1. On October 7th, SemiAnalysis disclosed that clients reported continuous power outages, network upgrade interruptions, storage failures, and air quality control issues at IREN's data centers in Prince George and Mackenzie, Canada, and stated that tests revealed technical defects.
2. On October 7th, AI data center developers saw a collective downturn; IREN’s expansion still requires significant capital investment. Against the backdrop of rising financing costs and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increasing to about 5.3%, the $1.381 billion contract commitments and subsequent risks of financing and dilution have been reassessed.
3. On October 7th, crypto mining companies and AI infrastructure sectors generally weakened. IREN dropped in tandem with peers such as Hut 8, Applied Digital, TeraWulf, and Core Scientific, with the sector pullback exacerbating individual stock declines.

Demand for Japan's 30-year government bond auction exceeds the 12-month average level.
Demand for Japan’s 30-year government bond auction surpassed the average level of the past 12 months, as higher yields attracted investors. The bid-to-cover ratio for Thursday’s auction was 3.88, up from 3.79 at the previous auction and higher than the 12-month average of 3.56. Following the auction, Japanese government bond prices remained generally stable.

This week, yields on Japan’s 30-year government bonds reached their highest level since issuance. Tuesday’s auction for Japan’s 10-year government bonds also saw robust demand, with high yields supporting buying interest.
