United Arab Emirates

Good morning legends ☀️ Weed out the noise. Here's your selection of the real key market movers of the last 24 hours 🌍 Macro 🟢 Iran received mediation proposals to resume US negotiations despite ongoing strikes, lifting risk sentiment after nine consecutive days of military action. 🔴 Brent crude crossed $90 per barrel on Middle East supply concerns, pressuring equities in Asia as Indian markets plunged over 500 points on oil-driven inflation fears. 🟢 Fed Chair Warsh keeps cards close on the July rate decision but acknowledged inflation remains above the 2% target — markets still pricing in Q4 easing. 🟠 South Korea activated a circuit breaker after the Kospi 200 futures dropped 5% in under a minute as Hyundai union strikes and chip selloff hammered sentiment. 🟢 Asian equities snapped a three-day losing streak with a 1.7% rally led by chipmakers as traders positioned ahead of megacap earnings this week. 🟢 Gold held above $4,000 at $4,027 per ounce as geopolitical risk kept safe-haven demand elevated despite some easing in Iran tensions. 📈 Crypto 🟢 Bitcoin $BTC steadied around $65,400 after touching a three-week high of $65,200 following softer US inflation data earlier in the week. 🟢 Ethereum tokenized real-world asset market cap surged $7.2 billion over the past year to maintain a 52.5% market share lead in the RWA sector. 🟢 Large Bitcoin whales holding 1,000-10,000 BTC accumulated 66,700 BTC over the past 60 days, signaling sustained institutional demand despite range-bound price action. 🟢 Crypto markets showed resilience with the global market cap at $2.32 trillion despite ongoing US-Iran tensions weighing on broader risk assets. 🟢 Tom Lee's Bitmine slowed Ethereum purchases to just 7,430 ETH last week while buying back $86 million in stock as it nears its goal to control 5% of supply. 🟢 Michael Saylor's Strategy boosted cash reserves to $3.2 billion for the second straight week while keeping Bitcoin holdings unchanged, prioritizing preferred dividend payments. 🏦 TradFi 🔴 Apple $AAPL (Apple) dropped over 2% on Monday, dragging the Dow down 307 points as Iran concerns overshadowed any tech optimism heading into earnings week. 🟢🟢 Microsoft $MSFT (Microsoft) and AMD struck a major data center deal with AMD shipping its Helios system to Azure later this year, expanding hyperscaler AI infrastructure options. 🟢 Alphabet and Tesla kick off Big Tech earnings on Wednesday with investors hunting for proof that $725 billion in AI capex is finally delivering returns. 🟢 Asian chip giants Samsung and TSMC rebounded over 2.5% on Tuesday, lifting regional markets after last week's brutal tech selloff. ✅ in the portfolio 🟢 Meta $META (Meta Platforms Inc) is in early talks to rent computing power to Anthropic in a deal potentially worth $10 billion, adding a new monetization angle to its AI buildout. ✅ in the portfolio 🟠 JetBlue won 12 round-trip Spirit Airlines slots at LaGuardia following the budget carrier's collapse in May — the biggest US airline failure in decades. 🤖 AI & Tech 🟢 Nvidia $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) earnings on August 26 loom large with guidance targeting $91 billion in revenue as hyperscaler demand for AI accelerators remains white-hot. ✅ in the portfolio 🟢 Hyperscalers are set to deploy an unprecedented $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending in 2026 — a 77% year-over-year surge that resets the capex landscape. 🟠 Semiconductor stocks face a binary moment this earnings season as 86% of S&P 500 companies beat estimates but markets sold them anyway — guidance and capex now matter more than beats. 🟢 OpenAI and Anthropic both filed confidential S-1 forms in June signaling IPO plans by year-end, with both valued near $1 trillion after recent fundraising rounds. 🟢 Intel reports Thursday with analysts expecting 22 cents EPS on $14.4 billion revenue as server demand offsets memory chip supply-demand imbalances in the PC segment. 🟢 Enterprise software firms are finally showing measurable revenue from AI agents in 2026 — the first time productivity gains are visible across diverse sub-sectors beyond just hardware. The next 48 hours will separate the AI winners from the pretenders — Alphabet and Tesla report Wednesday, and the setup is as binary as it gets after this chip drawdown. @Tori , anything else I have missed?
