Get Up and Go with the ROUGH—DRAFT® "Daily Commute" Capsule
ROUGH—DRAFT®has released its 'Daily Commute' capsule, a concise, two-item collection of staples made to provide wearers with the tools they need to tackle their everyday excursions. Consisting of the Courier Zip Tote and the Traveler 1/2 Zip, the capsule's offerings are rooted in functional simplicity, a no-frills shade of olive, and high-quality materials, all to provide subtle nods to outdoor gear and a spirit of exploration. 'Every piece [we create] is influenced by elements of nature or outdoor gear we've come across over the years, but reinterpreted through a broader lens for everyday wear,' ROUGH—DRAFT® founder Timothy Clark told Hypebeast in a February installment ofHypebeast Community Center.
To this end, the Courier Zip Tote, crafted in collaboration with Chicago-based bagmakers 1733, is built from a blend of Japanese organic cotton and recycled nylon for a smooth hand feel and excellent durability. It features a modular, removable strap that can be worn on either shoulder or removed so the bag can be hand-carried. Other details include YKK EVERBRIGHT® zippers and internal pockets so small goods can be seperated from larger ones.
Elsewhere, the Traveler 1/2 Zip features a two-layer construction with the same Japanese cotton/nylon blend for its exterior and a half-lined interior set up with e.dye® recycled polyester pellets. The brand notes that this lining provides 'color stability' by directly coloring the raw material that it's made from before it's spun into fabric, which eliminates the need to use water in the dyeing process. Besides this aspect of sustainability, the material also makes the 1/2 zip quick-drying and anti-pilling.
Though the Courier Zip tote sold out almost immediately upon release, the Traveler 1/2 Zip is available via theROUGH—DRAFT® webstorenow and is priced at $330 USD.

SoftBank Group shares plunge over 9% as Asian tech stocks decline
Shares of SoftBank Group plunged as much as 9.17% Wednesday, as technology stock in Asia declined, tracking losses in U.S. peers overnight. The Japanese tech-focused investment firm saw shares drop for a second consecutive session, following its announcement of a $2 billion investment in Intel. Intel shares rose 6.97% to close at $25.31 Tuesday stateside. Other Japanese tech stocks also declined, with semiconductor giant Advantest falling as much as 6.27%. Meanwhile, shares in Renesas Electronics and Tokyo Electron were last seen trading 2.46% and 0.75% lower, respectively. Technology companies in South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, also fell after U.S. tech stocks dropped overnight spurred by declines in artificial intelligence darling Nvidia's shares overnight. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is considering the federal government taking equity stakes in semiconductor companies that get funding under the CHIPS Act for building plants in the U.S, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The U.S. CHIPS and Science Act seeks to boost the country's semiconductor industry, scientific research and innovation. Shares of Taiwanese chip company TSMC and manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry — known globally as Foxconn — declined 1.69% and 2.16%, respectively. TSMC manufactures Nvidia's high-performance graphics processing units that help power large language models, while Foxconn has a strategic partnership with Nvidia to build "AI factories." Meanwhile, South Korean tech stocks mostly fell with shares of chipmaker SK Hynix down 3.33%. Samsung Electronics, however, rose 0.75%. TSMC, Samsung and SK Hynix are among companies that have received funding under the CHIPS Act. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Tech index lost 0.87% in early trade. The worst performing stocks on the index were Kuaishou Technology which declined 4.8%, JD Health International which dropped 3.31% and Horizon Robotics which lost 2.29%. Losses were also seen tech majors Alibaba Group, down 1.44%, and Xiaomi Corp that lost 1.34%.

Dollar mixed as traders wait on Jackson Hole
By Karen Brettell NEW YORK (Reuters) -The dollar was mixed on Tuesday as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium later this week for further clues on U.S. interest rate policy. A speech on Friday by Fed Chair Jerome Powell is this week's main focus, with little major economic data to drive market direction. Traders are tuned into whether Powell will push back against market pricing of a rate cut in September. Traders ramped up bets on a rate cut at the Fed's September 16-17 meeting after a weak July jobs report, and as last month's consumer price inflation report showed limited upward pressure from tariffs. But a hotter-than-expected July producer price reading has tempered some rate-cut expectations. Powell has said he is reluctant to cut rates due to an expected increase in inflation this summer from tariffs. "Last week, when we had about 25 basis points priced in for September, and more than two cuts for the rest of the year, there was probably some risk that the Powell speech would disappoint those expectations if he wasn't clear enough in committing to a September cut," said Vassili Serebriakov, an FX and macro strategist at UBS in New York. "Now that we're pricing in about 20 basis points for September and just slightly over 50 basis points for the rest of the year, I think the risks are much more balanced," Serebriakov added. Traders are pricing in 54 basis points of cuts by year-end. The Fed will also release minutes from its July 29-30 meeting on Wednesday, though they may offer limited insight as the meeting came before July's weak jobs report. Data on Tuesday showed groundbreaking for new U.S. single-family homes and permits for future construction rose in July even as high mortgage rates and economic uncertainty continued to hamper home purchases. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, was last up 0.15% on the day at 98.27, with the euro down 0.12% at $1.1646. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar weakened 0.22% to 147.54. Currency moves have been relatively muted for the past few weeks following a steep drop in the dollar in the first half of the year. "There's been a bit of de-risking in FX over the summer and now investors are just waiting for the more clear catalyst for the next move," said Serebriakov. In other currencies, sterling slipped 0.16% to $1.348. The Aussie dropped 0.62% to $0.6451, the weakest since August 5. Traders are also focused on any developments in peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he hoped Russian President Vladimir Putin would move forward on ending the war in Ukraine but conceded that the Kremlin leader may not want to make a deal at all, adding this would create a "rough situation" for Putin.
