The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strike was a first-stage response to a US attack on Iran's coastal bases.

On July 13 morning Duofuduo shares hit the daily down-limit; at midday the stock was 36.99 yuan, down 10%. On July 10 the company disclosed a 1H 2026 profit forecast of 450–560 mln yuan in net profit attributable to shareholders, up 776.68–990.98% YoY. Market participants said LiPF6 (lithium hexafluorophosphate) prices softened in Q2 while upstream lithium carbonate rose, squeezing margins and reducing per-ton profits. After a prior sharp share rally the company clarified semiconductor-grade hydrofluoric acid represents a negligible share of sales and it has no production line, products or substantive orders for tungsten hexafluoride, so short-term delivery is unlikely. Duofuduo said the industry has seasonal Q2 weakness in prices and shipments, lithium carbonate increases have an impact, and the company may raise product prices to offset higher raw-material costs. Third-party quotes put LiPF6 near 100,000 yuan/ton. Company-specific details will be disclosed in the formal interim report.

SK Hynix’s ADR began trading on Nasdaq on July 10, 2026 and jumped 12.76% on its debut; Seoul-listed shares fell 14.5% the same day. The ADR rally reflects global investors paying up for scarce, direct exposure to an AI-storage leader; the Seoul selloff reflects profit-taking after prior gains and skepticism about whether HBM4 will ramp volume in Q2 as hoped. Market implication: without hard order, shipment or margin confirmation for HBM4, the AI-storage narrative premium is vulnerable to being repriced back to delivery and earnings metrics.
