On August 26, Australia's second largest pension fund, the Australian Retirement Trust (ART), is making a contrary bet on the yen. Managing approximately AUD 370 billion (about USD 265 billion) in assets, ART has been steadily increasing its yen holdings over the past six months, with its yen allocation reaching a multi-year high. As the yen approaches 160 against the dollar, ART is adding to its positions, with some funds coming from a reduction in dollar exposure. ART's senior portfolio manager, Jimmy Louca, stated that the market may be overestimating the impact of energy prices on the yen while underestimating the possibility of interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. Current interest rate swaps indicate an approximately 80% probability of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan in September, with the market fully pricing in a hike in October. A Reuters survey shows that 57% of economists expect the Bank of Japan to raise rates to 1.25% in September. Meanwhile, ART is currently underweight in U.S. Treasuries by about 0.5 percentage points, citing reasons such as persistently high U.S. inflation, resilient economic conditions, and competition for capital between AI investment booms and government spending. Louca anticipates that the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries may rise further towards 5.5%.

On June 17, SK Hynix announced today that it will eliminate all degree requirements and initiate rolling admissions for entry-level positions. As competition in the AI semiconductor sector intensifies, SK Hynix stated that it will select talent based on actual work capabilities and growth potential, rather than solely on educational background.

SK Hynix's stock rose by 0.92% today.
