# US Jul CPI due at 20:30 tonight; BYD Qin Max Flash-Charge goes on sale tomorrow | Daily News Recap

## 0812 ｜**Dolphin's Watchlist**

## 🐬 Macro / Sector

**1.** At 8:30 a.m. ET Wed (8:30 p.m. Beijing), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases Jul CPI, just weeks ahead of the Sep FOMC. 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(01211.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(09988.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(SPCX.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.
