Summary · why it matters

Chinese humanoid robot maker Unitree surged about 600% on its market debut, valuing the company at around $50 billion as retail investors flocked to the IPO on the tech-focused STAR Market. The startup, which competes with Hyundai Motor Group-owned Boston Dynamics and Tesla, has backing from Tencent, Alibaba and DeepSeek, and at least a half dozen other Chinese humanoid robotics firms are preparing to go public. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields remain near multi-decade highs but got some relief after a below-forecast industrial production report, with attention turning to the 20-year bond auction and minutes from the Federal Reserve's July meeting. Analysts point to a rising term premium on long bonds, near its highest in a decade, as investors demand compensation for debt sustainability uncertainties. Crude oil prices stayed elevated amid the Iran conflict, while the crack spread between crude and diesel futures hit a record high, signaling higher fuel costs ahead.
