Keywords: Slowing AI training, High interest rates, Pullback from highs
1. On September 28, 2026, news of OpenAI suspending high-end model training sparked concerns about a slowdown in data center investment. The semiconductor sector weakened in tandem, with chip stocks such as Arm, Intel, AMD, and Micron declining, putting pressure on the optical communications and semiconductor growth sectors to which AXT belongs.
2. On September 28, 2026, the yield on the US 30-year Treasury bond rose to 5.54%, a multi-year high. High interest rates increased the discounting pressure on the valuations of growth technology stocks and triggered a reassessment of financing costs and capital returns for AI infrastructure.
3. As of September 28, 2026, AXT had risen 348.62% year-to-date, but declined by 8.23% over the past five days. Technical pullbacks and profit-taking pressures remain following the previous rapid increase, amplifying stock price volatility.

Saudi Arabia and UAE plan to cooperate with Asia to strengthen oil reserves
According to Nikkei News, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will help Asia build up its oil reserves. Despite being dependent on imports, the region has not maintained adequate supplies. Led by Japan, the Asian Zero Emission Community, comprising 11 countries, will hold a ministerial meeting in the Philippines this Thursday. Senior government officials from Saudi Arabia and the UAE will participate in special consultations and are expected to express their intention to cooperate on oil reserves. On October 11, the International Energy Forum will be held in Saudi Arabia. This forum serves as a ministerial-level dialogue between oil-producing and importing countries. Japan is expected to participate and share a cooperation framework with Asia. The outcomes of the Asian Zero Emission Community meeting will be compiled into a joint statement, which will serve as the basis for discussions between member states and Middle Eastern oil-producing countries on strengthening oil reserves. Bilateral talks will follow to finalize the details and scale of such efforts. It is expected that Saudi Arabia and the UAE will expand exports to target countries and prioritize supply in emergencies.
