DBS Sees USA Economic Collapse Driving SGD–USD Parity by 2040 What It Means for Gold, REITs, and Long-Term Investors
$DBS(D05.SI)$ In one of the boldest macroeconomic projections to come out of Southeast Asia in years, DBS Group Research has released a long-term report that envisions a radically stronger Singapore — one where GDP doubles by 2040, the Straits Times Index (STI) soars to 10,000 points, and the Singapore dollar (SGD) achieves parity with the US dollar (USD). That last prediction, in particular, has grabbed global headlines. For decades, the USD has reigned as the undisputed reserve currency of the world, while the SGD — though respected for its stability — has remained in a completely different tier of global influence. But DBS is arguing that by 2040, Singapore’s rise and America’s gradual fiscal decline could bring the two currencies to equal st

You’ve asked two key questions: (1) “Which tech giants might hit all-time highs next week?” and (2) “Which of them may show meaningful progress in AI?” I’ll address each with as much professional detail as possible, emphasising what the market seems to expect and what to watch out for. --- 1. Potential to hit all-time highs next week Given the upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) — and based on commentary such as from Jim Cramer that all three could deliver “great results” (with Microsoft as potentially the strongest) — here’s a breakdown. Alphabet (GOOGL). • Alphabet is already hitting new highs this week. With momentum and positive sentiment, it’s a strong contender. • If its quarter delivers strong growth in its core

You’ve raised some very pertinent questions about NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”) and its upcoming NVIDIA GTC 2025 (GTC) keynote by Jensen Huang. Below is a structured analysis of the probability that NVIDIA will announce new partnerships and whether the event might propel the stock to new highs — or conversely lead to a “sell the news” reaction. --- 1. Will NVIDIA announce new partnerships at GTC? Evidence in favour Historically, GTC keynotes by Jensen Huang have included both major product announcements (e.g., new GPU architectures, AI model platforms) and high-profile partner collaborations. For example, at a previous GTC Huang announced a dedicated quantum research lab in Boston in partnership with academia/industry. Analysts expect that NVIDIA will emphasise its AI ecosystem, infr

This week, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) looks most promising. The stock surged recently on optimism over AI and data-centre growth. AMD’s latest quarters showed strong revenue momentum and expanding margins, with forecasts projecting double-digit growth ahead. Its MI300 AI chips are gaining traction among cloud providers, positioning AMD as a credible challenger to Nvidia. Short-term catalysts include possible enterprise AI partnerships and further demand updates from hyperscalers. However, valuations are rich, so any mild disappointment could trigger profit-taking. Overall, AMD combines solid fundamentals, accelerating AI exposure, and positive sentiment—making it the U.S. stock I’m most optimistic about this week.
TOPToday amd is a low trend in open low. Personally, I think amd has reached a pressure level and may stay around 260 for a few days

Selling a zero day cash secured put to get $400 profit from pltr
💎 Cash Efficiency and Margin Safety Many traders underestimate the elegance of a cash-secured put. I didn’t use leverage; I used discipline. The $18,500 was fully set aside as collateral, ensuring I could absorb assignment without strain. Even when PLTR briefly wavered, my risk was entirely controlled. My approach always keeps margin usage below 50% — that’s the safety net that allows me to trade boldly but sleep peacefully. In essence, my cash worked double duty: earning premiums before purchase and securing ownership at a discount afterward. Few instruments in the financial world offer that kind of dual benefit. ⸻ 📊 The Emotional Edge — Trading Like a Professional Emotionally, this trade was calm and controlled. There was no panic, no rush. I knew exactly what would happen if PLTR closed

As an enthusiast watching the NVIDIA GTC Week unfold from October 27-29, I'm genuinely excited about Jensen Huang's keynote speech. With the event spotlighting cutting-edge fields like AI inference, quantum computing, and robotics, I believe NVIDIA is poised to make a significant impact. Huang's track record of introducing visionary concepts like "AI factories" and "intelligent agents" has consistently shaped the industry, and I'm confident this year will be no different. The buzz around his long-term vision for the AI ecosystem has me optimistic about what's to come. I'm particularly bullish on the possibility of NVIDIA $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$

Gold Crossroads: JPM vs. Citi — Can the Bull Run Last to Year End?
The market is reeling. After a spectacular run that saw 1$Gold(XAU/USD)$ soar over 100% in two years, the metal just suffered its sharpest one-day crash in over a decade, plunging more than 6%.2 This brutal pullback has split the market in two. Is this, as JPMorgan claims, just a "healthy consolidation" before the next mega-rally? Or is this the end of the run, as other banks warn the rally rose too far, too fast? The divide is best seen in the new, high-stakes battle between two of Wall Street's biggest titans. JPMorgan just dropped an explosive $5,055 per ounce price target.3 In the other corner, Citigroup just downgraded the metal, warning the rally has outrun its fundamentals. This post will break down both arguments to answer the three questions every investor is asking: Can gold rea

SREIT Earnings: Steady DPU! Do You Prefer “Stable Yield” or “Explosive Growth”?
The $FTSE250 ETF(MIDD.UK)$ ST REIT Index(ES3.SG)$ has been on a quiet tear, with many SREITs surging to 52-week highs.
