📊 Quick Recap — What Moved & Why

🇺🇸 US — Anthropic Shows Its Books

🔑 Key Event: Anthropic's prospectus shows 2025 revenue of $4.6 billion, up 12-fold, against a $42 billion net loss. It plans $518 billion in compute commitments and could list at over $2 trillion after the midterms. The filing also warns its own models could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity."

@EdmundK : This tells you AI is still spending while money gets more expensive. When rates peak, this AI infra bid will explode higher.

👀 Other to Watch

• $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) → +1.7% on a record $150B buyback boost, and said Anthropic has contracted over $180B of its infrastructure.
• $AMD(AMD.US) → -3.6% after agreeing to buy Fei-Fei Li's World Labs for $8.2B in stock.
• $Arm(ARM.US) -8.7%, $Qualcomm(QCOM.US) -7.2%, $Intel(INTC.US) -5.7% as last week's Muse-driven CPU rally unwound.
• $Meta Platforms(META.US) → -4.8% after poaching MongoDB's CEO for its enterprise AI push; $MongoDB(MDB.US) -18%.
• $SpaceX(SPCX.US) → -2.2% even as Starship reached orbit for the first time.

🇸🇬 Singapore — STI Pauses Near Its Highs

🔑 Key Event: $FTSE Straits Times Index(STI.SG) added +0.31% Monday to 5,739, then slipped about -0.27% this morning to 5,713.

@LazyCat: Because SG interest rates track US benchmarks, higher yields keep SORA elevated. This expands net interest margins for local banks, while raising refinancing hurdles across REITs.

👀 Other to Watch

• $DBS(D05.SG), $OCBC Bank(O39.SG) and $UOB(U11.SG) held flat this morning after Monday's gains.
• Singapore launched the SG Semiconductor brand as TSMC-backed VIS opened its first local 12-inch fab.

🇭🇰 HK/China — Optical Stocks Hit by US Bill

🔑 Key Event: $ZJ INNOLIGHT(03308.HK) crashed -12% Monday after US senators proposed banning Chinese optical modules from government systems, then bounced +2.14% today.

@TheInvestingIguana: Export controls have been the sticking point through every round of talks this year, and the base case is that nothing changes on that front. Names that aren't on any control list still live in the supply chain underneath one.

👀 Other to Watch

• $AKESO(09926.HK) → +12% after AstraZeneca took a $2B stake in its partner Summit Therapeutics.
• $SHEIN-W(00625.HK) → -7.7% on its first results since listing, as quarterly profit fell 67%.

🌍 Global/Macro

• 🌍 Gold fell -4% and silver -5.7% Monday as yields climbed.
• 🌍 US-Iran ceasefire talks stayed deadlocked after Trump rejected Tehran's Hormuz offer; oil edged higher again Tuesday, though Saudi Arabia's restored East-West pipeline capped the gains.
