What was supposed to be an anticipated Mon, 22 Jun 2026 rally, has been completely derailed after: Peace talks in Switzerland collapsed on Friday without an official deal. Re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz as Israel continues its unilateral military campaign in Lebanon. With US market short-term sentiments interrupted by above events, will investors have to defer to last week’s US economic reports to justify any investment exercise ?

A drawdown in inventories may signal stronger demand expectations and provide insight into how oil majors view market consumption. Inflation

The current US financial market has flashed a very strong red warning signal: a strong dollar may return, and the US Dollar Index (DXY) is likely to experience a short-to-medium-term impulsive upward rally in the near future. From a technical perspective in the futures market, the DXY has broken through crucial resistance levels. Following the typical price action rules of a "head and shoulders bottom" pattern, the dollar's rise could mirror the previous decline in crude oil, triggering an impulsive upward trend of significant magnitude: $USD Index(USDindex.FOREX)$ $Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund(UDN)$ $Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund(UUP)$</

Our two prior key calls now appear to have largely played out: First, the pullback in U.S. equities from elevated levels would likely remain within an 8% range; second, crude oil had most likely topped, with WTI futures expected to retest the $65 level in the near term.

Over the past week, renewed military clashes between the United States and Iran have shaken global equity markets, while gold has retreated sharply from recent highs and overall risk appetite has come under pressure. The situation on the ground remains highly uncertain, with persistent geopolitical tensions interacting with shifting macro expectations; most investors are adopting a cautious stance, waiting for subsequent key U.S. economic data releases in order to better gauge the Federal Reserve’s policy path and the trajectory of asset prices. As of around 4:00 p.m. on 12 June 2026, the weekly performance of major assets is as follows: In an environment where macro expectations are oscillating, looking at price moves alone is no longer sufficient to capture the main drivers of asset perf

If there is one word to describe US market for week ending Fri, 12 Jun 2026, it would be “resilient”. US equities rebounded from the prior week’s selloff, with small caps leading gains as investors digested (a) inflation data, (b) improving geopolitical developments, and (c) generally supportive economic releases. Risk appetite improved throughout the week after concerns surrounding the Middle East eased and oil prices retreated. By the time US market closed for the week: (see above) DJIA : +0.66% (+335.48 to 51,202.26). S&P 500: +0.65% (+47.72 to 7,431.46). Posted 35 new 52-week highs and 10 new 52-week lows. Nasdaq: +0.70% (+179.41 to 25,888.84). Posted 200 ⁠new 52-week highs ​and 112 new 52-week lows. Interestingly, trading volume on US exchanges was marginally lower at 19.73 billio

The ground has completely shifted under the market’s feet, and the short answer is: forget about an imminent pivot. The June 2026 FOMC meeting completely shattered the expectation of rate cuts. With newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh heavily prioritizing stubbornly sticky inflation over labor market performance, the Fed has officially flipped the script. The current macro landscape directly addresses your questions: Are We Going to See More Hikes, or an Imminent Pivot? Expect hikes, not a pivot. The Fed held rates steady at 3.50%–3.75% in June, but their "dot plot" revealed a stark hawkish shift: 9 out of 18 officials now anticipate at least one rate hike by the end of 2026. Major institutions are rapidly adjusting to this reality: The Fed's Outlook: Core PCE inflation forecasts for 202

At first glance, today's session looked uneventful. $美光科技(MU)$ $苹果(AAPL)$ $纳指100ETF(QQQ)$ $标普500ETF(SPY)$ $闪迪(SNDK)$ The S&P 500 finished nearly flat, suggesting the market was simply consolidating after recent volatility. But beneath the surface, something much more important happened. The market wasn't selling technology. It was repricing different types of technology. During the trading session, Apple became one of the biggest drags on the major indices. Concerns over higher product pricing and its potential impact on consumer demand pressured the stock. Given Apple's enormou

Tech Bloodbath: Fed Repricing and Memory Meltdown Crater SOXL 23% — Is the AI Dream Resetting? The market just delivered a brutal reality check to tech bulls. The Nasdaq plunged 3.29%, but the real devastation hit the semiconductor space, where SOXL cratered an eye-watering 23%. Tech is caught in a vicious double blow from Fed rate repricing and a sudden memory sector meltdown. With yesterday's hawkish FOMC shockwaves continuing to linger, the era of easy liquidity for momentum trades is facing a severe stress test. This isn't just a routine red day; it is a structural repricing of risk assets. 1️⃣ The Vicious "Software-to-Hardware" Unwind We are currently witnessing a violent rebalancing in the "software-to-hardware, growth-to-value" rotation that has been aggressively underway since last

Everyone thinks the market is pulling back because fundamentals are weakening. They’re wrong. 📉🛑 Let’s cut through the noise. Yes, we’ve seen a pullback. Yes, I took a small hit myself this week—but I’m not losing a second of sleep over it. Here is the objective reality: The market just surged a massive 6,000 points from its early June lows. What we are experiencing right now isn't a crash; it hasn’t even broken the major moving averages. It is simply a market taking a well-deserved breath after sprinting to all-time highs. A lot of you are paralyzed, wondering if this is a "fake breakout." Market Insight: A true fake breakout is a sudden, violent trap after a long consolidation. What we have today is a structurally healthy rest. Don't let normal volatility shake you out of a generational

【Money Market Fund】 US$ MMF Net 7-day Yield: +3.61%* During the week, markets processed signals from the June FOMC and Chair Warsh’s debut. HSBC highlights four near-term impacts: a hawkish inflation stance may push front-end yields higher, Warsh’s focus on inflation responsibility supports curve flattening, reduced forward guidance increases front-end volatility, and while balance sheet policy is steady, further QT remains possible. Looking ahead to the week, ongoing Fedspeak and geopolitical developments remain in focus. * Data as of 2026/06/18. 7-day net yield is calculated based on calendar days and NAVs in 5-decimal. 【REITs】 S$ SRT YTD total return: ‑3.80% As of 19 Jun 2026 (Fri), $CSOP iEdge SREIT ETF S$(SRT.SI)$ declined 0.54% WTD in SGD,

Yesterday I talked about a few names I was looking to accumulate on weakness. Today, the catalysts are already starting to emerge. This is exactly why investing isn't about chasing headlines. It's about identifying where capital is going before the market fully prices it in. Most investors wait for the good news and then buy. The problem is that by the time the story becomes obvious, a large part of the upside is usually gone. The biggest returns often come from owning the right assets before the narrative becomes consensus. My core thesis remains unchanged: AI infrastructure spending is still expanding. Data center investment is still accelerating. And the companies building the backbone of the AI economy are still being underestimated. 🔹 $NOK $诺基亚(NO

The sharp reversal we just saw after the post-FOMC selloff highlights a massive tug-of-war in this market. On one side, you have a distinctly hawkish Federal Reserve under new Chair Kevin Warsh signaling rate hikes; on the other, you have powerhouse corporate earnings and a relentless secular boom in AI and hardware. To determine whether this is true resilience or a "fake bounce" ahead of a deeper drop, we have to look closely at the data mechanics driving the price action. What Is Sustaining the Resilience? The core factor preventing a total macro meltdown is simple: unprecedented dispersion and earnings power. The macro backdrop is heavy, but single-stock fundamentals—particularly in tech—are acting as a massive structural buffer. The Semiconductor Complex: This is the undisputed anchor

With rising expectations that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement will be signed, the market appears to have temporarily escaped the shadow of inflation, and U.S. equities have finally welcomed a long-overdue rebound. Many investors may feel this is the time to buy the dip. However, I want to caution: do not yet let your guard down. The market's volatile phase has not passed. The current gains in U.S. stocks remain unstable, and the first leg of the crude oil bearish rally may already be complete. We need to patiently wait for the November 19 ceasefire agreement signing results and specific details to materialize before the market can potentially launch a new bearish phase. More importantly, for both the fragile rebound in U.S. equities and U.S. Treasuries, adopting a selling-options strateg

Economic Preview: Key Data Releases (week of 15Jun2026) Consumer and Demand Indicators May retail sales are expected to rise by 0.5%. Together with core retail sales, this release should provide a clearer view of consumer demand and spending momentum. Energy Market Indicator Crude oil inventory data will also be closely watched, as it offers insight into how producers are positioning for expected market demand. Federal Reserve and Labour Market The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision will be the week’s most closely watched event. Rates are expected to remain unchanged at 3.75%, but the accompanying statement and updated economic projections are likely to have the greatest market impact by shaping expectations for the months ahead. We expect this announcement to introduce volatility ac
