The US market could rebound tonight. ( A good bet 😆)
Semiconductor stocks have been down for over a week now. A bounce looks likely and I don't think the rally is over yet. More to come if upcoming earnings shift investor sentiment.
Stay vigilant and trade safely. Remember next week is Fed week. Market respect Fed and don’t over trade.
Chip stocks fell for an eighth straight day, the longest run on record, and the traders shorting them are up about $32B. At home, the banks have split. Let's dig in 👇💬 Eight days down and the Fed goes...
$SK Hynix(SKHY.US)
🚨 SK Hynix Plunges 19%. Buying Opportunity or Peak AI Memory Cycle?
Last week was a sharp sell-off and erased US$231 billion dollars of SK Hynix market capitalisation.
The stock dropped to US$136.49 dollars and its RSI fell to a deeply oversold reading of 27.60. Many investors are asking whether it is the perfect time to buy the dip?
Here is the summary of the caused of the decline and whether SK Hynix is worth buying now.
🔍 Four Reasons Behind the Sell-Off
• Chinese Competition: News that China’s CXMT has made progress with higher density server DRAM technology has raised concerns about future competition.
• Profit Taking: Investors took profits after the stock’s huge run up during the AI memory rally.
• Macro and Debt Concerns: Hotter than expected US inflation renewed interest rate worries. Investors are also thinking about the large amounts of debt needed to build out AI infrastructure.
• Broad Sector Weakness: Selling pressure hit the whole memory sector. Samsung and Micron also declined alongside SK Hynix.
💡 Should You Buy SK Hynix Now?
• Oversold Does Not Mean Cheap: An RSI of 27.60 shows strong selling pressure. However being technically oversold is not enough to confirm a bottom.
• AI Demand Is Still Strong: Industry forecasts indicate Q4 2026 DRAM contract prices could rise 10% to 15% from the previous quarter. AI servers continue to face supply shortages.
• The Bottom Line: It is wise to wait for prices to stabilize first. Keep an eye on upcoming earnings reports to confirm that pricing power is still strong before making your move.

$BTC/USD(BTCUSD.HAS)
🏆 [Weekly] Bitcoin Market Outlook: Macro vs. Technicals
Bitcoin is steady around $81,874 after pulling back from its recent high near $88,000. The RSI has cooled off and showing a neutral momentum.
Currently everyone is watching what the central banks will do next.
🚨 Macro Factors to Watch
• Inflation Remains High: CPI came in at 3.7% year-on-year and PPI at 6.3%. Both are keeping US Treasury yields elevated and markets cautious.
• FOMC Meeting Coming Up Oct 27–28: The Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates will set the direction for all risk assets including Bitcoin.
🎯 Key Price Levels
🔴 Major Resistance: $87,500 to $88,000
🟠 Key Pivot Zone: $83,500 to $84,500. Bitcoin needs to break above here to turn momentum bullish again
🔵 Nearby Support: $80,000 to $81,000
🟢 Stronger Macro Support: $75,500 to $76,000
🔮 Two Possible Paths Ahead
• 🦅 If the Fed Is Hawkish: Losing the $80,000 level could trigger more selling, pushing Bitcoin toward $75,500 to $76,000
• 🕊️ If the Fed Is Dovish: Breaking above $83,500 to $84,500 would open the way to retest the highs near $87,500 to $88,000

🔥 [Weekly] Is Gold’s Rally Over? The Inflation Surprise That Matters 🥇
Gold investors, take note. This week’s inflation numbers delivered a clear shock to the gold market.
Here is the main reasons: 👇
🚨 What has Happened?
Both September CPI and PPI came in much hotter than forecast. Headline inflation rose to 3.7% year-on-year while producer prices jumped 6.3% year-on-year (a big upside surprise).
🔷 Why This Moves Gold
Persistent inflation means the Federal Reserve may stay hawkish. It could even raise rates on 28 October again. When rate hike expectations climb, Treasury yields and the US dollar tend to rise.
Since gold pays no interest, a stronger dollar and higher yields create a strong headwinds for its prices.
🔷 Key Price Levels Right Now
Gold trades near $4,165 and testing important levels:
• Immediate Support: $4,050 – $4,100
A break below here opens a quick move toward the major $4,000 mark.
• Overhead Resistance: $4,200 – $4,250
A clear close above this zone would ease the selling pressure.

$MINIMAX-W(00100.HK)
🤖 Is the AI Rally Cooling? MiniMax Down 80% — Time to Buy?
MiniMax Group has plunged from roughly HK$900 down to just HK$182.1, an 80% drop 📉.
Is this a deep discount or is the market signalling real risks in AI stocks?
Here is the full picture:
🚀 The Positives
1️⃣ Revenue exploded and up 283.1% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, reaching US$116.6 million
2️⃣ Gross margin improved from 12.1% to 17.9%
3️⃣ Strong cash position. About US$1.32 billion in the bank gives the company plenty of runway
⚠️ The Concerns
1️⃣ Still deep in the red
The adjusted net loss hit US$293 million for the first half.
2️⃣ Heavy R&D spending continues
The company profitability remains uncertain.
3️⃣ Price keeps falling
Technically it is still in a clear downtrend. Oversold conditions do not automatically mean good value and a bounce is not guaranteed.
💡 The Big Question
Can MiniMax turn that fast revenue growth into consistent profits before investors lose confidence?🤔
A lower share price does not mean that it is being cheap. Investors are concerned with the current valuation, the cash burn, the margins and the path to sustainable earnings. All these matters more than just the price drop alone.
🤔 Would you catch the train to buy at HK$182.1, wait for the trend to turn or stay on the sidelines?
Let us discuss what you think below!

Good afternoon everyone ☺️
I expected PPI to jump following Thursday's CPI figures and it did. The real surprise was gold. It stayed calm and resilient, barely budging. Perhaps the earlier jitters were a false alarm. I am still not fully convinced.
Meanwhile, Hang Seng Tech performed well today. Alibaba up 3.95%, Tencent +1.24%. The HK market looks deeply undervalued to me. It is just a matter of time before funds rotate back here.
Have a good weekend ahead to everyone. Trade safely. Always have your own “Target profit”, stock loss and don’t be greedy ☺️.Cheers

🚀 Xiaomi (1810.HK): EV Momentum & Analyst Views
Recently, Xiaomi is drawing plenty of attention! Here is a quick look at what is driving the story and its share price 👇
🚗 Strong EV Momentum
The SkyNomad series secured more than 70,000 firm orders in its first month. Monthly deliveries are rising rapidly to meet strong demand, reflecting fast-growing consumer enthusiasm. This remains Xiaomi’s most exciting growth story right now.
📈 Analyst Ratings & Targets
The consensus is firmly BUY / OUTPERFORM, with an average 12-month target price ranging from HK$34.40 to HK$34.70 — that is over 30% upside from around HK$27 recently.

• Bernstein: BUY, HK$35.00 target
• Guosheng Securities: BUY, HK$51.00 target

💡 Staying Patient, Seeing Value- My CSE Global Entry
Made an important decision yesterday. Bought 1,200 shares of CSE Global at S$0.92. 😁
The RSI was deep in oversold territory and the price had halved from its highs. To me, this looked less like a failing company and more like a quality business trading at a value discount.
Price is what you pay; value is what you get. The market can be emotional in the short run but over time fundamentals tend to win out.
I don’t expect an instant rebound. Value investing means being patient and comfortable looking a little lonely at times. But I believe in buying when others are fearful, especially when the numbers back it up. 🚀
Let’s see how this unfolds.
Here’s to the quiet confidence of buying value when it goes on sale! 😁
$CSE Global(544.SG)
📉 CSE Global Down 50% — Time to Buy or Stay Away?
Here is our quick look at CSE Global
Price has fallen sharply from its 52-week high of S$1.89 to S$0.930. It is now trading well below its key moving averages. The RSI sits at just 17.35, signalling deeply oversold conditions.
Valuation-wise, the stock is at its lowest point in a year, in the 18.4th percentile and well below its 1-year average P/E of 20.57x.
Meanwhile, the business itself remains resilient. H1 revenue grew a strong 27.35% year-on-year to S$561.47 million, even though margins and profits faced pressure from higher financing costs.
Looking ahead, there are positive catalysts , including S$190.5 million in new US electrification contracts and an ongoing strategic review with Jefferies advising.
Is this steep drop a great buying opportunity or does the market have good reason to be cautious?

Currently holding 1,600 Xiaomi-W (01810) shares, average cost HKD 30.135 ☺️
Yes, I am down -11.26% on paper right now but conviction never shaken. 💪
The recent rally is already validating Xiaomi’s bold strategic shift into EVs. The Pengcheng lineup speaks for itself: 70,000+ orders locked in the first month alone, that’s outstanding early demand. 🚀
Furthermore, Xiaomi’s ambitious plan in Europe expansion coming next year. This is just the beginning of the growth story.
Xiaomi is not just a phone brand anymore, it is building a smart energy & mobility ecosystem that will run for decades.

📊 US CPI Tonight: Will Gold Shine or Face Pressure? 🥇
All eyes are on tonight’s US CPI release!
The latest inflation numbers will move gold prices, Fed rate expectations, and the US bond market.
Just remember, markets react not only to the figures themselves but also to how they stack up against forecasts.
🔴 Inflation hotter than expected
Gold may come under selling pressure as the US dollar and Treasury yields climb. Markets could price in higher-for-longer interest rates, pushing any rate cuts further out.
🟢 Inflation cooler than expected
Gold could find strong support. A weaker dollar and falling real yields tend to lift gold, while hopes for future rate cuts may rise.
🟡 Headline up, core inflation cools
This one could trigger mixed moves. Energy costs may lift headline CPI on the other hand a softer core numbers signal easing underlying inflation. Gold and bonds may swing both ways initially.
👀 What to watch closely
Focus on monthly core CPI, the US dollar, the 2-year Treasury yield and real yields.
These tell you if the reaction is likely to last.
⚠️ One key note: A single CPI report won’t decide the Fed’s next move. Jobs data, other inflation gauges, and broader economic conditions all matter too.
Will tonight’s numbers surprise us or you have something in mind.
Check out the full infographic for all three scenarios and what they mean for gold, rates, and bonds.
Not financial and investment advice. Do your own due diligence.
Tonight's CPI figures will likely set the tone for trading ahead. Expect volatility. I believe S-REITs are oversold. They do not deserve this pressure since these REITs are backed by real, income-producing assets. I hope inflation comes in as expected so the market can reassess their true value. Please 🙏🏻

🚀 Why Data Centre S-REITs Are Under Pressure - Even With Booming AI Demand
Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) and NTT DC REIT USD (NTDU) are trading near 52-week lows despite strong structural demand.
Here is what is happening 👇
📉 Macro & Interest Rate Headwinds
• Yield competition: Higher US Treasury yields mean risk-free bonds look more attractive, pulling capital away from dividend stocks.
• Refinancing costs: Older, cheaper debt is maturing and being replaced at today’s higher rates. This directly reduces distributable income.
🏢 What Affects Each One
• NTT DC REIT (NTDU): Still finding its footing post-IPO, plus US dollar currency swings on SGX.
• Keppel DC REIT (AJBU): Higher overall borrowing costs and market caution around specific asset allowances in Guangdong.
💡 The Key Insight
• Business remains strong: Occupancy stays above 98%, and AI plus cloud growth keeps pushing rental income higher.
• It’s pricing, not performance: The drop reflects higher capital costs across the sector, not weakening demand from tenants.
🤔 With prices at these levels, are you adding to your positions or waiting for more clarity?

🚀Stronger Singdollar: What It Means for Your S-REITs
MAS is widely tipped to tighten policy on 14 October by steepening the S$NEER policy band slope. What does a stronger Singapore dollar mean for our REIT portfolio?🤔
📉 REITs With Overseas Assets (Facing Headwinds)
• Lower Distributions: Rental income earned overseas converts into fewer Singapore dollars, pulling DPU down.
• Valuation Impact: Foreign assets revalue lower in SGD terms. This pushes net asset value down and gearing ratios higher on paper.
🛡️ Pure Singapore REITs (Naturally Protected)
• Cost Savings: A stronger SGD helps fight imported inflation. It keeps utility, cooling and maintenance expenses in check.
• No Currency Risk: With all assets based in Singapore there is zero translation loss. Plus SORA rates stay lower than US rates, a helpful bonus.
📌 In Short
Where a REIT owns its assets matters most during an MAS tightening cycle. Pure-play domestic REITs offer much stronger resilience against currency swings and operational cost pressure.

🚗📉 China’s EV Export Rebate Is Being Cut - What It Means
Oh No …. China will lower the VAT export rebate for new energy vehicles from 13% to 9%, starting 1 April 2027. 🥹
This change could squeeze profit margins for Chinese automakers selling overseas.
For companies like BYD, Geely and XPeng, the key question is straightforward. Who will pay this extra cost?😟
Automakers have three choices. They can absorb it and earn less per car. They can raise prices overseas and risk losing their competitive edge. Or they can cut costs through better supplier deals and greater efficiency.
The challenge is that Chinese EV makers already compete heavily on price. If they cannot pass this cost to buyers, their profit on each exported car will drop.
BYD is one to watch closely. One analyst estimate suggests the net profit impact could be roughly RMB 5,000 per exported vehicle. This is an estimate though, not official guidance. The real effect will depend on tax calculations, what models are shipped, and how much they can save elsewhere.
For investors, stronger overseas sales no longer guarantee stronger profits.
Will automakers absorb the cost, raise prices, or find ways to protect their margins? Check out the full infographic for the impact breakdown, different scenarios, and what key numbers to watch.

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT: I am Staying the Course
My current position is down -10.25% now, with my average price at S$2.429 and the market price at S$2.180 today 😔.
But you know what?
Prices go up and down. This is part and puzzle of trading. Quality assets stay. Today marks a fresh 52-week low, yet the fundamentals remain solid.
I am looking at a steady ~6.9% dividend yield backed by a diversified portfolio of quality properties and reliable tenants.
Short-term price swings test my patience. They don’t change the underlying value. I am not going to PAPER HAND.
I am staying invested and collecting those distributions while waiting for sentiment to turn. If prices keep dipping, I may even add more. 💪😆

🙄Is Alibaba a Buy or Avoid Right Now???
Alibaba is back in the spotlight. Citigroup, Bank of America and Jefferies have upgraded their price targets within just 48 hours. Furthermore, Jefferies also named Alibaba its top pick among Chinese internet stocks. But does that mean the stock is truly a bargain right now?🤔
The bullish argument centres on artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Alibaba’s cloud revenue jumped 45% year-on-year in the June 2026 quarter, while overall revenue rose 9% to RMB 268.95 billion. Its Qwen AI models and growing cloud business could drive fresh growth going forward.🥰
However, the picture is not complete without looking at the risks.
Despite rising revenue, net profit dropped 75% compared to a year ago in the same quarter. Alibaba is also investing a massive RMB 380 billion into AI infrastructure and development from 2026 through 2029.
These investments may strengthen its market position but returns are never guaranteed.
At around US$111.37, HKD 108.60, the share price sits well below analyst targets ranging from US$178 to US$193. That implies considerable upside potential if those forecasts hold up.
Do remember that price targets are estimates, not guarantees and the actual valuation will depend on whether earnings can actually grow as expected.
🔷 Key risks include fierce competition, rising AI-related expenses, lower profitability, regulatory changes and geopolitical uncertainty.
🔷 For investors, the real questions are whether cloud growth will translate into solid profits, whether free cash flow can improve despite heavy AI spending, and whether the core e-commerce business can stay competitive.
🔷The verdict
Alibaba may look attractively priced and offer real growth potential, but it is not a guaranteed bargain.

The Singapore government appears keen to support mid and small-cap stocks.
Over recent years I have noticed that MAS and MOF have rolled out several targeted measures. Their aim was to address the structural valuation discounts and poor liquidity on our local exchange. And they focus falls heavily on mid and small-cap counters. 🤔
Measures include capital injections under the Equity Market Development Programme or EQDP, plus grants for liquidity and research coverage.
Could now be the time to consider small to mid -cap stocks?
