EUR/JPY fell 0.8% to 179.97, its lowest level since August.

South Korea's KOSPI index surpassed 6,900, up 3.34% at the open. Samsung Electronics rose 4.5% and SK Hynix gained 5.4%.

Wens Foodstuff said H1 poultry operations posted a small loss of about 100 mln yuan, hit by weak yellow‑feather broiler prices. Since August prices have rebounded sharply to roughly 6.9 yuan/jin; the company estimates poultry turned profitable in August. Q3 is the seasonal meat‑chicken peak and Wens expects further cyclical upside from back‑to‑school institutional catering and holiday stocking, forecasting the poultry business should contribute a reasonable full‑year profit. Wens expects 2027 poultry conditions to be better than 2026. The company’s 2026 broiler sales target is a 5–10% increase versus 2025, with a medium‑to‑long‑term sales goal of 1.8 bln birds. In 1H poultry accounted for about 30–40% of revenue and provided stable cash flow, underscoring the hedging role of its dual core businesses.
