The street expects headline CPI at +3.4% YoY and core CPI at +2.5% YoY. A hotter print would lift the odds of a Sep hike, pressuring U.S. equities, gold, and U.S. Treasuries. ## 🐬 Single Stocks **1.**$ BYD COMPANY.HK BYD Qin Max fast-charging sedan will launch on Aug 13, available in DM-i PHEV and BEV trims. The BEV features a 900V high-voltage fast-charge architecture enabling a 9-minute quick top-up, and comes standard with the 'Tianshen Eye B' driver-assist suite. It fills a gap in the brand's mid-size sedan lineup. Positioned for home fast-charging use, it takes on JV ICE models and same-class NEV peers, with fast charging and generous cabin space as key differentiators, and could lift mid-tier sedan sales. **2.**$ BABA-W.HK Alibaba Cloud's Lingjun Zhenwu M890 supernode instance officially went live today, with the Ulanqab node opening first. Powered by T-Head in-house chips, it offers 64-card 800GB/s high-speed interconnect and can host trillion-parameter MoE models, already compatible with Qwen 3.8-MAX and Kimi K3. This domestic high-spec AI compute is now commercially available, lowering training and inference barriers for ultra-large models. It strengthens Alibaba Cloud's compute ecosystem and helps local LLM vendors cut costs and boost efficiency. **3.**$ SpaceX.US SpaceXAI released the AI agent product 'Grok Bot', now in testing and limited to SuperGrok and Cursor paid subscribers. It supports multi-agent collaboration and can autonomously execute office, marketing, and ops tasks across software and email. Grok 4.6 will roll out this week with broader testing, leveraging a 60 bn acquisition of Cursor to bolster coding capability. This marks a formal entry into general-purpose AI agents, benchmarking against OpenAI and Anthropic offerings, and shores up the To-B capabilities of Musk's AI ecosystem. **3\.
