The latest news, strung together in a few quick updates: today’s market has a bit of a “says no, but its actions say otherwise” vibe.
【Crypto Security】
One-line headline: Binance says hackers used fake job interviews to attack employees’ devices and make off with crypto assets.
Commentary: Interviews turned into “coin-view” interviews. These days, you’d better vet the other side before sending in your résumé—your work device is worth more than your résumé.
【Macro and Policy】
One-line headline: The US CFTC greenlights perpetual futures on US stocks, allowing single-stock futures to trade on regulated markets for the first time.
Commentary: Traditional finance is starting to play with “perps” like the crypto world. The regulatory wrapping may be new, but the leverage feels just the same.
One-line headline: Meta is restarting dollar bond issuance and plans to raise at least $20 billion in the US and Europe.
Commentary: $META is being criticized for burning through cash on AI too quickly, yet it’s taking on debt to keep going. In the end, investors foot the bill for this infrastructure-building spree.
【Moves in US Stocks and Major Asset Classes】
One-line headline: US stocks opened mixed, with $AMD up 2.2%, $MU up 2.9%, NVDA up 2%, and AAPL down 2%.
Commentary: The AI trio in tech stocks are still partying, while Apple sits alone in the corner contemplating life.
One-line headline: Brent crude fell 3% intraday to $100.43 a barrel.
Commentary: Oil prices heard that funding for aid to Israel could be halted and dropped first, just to be safe. Geopolitics runs deeper than oil.
【After-hours Rebound in A-share and Hong Kong Stock Contracts】
One-line headline: A-share and Hong Kong stock contracts rebounded across the board after hours, with $中际旭创 up 4% and 长鑫科技 up 1.74%.
Commentary: They only remembered to rally after the close—just like how many people only remember to work out after they get off work.
