The indices: all three fell back from record closes, and the Dow lost 0.66 per cent The three indices moved back from the previous day's record closes on Wednesday: the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ Average fell 0.66 per cent to 51,179.90, the largest decline; the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.22 per cent to 7,801.77; and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite fell 0.22 per cent to 27,538.69. The pressure came from the bond market: the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.36 per cent at its intraday peak and closed at 5.28 per cent, while the 30-year touched 5.73 per cent and closed at 5.66 per cent. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's Septemb

The biggest mistake investors can make in the 2026 midterms is betting on red or blue instead of betting on policy. History is encouraging: the S&P 500 has averaged roughly 6.6% in Q4 of midterm years, and has posted positive returns in the 12 months after every midterm since 1950. But 2026 is different. With the 10-year Treasury near 5.3%, elevated valuations and massive AI capex, rates and earnings may matter more than election headlines. My focus would be on AI infrastructure, power and defense. A divided Congress could actually be constructive by limiting major policy shocks, while a Republican sweep could favor deregulation, energy and AI infrastructure. The real trade isn't Republicans vs Democrats. It's policy uncertainty vs. policy clarity. For me: A — AI & Technology, but

A. AI & Technology 🤖 I’ll be watching AI policy most closely, especially any changes around chip export controls, data-centre power infrastructure, AI regulation and government incentives for domestic semiconductor production. These could have significant implications for the entire AI supply chain, from Nvidia and AMD to hyperscalers, utilities and data-centre operators. Around the midterms, even shifts in expectations for future policy could move valuations before any legislation actually changes.

Energy & Power I'm watching power-project permitting, grid expansion, and who pays for Al data centres' electricity infrastructure. Grid reliability and protecting households from higher electricity costs are already congressional policy concerns. Data Centers and th... My investment thesis: watch the infrastructure powering Al, not just the chips. Faster approvals could be a catalyst, but election headlines alone aren't a buy signal.

Wow, did not realize it almost 8000

The S&P 500 has done it again. A new record above 7,800. The Nasdaq is also at record levels, with investors continuing to price in strong AI-led earnings growth. Analysts are expecting around 30% year-over-year S&P 500 profit growth for Q3.  But I think the market has reached the point where price momentum alone isn’t enough. Now the numbers have to catch up. That’s what makes this earnings season particularly important. Investors aren’t just looking for companies to beat expectations. They want to know: • Are AI orders translating into revenue? • Are margins holding up? • Are companies increasing their guidance? • Is demand broadening beyond a handful of mega-caps? Because at record highs, “good” earnings may no longer be good enough. A company can beat estimates and still fall

The S&P 500 has crossed another psychological milestone — closing above 7,800 for the first time at 7,818.93. The Nasdaq also hit a record, while the Dow continues to lag.  But at these levels, the question is changing. It’s no longer just “Can the market go higher?” It’s “Can earnings justify where the market is already trading?” Q3 earnings season starts next week, and expectations are high. Analysts are looking for roughly 30% year-over-year S&P 500 earnings growth, with technology expected to be one of the biggest contributors.  That creates a fascinating setup. If companies deliver strong revenue, margins and guidance, the record highs could look increasingly justified. But if earnings merely meet expectations without raising the outlook, investors may start asking whether t

C. Banks & Crypto. I’m watching how the midterm outcome could shape crypto regulation, stablecoin rules and the regulatory environment for banks. Greater regulatory clarity could significantly affect institutional adoption of digital assets and the broader financial sector.

🐯💰 Tiger Coins Challenge Which sector will you be watching most closely around the midterms? A. 🤖 AI & Technology - A lot of momentum and strong growth with huge margin

Midterm is just an excuse for investors to take profit in view that the market is at its high. Ultimately, earnings and future forecasts will shape market sentiments.

For me, the 2026 midterms are worth watching, but I would not invest based purely on which party wins. What matters more is how policies around AI, semiconductors, tariffs, energy, healthcare, financial regulation and crypto could change. AI and semiconductor stocks are especially interesting as technology, trade and data-center infrastructure become increasingly connected. I would not assume the election alone will determine market direction. With valuations elevated and Treasury yields high, I will pay closer attention to earnings, inflation and interest rates. Political headlines may create short-term volatility, but strong fundamentals should matter more over the longer term. Personally, I will focus on companies I understand rather than predict every election headline. I would rather

Hey Tigers 🐯 — the U.S. midterm elections are approaching, and this time investors may want to pay closer attention. On November 3, 2026, Americans will vote for all 435 House seats and roughly one-third of the Senate. The results will determine control of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s current term. For Wall Street, the important question isn't simply which party wins. It is: What changes in Washington — and which stocks could benefit or face new risks? 🏛️ Why Does the Midterm Election Matter to Markets? Congress influences taxes, government spending, energy, healthcare, financial regulation, trade and technology policy. A change in congressional control could therefore change expectations for corporate costs, revenues and ultimately profits. The easiest way

I’m not chasing the S&P 500 above 7,800. 📈 Record highs alone are not a reason to sell, but valuations and market concentration make Q3 earnings especially important. I want to see whether earnings growth and guidance can justify the latest repricing, particularly across AI, memory, optical communications and power infrastructure. The easing 10-year Treasury yield is supportive, but if yields reverse higher or mega-cap guidance disappoints, the market could quickly test how much optimism is already priced in. My approach: keep DCA-ing into broad-market ETFs rather than trying to time the top, while keeping some cash ready for a meaningful pullback. I would rather add more aggressively after a correction than chase a euphoric rally. So I’m still participating, just not accelerating. Ear

The indices: the Nasdaq set a record close, the Dow did not follow The three indices pulled apart on Monday: the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite rose 1.05 per cent to 27,477.31, a record close for it, having reached 27,544.06 at its intraday peak; the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 0.66 per cent to 7,773.95, still shy of its own record close by less than 0.6 per cent; and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ Industrial Average added just 0.18 per cent to 51,267.90.

Something unusual is happening on Wall Street. The Nasdaq just closed at a fresh record high, gaining 1.05% to 27,477.31. The S&P 500 added 0.66%, finishing at 7,773.95 and sitting close to its own record. QQQ also gained 0.88%. On the surface, everything looks bullish. But there is another number investors should be watching: The US 10-year Treasury yield just moved above 5.3%. It reached around 5.32%, its highest level since 2002.  Normally, higher long-term yields create a problem for growth stocks. Why? Because when Treasury yields rise, investors can earn more from relatively low-risk government bonds. At the same time, higher borrowing costs can pressure companies and make future earnings less valuable when discounted back to today. That should be particularly relevant for expen

https://youtu.be/APDStO6KhKc US bond yields have surged above 5%, with the 10-year Treasury around 5.28% and real yields close to 3%. So what does this actually mean for stock investors? In this video, we break down why bond yields are rising, why real yields matter, and how higher interest rates can affect stock valuations, technology shares, small caps, corporate credit and the wider market. We also look at the key question facing investors today: Can strong corporate earnings continue to offset the pressure from higher bond yields? For Singapore investors, we also examine the impact on Singapore Government Securities, S-REITs, DBS, OCBC and UOB — and explain why US and Singapore bond yields are behaving very differently.
