robots. Its core products include full-size humanoid robots LimX Oli and LimX Luna, as well as modular robots of the TRON series, and it has independently developed the humanoid brain system LimX COSA. Centered on three core technologies—hardware design and manufacturing, integration of cognitive and motor intelligence, and embodied intelligence operating system—the company is committed to advancing the deployment of physical-world AGI, with its products already applied in fields such as scientific research, commercial services and industrial inspection. The firm has secured strategic investments from Alibaba, JD.com and other investors, and recently completed multiple rounds of financing.

Citrini analyst Jukan noted that MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) delivery cycles are experiencing severe divergence based on product specifications. Lead times for general-purpose products remain stable at 14 to 18 weeks (roughly 3.5 to 4.5 months), while high-capacitance and high-voltage products take about 4 to 5 months. However, high-end products for AI servers have entered a state of "severe supply tightness". Server-grade MLCCs from Murata and Samsung Electro-Mechanics have delivery times exceeding 20 weeks (over 5 months). Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ average lead time for some high-capacitance products is around 40 weeks, while Murata’s high-capacitance products of 1 microfarad and above saw their July delivery times rise to 30 weeks from 24 weeks in June. Some channel quotations even reach 36 weeks, nearly 10 months. This extreme divergence is expected to persist until the second half of 2026. The core driver of this gap is robust demand from AI servers and data centers: AI servers require 5 to 13 times more high-capacitance, miniaturized, high-reliability MLCCs than traditional servers. New capacity expansion has been delayed from Q4 2026 to 2027, so the supply-demand imbalance is unlikely to ease in the short term. Major manufacturers have simultaneously raised prices and expanded long-term supply agreements. Delivery times exceeding 5 months, even approaching a year, not only signal that manufacturers cannot rapidly boost supply in the short term, but also mark the start of enhanced pricing power and substantial improvements in profitability driven by high-value product portfolios. The AI bottleneck is spreading from GPUs and memory to the smallest components on circuit boards.

Bank of America’s August global fund manager survey shows investors’ confidence that U.S. stocks will outperform other regional stock markets has further strengthened. The survey found that 27% of surveyed fund managers hold an overweight position in U.S. stocks relative to global benchmark weights, up 3 percentage points from July and hitting the highest level since December 2024. Year-to-date, U.S. equities as a whole have outperformed most overseas markets: the S&P 500 index has gained 13% cumulatively, while the Euro Stoxx 600 index has risen 10%. However, Japanese and South Korean stock markets have still performed better than U.S. equities over the same period.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, a wallet suspected to be linked to the Ethena team deposited 17 million ENA tokens to FalconX one hour ago, valued at approximately $14.09 million, likely for over-the-counter (OTC) sale. The wallet had previously received ENA from Ethena’s Gnosis Safe last year.
