On August 10, ABC News cited former U.S. Department of Defense official Mick Mulroy as saying that negotiations between the United States and Iran have currently "made no progress," and the two sides remain clearly divided in their positions. Analysts point out that the differences between the U.S. and Iran on core issues such as the nuclear question, security arrangements, and regional influence remain difficult to bridge. Although diplomatic channels remain open, the likelihood of a breakthrough in the short term is limited. Earlier, the Iranian side indicated that it is close to reaching an agreement with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but Tehran still refuses to resume direct negotiations with the United States until relevant conditions are met. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said an agreement might be imminent, but Trump subsequently stated that the United States is currently only in a "half-negotiation" state and hopes to continue applying economic pressure on Iran. As the situation in the Middle East continues to draw attention, the market remains closely focused on changes in U.S.-Iran relations and their potential impact on energy prices and global risk assets.

August 10, according to The Information, Microsoft's (MSFT.O) self-developed AI chip project has shown signs of recovery after a slow start. Microsoft believes its in-house MAIA chip can run its own developed models and OpenAI's models at lower cost. The company plans to increase its own usage of MAIA chips, actively pursue major customers, and significantly boost related chip production. It is reported that Microsoft plans to release the next-generation MAIA 300 AI chip in September 2026. Microsoft has been in talks with TSMC (TSM.N) to secure production capacity for over 300,000 MAIA chips, with deliveries in 2027.

On August 10, Intel announced plans to raise approximately $15 billion through a public offering of common stock to strengthen its balance sheet and support investments in AI computing, proprietary chips, advanced packaging, external wafer foundry services, and "physical AI" related businesses. The company stated that the proceeds from this offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital, to support future growth opportunities while maintaining its investment-grade credit rating. The offering is underwriter-led and is not an "at-the-market" (ATM) program. The shares have not yet been priced or sold. The underwriters are also expected to receive a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $2.25 billion in shares, bringing the total offering size to as much as $17.25 billion. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are acting as joint bookrunners. Intel's stock has risen more than 175% so far this year, but fell as much as 4.62% in premarket trading on Monday following the fundraising news. The financing comes amid a rapid expansion phase in global AI infrastructure investment. According to reports, AI capital expenditure is expected to reach $1 trillion this year, with hyperscale cloud companies gradually shifting from reliance on free cash flow and debt financing to equity financing. Previously, Google's parent company Alphabet had already entered the equity market on a large scale to raise funds, while Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta still rely mainly on cash flow, debt, leasing, and structured financing to support AI expansion. Goldman Sachs estimates that hyperscale cloud capital expenditure could further rise to $1.4 trillion by 2027. Intel's fundraising is seen as another example in the wave of AI infrastructure investment, showing that as AI computing demand continues to expand, related companies are seeking more capital channels to support long-term growth.

On August 10, the Token expenditure price index fell to 1.1635, continuing to decline since peaking at the end of May (high of 2.0651 on May 28), with a cumulative drop of 43.7% in two months. The price has fallen below the 1.2446 level at the end of 2025, officially hitting a new low for the year, marking the return of AI computing power pricing to the starting point of this expansion cycle. Note: Selling Token is currently an important source of revenue for the AI industry. Its price is one of the signals to measure the current supply and demand situation of computing power. If Token prices remain high, cloud service providers have the incentive to purchase more GPUs, DRAM memory, and expand data centers. Conversely, one should be wary of AI companies' 'consumption downgrade', which becomes a leading indicator of the end of this hardware boom cycle. Token price data comes from global top AI models such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek.
