      AI Money Is Rotating — Not Leaving: Optical, Cloud, Storage or Software

      The current US stock market resembles a multi-faceted seesaw of optical, cloud, software, and hardware. Money hasn't truly left AI, but it's been constantly shifting between these sectors. The most typical example is the past two days. On the 12th, after Lumentum's earnings report, optical communications once again became the market focus. $Lumentum(LITE)$ 's latest quarterly revenue was $1.01 billion, a year-over-year increase of 109%. The midpoint of its next quarterly revenue guidance is around $1.25 billion, and management continues to emphasize the demand for high-speed optical connections in AI data centers. On the same day, CRWV and NBIS also performed strongly. $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ 's second-qu

      My first resistance level for $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ is still $1580-$1600

      Regarding $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ 's recent surge, I'm leaning towards a more optimistic outlook. However, this optimism led to a sharp rise, making it a bit high in the short term. Therefore, I opened a short position in $SNDK. For highly volatile stocks like SanDisk, I now prioritize two things when choosing trading tools: whether I can act immediately upon news releases, and whether I can open a position when I actually need to. I've found MEXC quite convenient. SNDKUSDT allows 24/7 trading, and the position sizes at medium to high leverage levels are quite generous. For US stocks, which often experience sudden news releases and volatility before and after the market opens, I think this is more practical than simply increasing leverage. First, le

      Oracle +5%, Bets on Quantum: Cloud Infrastructure's Most Undervalued Dark Horse?

      Oracle (ORCL): AI Infrastructure Landscape, Competition, Capital Deployment, Valuation & Partnership Ecosystem Conclusion Bias: $Oracle(ORCL)$ 's valuation does not fully reflect the explosive potential of its AI infrastructure business. A Forward P/E of 11.6x for a company with IaaS growth of 93% and RPO growth of 363% represents a clear "valuation mismatch." However, high leverage and negative free cash flow are real financial risks, making it suitable for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate volatility. If you believe AI compute demand will continue to explode and multi-cloud strategies will become the enterprise standard, Oracle (ORCL) is one of the most attractively positioned large-cap tech stocks on a risk-adjusted return basis.

      While Wall Street panicked over debt, Oracle quietly played 4D chess. Here is how they pulled off the ultimate masterclass in macro positioning: $Oracle(ORCL)$ 📉 debt structure at 4.4x leverage while hardware cost were favorable. Build a massive multi-billion-dollar war chest before anyone else saw what was coming. 💥 The Shock Then the AI tsunami hit. Within 12 months, the hardware supply chain completely broke: * Enterprise SSDs/NAND: Up 5x to 6x 📈 * High-Capacity HDDs: More than doubled 📈 * Server RAM & DRAM: Severe structural shortages compounding quarterly, doubling standard server build costs. Competitors scrambling for spot-market parts got completely squeezed

      Citigroup Research believes the upward trend in precious metals is not yet over, with silver continuing to follow gold's direction and exhibiting a more aggressive upward movement due to its higher volatility. If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz eventually de-escalates, coupled with a less hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, investment demand for precious metals will continue to recover. Citigroup believes that short-term pullbacks do not change silver's position as a high-beta asset compared to gold. If easing geopolitical risks drive funds back into precious metals, silver could potentially rise to $95/oz by 2027. However, Citigroup also maintains a risk scenario. The bank believes there is still approximately a 20% probability that silver will fall to $50/oz, indicating that c

      The content is for research reference only on macro markets, CTA and quantitative trading mechanisms, and does not constitute investment advice. At 20:30 Singapore time tonight, the US will release its July CPI data. According to Reuters surveys, the market expects headline CPI to rise 0.1% month‑over‑month and 3.4% year‑over‑year; core CPI is projected to increase 0.2% MoM and 2.5% YoY. June’s headline CPI stood at 3.5% YoY. Tonight’s print will directly reshape market pricing for US inflation dynamics and the Federal Reserve’s policy path for September. That said, I believe what truly matters tonight is not simply whether CPI lands at 3.3%, 3.4% or 3.5%. A bigger risk variable may lie within the US Treasury market. The widely‑discussed “$400‑billion US Treasury short position” is, strict

      📉 3D-NAND Gets a New Wall Street Warning: Could Micron Be Next?

      The memory trade has been one of the strongest semiconductor themes of 2026. AI data centres have driven extraordinary demand for memory and storage, while limited supply has pushed NAND and DRAM prices sharply higher. That combination helped send memory stocks to some of their strongest gains in years. This week, though, the trade showed a fresh sign of stress. $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ fell 6.8% on Thursday after investors reacted negatively to its outlook, while $Western Digital(WDC)$ dropped 13%. SK Hynix lost around 5%. $Micron Technology(MU)$ initially fell more than 7% before recovering most of the decline and closi

Following the report, $Applied Optoelectronics Inc.(AAOI)$ jumped around 20%, $Coherent(COHR)$ gained 18% and $Lumentum Holdings Inc.(LITE)$. The rally reflects more than renewed optimism about AI infrastructure: investors are now pricing in a possible redistribution of future U.S. optical orders. AI demand creates the opportunity.
