  1. SK Hynix land in New York

    SK Hynix land in New York

    Oil prices surrendered this week's geopolitical gains as easing supply concerns and renewed US-Iran talks helped calm the energy markets despite continued disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Falling oil prices pushed global bond yields lower and lifted investor sentiment, setting the stage for a record US debut by SK Hynix. Meanwhile, Chinese technology stocks continue to attract investors thanks to compelling valuations, growing AI ambitions and expectations of stronger government support. Looking ahead, attention shifts to the start of the US earnings season, where headline earnings growth is expected to be driven overwhelmingly by the energy and technology sectors. But uncomfortable questions swirl in investors’ minds! Listen to find out more!

    Oil back in the driver’s seat

    The US resumed strikes on Iran, sanctions tightened again, Tehran threatened retaliation, and crude prices jumped back toward key technical levels. The rebound is reviving inflation fears, pushing bond yields higher and challenging the recent rotation away from energy. Energy is benefiting from geopolitical tensions and renewed supply uncertainty, while Chinese technology stocks are attracting attention thanks to massive government support for AI infrastructure and valuations that remain a fraction of those seen in the US.

    Middle East tensions flare up, again

    Technology stocks remain under pressure despite Samsung's blockbuster earnings, with the semiconductor selloff dragging the Nasdaq 100 below its 50-day moving average for the first time since April. Meanwhile, SpaceX's first day in the Nasdaq 100 was marked by a sharp decline, even as Wall Street unveiled remarkably bullish price targets ranging from $200 to $300 per share—and one bank's valuation range stretching from $75 to $600. At the same time, renewed tensions in the Middle East are pushing oil prices and bond yields higher, threatening to reverse the recent easing in inflation expectations. Could geopolitics derail the rotation out of technology and revive concerns over higher interest rates? Listen to find out more!

    Samsung down despite strong beat

    Samsung's blockbuster earnings should have reassured investors. Instead, they triggered a 9% selloff that dragged the Kospi sharply lower and reignited concerns that expectations across the AI semiconductor space have become impossible to satisfy. A 19-fold jump in quarterly profit and an earnings beat were simply not enough once the market's whisper numbers had moved even higher. At the same time, oil markets are facing two opposing forces. Fresh attacks in the Strait of Hormuz are reviving geopolitical risk, while Saudi Arabia's deep price cuts for Asian buyers and abundant crude supply continue to weigh on prices. Which story wins will determine whether oil can sustainably recover or whether rallies continue to attract sellers. The session also brings a stronger US dollar, softer gold, renewed pressure on technology shares and growing attention to Japan, where rising yields and extreme speculative yen positioning keep the risk of another carry trade unwind firmly on investors' radar.

    SpaceX to enter Nasdaq 100

    European stocks are trading near fresh record highs, oil prices remain under pressure and AI enthusiasm continues to overshadow almost everything else. Yet beneath the surface, cracks are beginning to appear. Memory chip prices are squeezing hardware makers, Foxconn's blockbuster sales failed to excite investors, and SpaceX is about to join the Nasdaq 100 despite a valuation and governance structure that continue to divide Wall Street. At the same time, the Federal Reserve remains hawkish, the US dollar is strengthening, and Japan's bond yields are quietly climbing to levels that were once considered capable of triggering a reverse carry trade. Nobody seems worried anymore—but history suggests that the biggest surprises often emerge from the risks markets have stopped paying attention to. Listen to find out more!

    Weak US jobs boost investor optimism

    Artificial intelligence has become the biggest engine of the market rally—but are the first cracks finally starting to appear: Meta's decision to commercialise its AI infrastructure and Oracle's warning that some customers may struggle to pay for the enormous computing capacity they have ordered have raised uncomfortable questions about whether the AI spending boom has gone too far. Chipmakers led a sharp selloff as investors began to wonder whether Big Tech could eventually slow its spending. Meanwhile, softer euro area inflation, lower oil prices and fresh comments from central bankers in Sintra provided a more reassuring macro backdrop. All eyes now turn to the US jobs report, which could determine whether rising wage pressures reignite hawkish Fed expectations just as confidence in the AI trade begins to wobble.
