S&P At Key Level: Is March the Toughest Month to Trade?
After a brief two-day rebound, the market pulled back again yesterday, largely driven by the impact of Trump's tariffs. This volatility has caused many investors to reassess their strategies, especially as we move further into March, a month that often presents challenges for traders. The combination of uncertainty, geopolitical factors, and seasonal trends makes March a tricky time for many investors. From a personal perspective, I've been reflecting on my portfolio and wondering if it might perform better if I shifted a larger portion of my funds into US money market funds rather than stocks and ETFs. The unpredictable nature of the current market, coupled with high interest rates, makes money market funds an appealing option for stability and liquidity. These funds provide a relatively
My US portfolio is definitely down but my HK portfolio and SREITs have generally gone up. I would say I’ve lost money because I’ve not bought much US stocks compared to my HK stocks and I do have time to wait out for the next rally. Moving forward, I won’t buy heavily into US stocks. I will be waiting for a good opportunity to take profit. I think the current US stocks is only safe for swing trading and to trade on news. I will also adopt the same strategy for my HK stocks given the rally so far even though valuation is still cheap. This is because stock can always drop especially with fears of trade wars, HK stocks have shown to be volatile and quick for a sharp drop with news that investors don’t like, and many might be taking profit already. Although I count myself as an investor, the v

Will 02 April Tariffs Directly Affect Many Consumer Goods Like In 2019?
The first Trump administration’s latest round of tariffs on Chinese imports took effect early Sunday on 01 Sep 2019, potentially raising prices Americans pay for some clothes, shoes, sporting goods and other consumer goods. There is a 15% taxes apply to about $112 billion of Chinese imports. More than two-thirds of the consumer goods the United States imports from China now face higher taxes. 01 Sep Tariffs Directly Affect Many Consumer Goods For The First Time Trump’s 01 September 2019 duties hit $112 billion of imports that had not previously been directly targeted.

Semiconductors plummet! Is the time to buy the bottom of SOXL coming?
Overnight, a report revealing dramatic changes in the computing power market triggered a plunge in U.S. AI concept stocks. On March 26, TD Cowen, a subsidiary of TD Securities, released a report stating that Microsoft has recently canceled and postponed data center leases on a large scale in the United States and Europe, giving up more than 2GW of capacity due to the oversupply of computer clusters. Affected by this, U.S. chip stocks have fallen one after another-the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell about 3.3%, Nvidia closed down more than 5.7%, and even ultramicro computers fell nearly 8.9% overnight. While market sentiment was sluggish, Google and Meta quickly filled the vacancy left by Microsoft's lease withdrawal, showing that the total demand for data centers is still growing. Ho
Will OPEC+ Supply Disruptions Trigger a Crude Oil Rebound?
Since mid-March, international crude oil prices have experienced a rebound. NYMEX WTI crude oil futures rose from $65.6 per barrel on March 10 to $69.37 per barrel by March 25, an increase of about 5.7%. Similarly, ICE Brent crude oil futures rose from $68.65 per barrel to $72.54 per barrel during the same period.This price rally is driven by supply-side disruptions, including geopolitical crises and U.S. sanctions, which have led to downward revisions in crude oil production forecasts for 2025. OPEC+'s implementation of compensatory production cuts has eased concerns about oversupply. However, factors such as China’s shift to new energy vehicles and reduced oil demand in the U.S. due to tariffs and fiscal tightening make it unlikely that crude oil will break away from its oversupply trend
