SK Hynix (SKHY.O) said in a filing it has not decided whether to build a semiconductor production facility in Japan, responding to media reports. The company said it is evaluating options, including adding production bases to strengthen its memory chip business, but has made no determinations. It will disclose further information when details are confirmed or within one month of this filing.

US Treasury official Bessent said the cap on a single bond buyback could exceed $4bn, partly as a signal that yields do not reflect fundamentals. The Treasury may announce stepped-up fiscal consolidation and Bessent said the deficit has very likely already peaked. He dismissed a $40 trillion debt headline as not especially meaningful and said markets are somewhat overreacting. Any balance-sheet changes would be coordinated with the Federal Reserve, he added, and interest-rate decisions are unrelated to buyback choices. Market indicators point to lower inflation ahead. A press briefing on Iran-related economic sanctions is scheduled for next Monday.
