Latest News Roundup
I. Macro and Policy
1. U.S. EIA inventory data delayed due to Veterans Day: Crude oil inventories will be released at 01:00 Beijing time on November 13, and natural gas inventories at 23:30 the same day.
Commentary: The delay may slow the pace of short-term trading. Market sentiment is prone to fluctuate while traders wait for the data, so it may be better to watch rather than act.
2. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent moved to a military base amid Iranian threats: The Treasury Department confirmed the move and said he would continue to advance sanctions and trade restrictions against Iran.
Commentary: Geopolitical risk signals matter more than their short-term price impact. It is worth watching how this kind of news affects risk-averse sentiment.
II. AI and Technology
1. Anthropic says Claude completed a low-level GPU code port in three days: Disclosed during its IPO roadshow, Claude Mythos Preview enabled the model to run key computing tasks on AMD GPUs, with Claude porting or writing almost all of the GPU kernels itself.
Commentary: If true, this is a variable worth tracking for its potential long-term impact on the moat around Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem. However, the information disclosed during the roadshow still needs to be verified.
2. AI data company Mercor raises $750 million in Series D funding: Its valuation reached $20 billion, doubling from the previous year. $NVDA , Salesforce, Zoom, Benchmark, and General Catalyst were among the investors.
Commentary: Capital continues to pour into the AI data layer. A doubling in valuation in one year suggests investor bets on upstream data supply have yet to cool.
III. Corporate and Personnel Controversy
Republican senator calls for Jensen Huang to resign: Kevin Cramer said Huang's extramarital affair posed a potential blackmail risk, especially given that $NVDA controls sensitive AI chip technology. A former Trump economic adviser also called for him to step down immediately.
Commentary: This is political pressure and is likely to have a limited impact on company operations in the short term. However, governance concerns around $NVDA will continue to attract attention.
IV. Markets and Trading
1. South Korea's KOSPI closes up 2.6% at 5,375.36: HXSCL rose 5.36%, and Samsung Electronics gained 3.32%.
Commentary: Semiconductor heavyweights drove the index higher, echoing positive sentiment around the AI computing power theme.
2. Trader AguilaTrades had a 33% win rate on 18 BTC trades in one week, losing $547,000: They currently hold a 40x leveraged long position of 340.45 BTC, with a liquidation price of around $73,000.
Commentary: With high-frequency, high-leverage trading, a low win rate means steady losses. The liquidation price on a 40x long is not far from the current price, so the risk exposure is clear. Fine to watch, but don't copy the trade.
Question for discussion: Which concerns you more: the impact of AI computing power on the NVDA ecosystem, or the high-leverage risks faced by large BTC holders?
