United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note USD/JPY held in a narrow band around 159.35, with a slight uptick in upward momentum. They expect this to translate into trading between 159.15 and 159.65 rather than a sustained advance. Over the coming weeks, they maintain a neutral stance, looking for range-bound price action between 157.90 and 159.80.

Dollar-Yen seen confined to broad band

"24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, USD traded within a range of 159.10/159.52, closing little changed at 159.39 (+0.06%). Although there has been a slight increase in upward momentum, this is likely to lead to a higher range of 159.15/159.65 rather than a continued advance."

"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: Our most recent narrative was from Tuesday (25 Aug, spot at 159.15), when we highlighted that USD “is likely to trade in a range between 157.90 and 159.80.” Although USD traded in a quiet manner over the past few days, we continue to hold the same view for now."

Marvell Stock Forecast: Revenue Hits Record High Yet Shares Drop Over 7% Post-Market, Can MRVL Keep Rising?

TradingKey - On August 27 EST, Marvell (MRVL) shares fell 1.30% during regular trading to close at $241.93. The stock dropped more than 7% in after-hours trading after the company released its second-quarter fiscal 2027 financial results. Notably, the decline was not driven by deteriorating business performance—Marvell's revenue, EPS, data center revenue, and third-quarter guidance all met or exceeded market expectations, while the company also raised its revenue forecasts for fiscal years 2027 and 2028. The market reaction was more likely attributable to elevated expectations following a significant prior stock rally and the timeline for realizing new revenue from its partnership with Google (GOOGL).

Memory Stocks Reverse Early Gains, Micron Drops 3% as Trump Administration Plans New Semiconductor Tariffs

The Trump administration is considering launching a new round of broad semiconductor tariffs, potentially expanding the scope from chips themselves to chip-containing products such as laptops, gaming consoles, and data center servers. The core contradiction of this policy is that while the U.S. seeks to drive the reshoring of semiconductor manufacturing, it simultaneously relies heavily on imported high-end chips to build AI data centers. If the scope of exemptions is narrowed, both the costs and uncertainties of AI infrastructure investments could rise.
