[US stocks]
Nasdaq futures are down about 0.4%, and risk appetite remains under pressure.
Short-term interest rates are relatively tight and the US dollar is stronger, jointly weighing on high-valuation assets.
If technology stocks lack profit-earnings兑现 support, valuation compression pressure will remain.
[AI storage chain]
Tech giants continue to ramp up data center, compute infrastructure, and model-training capital expenditure.
Upstream equipment, servers, optical modules, cooling, and the storage supply chain remain key mid-term beneficiaries.
The market places more emphasis on order visibility, delivery cadence, and the sustainability of capital spending.
[Japan and South Korea stock markets]
Asian tech supply chains are broadly split, with capital more focused on profit-earning execution in semiconductors and the export chain.
Against the backdrop of tighter interest-rate expectations, the Japanese and Korean markets are more sensitive to the elasticity of technology-sector weighting.
【Precious Metals】
Spot gold once fell below 4100; silver’s pullback was more pronounced, and volatility remains high.
In the short term, precious metals are suppressed by the dollar and yields, but safe-haven demand has not fully faded.
It’s more suitable for staged, disciplined observation; don’t chase highs or sell in panic.
【Crude Oil】
WTI crude oil once rose to around 74 dollars; Brent followed higher in tandem.
The surge in crude oil leads to the repricing of oil shipping, chemicals, ports, and resource commodities.
What matters more right now is inventories, supply-demand dynamics, and how freight-rate transmission works—rather than single-day fluctuations themselves.
【Macro】
Market pricing for the short-end interest-rate path remains relatively tight, and the dollar stays strong.
Changes in macro expectations remain the core variable driving the pricing of crude oil, gold, and risk assets.
External uncertainty is heating up, and market volatility may continue to be amplified.
【Domestic Clues】
Nationwide railways sent 2.348 billion passengers in the first half of the year, a record high for the same period, indicating strong resilience in travel demand.
Palm oil inventories continue to accumulate; inventories of some metals are diverging; within the commodity chain, rebalancing is still underway.
The schedule for glass cold maintenance has accelerated; in some regions quotations have been raised, and supply tightening provides support for prices.
The financing balance of the two cities decreased by 11.339 billion yuan; risk appetite has not yet clearly recovered.
【Tech Industry】
With the opening of AI capabilities on the terminal side and the linkage with the software ecosystem, attention on consumer electronics supply-chain continues to rise.
Data centers, computing power infrastructure, and AI training capital expenditures remain at high levels, and upstream segments still have opportunities.
Independent and controllable semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and advanced packaging remain the key structural themes in the medium to long term.
【Today’s Main Theme】
Oil & crude chain: event-driven and short-term swing opportunities first. Focus on inventories, freight rates, and confirmation in monthly reports.
Precious metals: in a high-volatility environment, it’s better to observe in batches; wait for clarity in the dollar and yield directions.
Tech chain: look for certainty through order confirmation, stable pricing, and expansion of capital expenditures.
High dividend yield and leading companies: if external uncertainty persists, capital is more likely to flow back to cash-flow-stable products.
【Key Daily Schedule】
OPEC monthly oil report.
Relevant macro speech windows.
Domestic manufacturing, shipping, semiconductors, and travel-chain data continue to be updated.
【One-sentence Summary】
The market is still in a phase of high-volatility repricing; the four lines worth tracking most are resources, shipping, computing power, and semiconductors.
【Risk Warning】
Current market pricing is simultaneously disturbed by commodity volatility, interest-rate expectations, and external uncertainties; in the short term, a structure of a spike up first and then giving back gains is likely.
