Weekly update. Hello copiers and followers, With the trading week behind us, it is time to map out the script for the days ahead. I am currently rotating capital and waiting patiently as the $NSDQ100 cools down. While this cooling is a welcome sight for our rotation strategy, the month of June has not been friendly to the portfolio. We are heading into a critical window. Between now and late July, major earnings and macro data will drop. There is a very real probability that the broader market will slide into a deeper correction, especially with the US CPI inflation data dropping on July 14, immediately followed by the $ASML (ASML Holding NV) earnings on July 15. Until those critical numbers are on the table, I will be staying away from the buttons that is unless, of course, specific target weightings are hit earlier than expected. Should the market unexpectedly push higher instead, our existing positions are strong enough to fully capture that upside as well. Here is what is on the radar for the coming week: ​+ Quarter End Rebalancing (Monday/Tuesday): As we hit the final days of June, institutional funds are locking in profits and shifting capital. This rebalancing is driving the current pressure on tech and could cause a noisy start to the week. ​+ Nike Earnings: Reporting on Tuesday after the bell. This will serve as a major health check on global consumer strength and set the tone for the upcoming retail earnings season. ​+ US Jobs Report: Due to the Independence Day holiday shortening the week (US markets are closed on Friday), the critical US Employment data drops on Thursday. This report will heavily dictate macro sentiment and the Fed's next moves. The plan remains unchanged: patience over action. We let the market breathe, stay disciplined, and wait for the right levels to trigger. POLL: With the Nasdaq cooling down and big macro data dropping ahead of a long US weekend, what is your stance for the coming week? $SPX500 $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR)
