Iranian Navy warns vessels to coordinate when passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, citing a supply chain survey, said
According to CoinWorld news, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, citing supply chain surveys, said that due to yield and design adjustment issues with EMIB advanced packaging substrates, the Core A design progress of Google's next-generation TPU v9 has been delayed by about three weeks, and the Core B and I/O portions handled by MediaTek need to be modified accordingly. The analyst expects that the relevant chip may complete tape-out in January 2027 and enter mass production in the second quarter, with initial shipments possibly delayed to the first quarter of 2028; this will create short-term pressure on MediaTek, but Marvell's medium- to long-term position in Google's ASIC supply chain remains solid.
