According to an HKEX filing, Tencent Holdings (00700.HK) repurchased 667,000 shares on Aug 21 for HK$300.3 mln.

Russia's central bank foreign-exchange and gold reserves for the week to Aug. 14 were $755.6 billion, up from $740.0 billion the previous week.

As of Aug. 19, foreign official institutions held about $373bn in the Fed’s foreign RRP facility, up roughly $56bn since Aug. 5 — the largest two‑week increase since Oct. 2022. Coupled with recent global long‑bond selling, the flows point to rising demand from overseas official funds for short‑duration, highly liquid dollar assets. In June, foreign central banks net‑sold nearly $10bn of U.S. Treasuries, and overseas official USTs in NY Fed custody fell to multi‑year lows, signaling strong dollar cash demand but increased caution on taking long‑duration UST risk.
