USDA raised 2026/27 corn production forecasts to 57 mln tonnes for Argentina (previously 55 mln) and 141 mln tonnes for Brazil (previously 139 mln).

Liliang Diamond said at an investor event its current 600 commissioned units cannot meet demand; a new project started construction and installation in July and has already reached above-design commissioning, enabling rapid capacity expansion. The firm runs high‑power equipment on two technical routes — single‑crystal and polycrystalline — and claims an advantage in large‑size single‑crystal production; it plans to scale equipment to 3,000 units over time. To lower power costs the company will build a 110kV substation and deploy on‑site PV and wind with direct green‑power connections. Management says capacity is currently tight and sustained application penetration, particularly in consumer electronics, would materially increase market size. Diamond is described as an irreplaceable high‑performance thermal medium for chip cooling; the company sees cost‑reduction potential across the chain, with crystal growth and laser cutting offering the largest unit‑cost upside. Current equipment are jointly designed; the firm plans to develop its own equipment. It attributes lower unit cost for small single‑crystal wafers versus polycrystalline wafers to cheaper seed crystals, higher good‑crystal yield, lower processing difficulty and strong market competition.

【長安科技更名天樞科技 官方迴應：暫無上市計劃】11月10日，重慶長安科技有限責任公司已更名爲天樞科技（重慶）有限責任公司（以下簡稱天樞科技）。在長安汽車的架構中，天樞科技是其智能化投入的落地主體。按照規劃，未來十年長安將在新汽車領域投入2000億元，其中以天樞科技爲中心的新汽車科技產業鏈累計投入超1500億元。11月10日，天樞科技內部人員透露：“天樞領航目前還只在‘長安系’車型上實現落地量產。”有分析認爲，天樞科技更名，將增資路徑從內部增資轉向“引戰”等一系列舉動，意在獨立上市。針對天樞科技獨立上市的傳聞，長安汽車方面迴應：“天樞科技目前沒有上市計劃，還是獨立發展，聚焦天樞領航智能輔助駕駛。”
