While the broader market held its ground, the software sector didn't just leak—it hemorrhaged. $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $Salesforce.com(CRM)$ and $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ all tumbled in a move that signals a massive shift in market structure. What’s happening? OpenAI & Anthropic threats software again Two major announcements acted as the "last straw" for investors yesterday: OpenAI’s Revenue Pivot: CRO Diane Drexel revealed that enterprise business now accounts for over 40% of OpenAI’s revenue, on track to match consumer revenue by year-end.

Wednesday’s market gave the bears a masterclass in "violent aesthetics."

As the gentle rain of Qingming Festival meets the bright dawn of Easter, this week marks a rare “spring crossover” moment. One brings misty memories of willow branches and quiet remembrance; the other bursts with colorful eggs and the promise of new life.

The recent market crash has rattled plenty of investors. Yet Buffett brushed it off in a single line: "This is nothing." This isn't empty reassurance. In his own historical frame of reference, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has gone through three separate drawdowns exceeding 50%. Measured against that, the current pullback barely registers. This is the calm verdict of an investor who has survived more market cycles than most people can count. Staying on the Sidelines Isn't Pessimism — It's Waiting for the Right Price People ask: why isn't Buffett buying? His answer was equally blunt: "We aren't in it to make 5% or 6%." What he really means is that for a vehicle of Berkshire's size and investment philosophy, the current level of decline simply doesn't offer the odds that justify a large-scale m

Stocks down. Bonds down. Gold down. March 2026 was the month the playbook stopped working.March delivered something rarely seen: a true indiscriminate selloff. Traditional safe havens and risk assets fell together, leaving investors with almost nowhere to shelter. The numbers were stark — $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ closed Q1 down 7.11%, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ off 4.63% — but the index figures only tell part of the story.$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ briefly touched $4,100, then reversed hard. Silver cratered 27% in a single session on January 30th. The assets you'd normally rotate into when equities wobble... wobbled right along with them.So what actually happened?The Month

$Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ fell about 7%, $Western Digital(WDC)$ and $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ fell 4%. That's all because of TurboQuant. Google Research has quietly published TurboQuant — a compression algorithm that makes AI inference 8× faster and uses 6× less memory, with zero accuracy loss and no retraining required. Morgan Stanley is calling it "another DeepSeek moment." The market reacted immediately: memory stocks sold off hard. Is the panic justified? TurboQuant only compresses the KV cache — the temporary memory buffer that stores key-value vectors during inference, growing linearly wi

Elon Musk’s "Mars Dream" is finally hitting the public market! The hottest topic in the US stock market right now is SpaceX’s confidential IPO filing. This isn't just a listing; it’s a "cosmic-level" event set to reshape the landscape of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. 1. Valuation Details: The Largest IPO in History? According to the latest reports, SpaceX plans to file its IPO prospectus as early as this week, aiming for a formal listing in June. Valuation Target: Between $1.25 trillion and $1.75 trillion. Fundraising: Expected to exceed $75 billion, significantly higher than previous estimates of $50 billion. Market Standing: At a $1.75 trillion valuation, SpaceX would leapfrog $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and

With Trump restarting “TACO”, coupled with rampant rumors that he might visit China in April, global financial markets have once again entered the absolute-dominance zone of the “US stock first principles: just follow Trump’s calls.” $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 1. Macro strategists’ “Ragnarok”: Trump becomes the only right one Remember those highly praised strategists at Deutsche Bank, Citi, Goldman, and Morgan Stanley? Now in the face of absolute power, technical analysis turns into mysticism. 100% bottom-fishing success rate: Trump tells you to buy, ignore the earnings report. 100% crude oil short success rate: Trump says oil is too high — even if the Middle East is on fire, the sh

In a single day, $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ surrendered the $4,500, $4,400, $4,300, $4,200, and $4,100 levels in rapid succession. After hitting a record high of $5,589 this January, gold prices plummeted to approximately $4,100 in less than two months—a 26.6% peak-to-trough retracement. This marks the most catastrophic monthly decline in 43 years. However, prices managed to claw back to $4,400 during pre-market trading. As the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its third week, the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has sent oil prices soaring over 40%. With inflation fears reignited, the Fed has narrowed its 2026 rate-cut expectations to just one. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has breached the 100 mark, exerting massive pressure on precious and base metals

Yesterday, the market endured a violent V-shaped reversal. Oil prices $WTI Crude Oil - main 2605(CLmain)$ surged at the open, dragging $S&P 500(.SPX)$ down as much as 1%. The tide turned after Trump stated the war would "end very soon," coupled with reports that Israel, at Trump’s request, would suspend further strikes on Iranian gas fields. As oil retreated, equities clawed back most losses, with the S&P 500 ultimately closing down a modest 0.27%. Retail Sentiment is Turning Cold The mood among U.S. retail investors is cooling significantly, with the Fear & Greed Index slipping back into "Extreme Fear." According to the latest weekly survey from the American Association of Individual Inve

At the beginning of this week, the precious metals market felt like a falling knife. $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ plummeted 8% in two days, touching a six-week low of $4600, while $ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$ staged a gut-wrenching crash.Geopolitical tensions are back with a vengeance. Just as the market was pricing in a "US-Iran rapprochement," the script flipped. Reports of assassination threats against leadership have shattered the fragile trust, and the Habshan gas facility strike in Abu Dhabi has set the energy complex on edge.Despite the chaos, gold is down and oil is sideways. Why isn't the market buying the "safe haven" narrative yet?1. The Liquidity Paradox: Why Gold Fell in a CrisisTypically,

At the recently concluded GTC 2026, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ unveiled nearly its entire arsenal: the Vera Rubin architecture pushing the limits of compute, the acquisition of Groq bringing LPUs to strengthen inference capabilities, and the OpenClaw agent strategy. Jensen Huang has effectively completed a transformation—from “selling chips” to becoming a full-stack AI service provider. Jensen Huang’s $1 trillion outlook briefly pushed NVIDIA’s stock up more than 4.3%. Yet strangely, the stock has been trading sideways between $170 and $200 for quite some time. Why is Jensen pushing so hard while the market remains so calm? 1. Surrounded by Rivals: Is NVIDIA Starting to Feel the Pressure on Its Monopoly? To defend its 76% market share, NVIDIA has recently sho

On Wednesday (March 18, after the U.S. market close), $Micron Technology(MU)$ will release its FY2026 Q2 earnings. After nearly two years of cyclical dormancy, the memory industry may be approaching an unprecedented inflection point.Recently, shares of the three major players $CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07747)$ , Micron, and $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ —have surged sharply. The market narrative around memory is shifting from a simple “cyclical commodity” to “core infrastructure for AI.”Wall Street’s main debate (including Citi) centers on one question: Are we entering a long-term DRAM cycle similar to the 1990s P

Next week, NVIDIA GTC 2026 opens its doors. Jensen Huang will take the stage again. Over the past few years, each GTC has served as a major market catalyst. What will he bring this time? Before the real answers are revealed, let's dive deep into Jensen's most important mental framework — the Five-Layer Cake Theory — and how it can guide us toward investment opportunities in this AI wave. I. The Five-Layer Cake: From Energy to Applications Jensen breaks down the AI industrial architecture into five layers, from bottom to top — like a five-layer cake: Layer 1 · Energy The foundation of everything. Data center electricity consumption is exploding — nuclear, natural gas, and renewables all benefit. Without stable, affordable, large-scale energy supply, everything else is just talk.
