On August 25, former Bank of Japan official Seiji Adachi stated that the Bank of Japan is likely to raise interest rates next month, confirming widespread market predictions. In an interview, Adachi said, "The Bank of Japan has essentially found itself in a dilemma. The market has almost fully priced in a rate hike. If the central bank does not raise rates, the yen could weaken significantly again." Previously, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pointed out that policy action is needed after foreign exchange intervention and expressed hope that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda would raise rates. "Yellen has repeatedly hinted that the Bank of Japan will be the next institution to take action," Adachi noted. "Given this, the government cannot tell the Bank of Japan, 'Don't do that.'" Adachi pointed out that Japan's inflation momentum is strong, and after the anticipated rate hike in September, further increases are likely. He stated, "I believe the Bank of Japan will take action again in January next year, and the rate hike cycle is very likely to continue for some time, possibly exceeding the previously considered endpoint of 1.25% or 1.5%."

On August 25, The New York Times reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the recent near-collapse of the AI hedge fund Situational Awareness, and has issued subpoenas to major Wall Street banks involved in trading the fund and providing leveraged financing. According to informed sources, the SEC has requested banks to provide the timeline of the fund's trading activities and relevant information regarding communications with lenders about borrowed funds, and has asked them to preserve all materials related to the fund. Situational Awareness was founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner and had achieved high returns during the AI boom. At its peak, the fund managed over $30 billion in assets and borrowed hundreds of billions to amplify its investments. However, at the end of last month, as the stock prices of popular AI companies fell and traditional tech stocks that it shorted rose, the fund's losses quickly escalated, ultimately forcing it to conduct a 'fire sale' and sell off most of its stock portfolio to Citadel at a discount. The SEC stated that the investigation is still in its early stages and does not necessarily imply that penalties will follow. Situational Awareness has not been accused of any wrongdoing. The fund stated that it will 'fully cooperate with any regulatory requirements'.
