On August 24, this week, bond investors will closely monitor Federal Reserve Chairman Waller's speech at Jackson Hole. The market is seeking his responses to ongoing inflation and fiscal issues, as long-term treasuries may face further sell-off risks. Since taking office in May, Waller has rarely provided forward-looking policy guidance. His remarks following the last monetary policy meeting triggered a massive sell-off in the bond market, highlighting the market's heightened sensitivity to his speech on Friday. Molly Brooks, a U.S. interest rate strategist at TD Securities, stated, "I think if he continues to provide no more information, the market will be disappointed, which could further exacerbate the recent sell-off in long-term treasuries." Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, noted that factors continuing to weigh on the bond market remain, including fiscal concerns, inflation, and uncertainty regarding the Fed's responses. Dhiraj Narula, an interest rate strategist at HSBC, mentioned that this presents Waller with an opportunity to soothe investors by clarifying his policy outlook. He said, "In our view, if Chairman Waller can make some judgments about potential inflationary pressures, it could be enough to reduce the term premium associated with uncertainty."

On August 24, ZeroHedge reported that the peak phase of trades related to chip and storage stocks coincided with the day when total return swap (TRS) financing costs reached an all-time high. It suggests that the previous market narrative surrounding the rise of AI, chips, and storage sectors may have obscured significant leverage-driven factors. Institutions like Situational Awareness engaged in high-leverage trading through tools such as TRS, which further amplified the volatility of related assets as the market shifted. Data indicates that Situational Awareness previously faced substantial drawdowns due to high-leverage positions and was forced to liquidate a large number of tech stock holdings, suggesting that the rise of certain popular chip and AI trades may not have been entirely driven by fundamentals.

On August 24, the Term Finance DeFi fixed-rate lending protocol's vault was hit by a governance attack, with blockchain security firms PeckShield and CertiK estimating losses of approximately $8.5 million. The attacker reportedly transferred around 2,843 ETH and $1.68 million USDC, converting the USDC into DAI. The attack targeted the Term Strategy Vaults, which are based on the Yearn V3 architecture; however, Yearn stated that the vulnerability originated from a custom governance mechanism deployed by Term outside the vault, and standard Yearn vaults were not affected. Notably, the Term vault governance transactions were originally set with a 7-day time lock and allowed LPs to vote against proposals, but these protective measures failed to prevent the attack. Prior to the attack, the Term vault's total value locked (TVL) was approximately $12.45 million, with the losses accounting for about 68% of its total TVL. Term Labs is currently investigating the specific attack vector.
